The Ratchaprapha Dam, formerly known as the Cheow Lan Dam, is a multipurpose dam in Surat Thani Province, southern Thailand. Upon completion, it was granted the name "Ratchaprapha" by His Majesty the King, meaning "Light of the Kingdom." The dam's reservoir boasts stunning scenery, with numerous limestone mountains, earning it the nickname "Thailand's Guilin."

"The 500-rai floating platform" is considered the most beautiful platform in the Ratchaprapha Dam. It has the most amenities, comparable to 4-5 star hotels, and offers various activities for customers to enjoy and relax.

The "Khao Sam Kler" are three prominent limestone mountains that stand out in the middle of the reservoir, forming the iconic landmark of Khao Sok National Park.

The breathtaking beauty of nature's creation is truly beyond description, living up to its name as the "Guilin of Thailand."

Upon arrival at the airport, a van from the 500 Rai Resort will pick you up and take you to the check-in point.

Before heading to the pier, the van will take you to see the area around the dam.

This year, the dam is hosting a 30th anniversary exhibition for the Ratchaprapha Dam.

The view from the dam crest is breathtaking.

Upon exiting the dam ridge, you will arrive at the pier to board a boat to the 500 Rai Resort.

After boarding the boat, it takes about an hour and a half to reach the 500-rai floating market.

As the 500-rai raft is located furthest inside the reservoir, it takes a long time to travel to.

After disembarking, you will arrive at the point to receive your room key. From both sides of the bridge, you can look down and see fish in their natural habitat in the dam.

Fish feeding is allowed in this area. Fish food provided here consists of raw corn kernels.

The resort's swimming pool is a freshwater pool. If you don't want to jump into the dam, you can swim in this pool.

The rooms are arranged in a long row, with each room having its own kayak and life jacket.

The package included various activities, but it rained throughout our trip.

As a result, we were only able to go kayaking and jump off the balcony of our room. T-T

Paddling through the gentle rain, the surrounding landscape lush and verdant from the recent downpour.

To ensure a peaceful and relaxing stay, this resort offers a unique experience by disconnecting guests from the outside world. With no phone signal or internet access, visitors are encouraged to fully immerse themselves in the tranquility of the surroundings. This absence of technology provides an opportunity to engage in leisurely activities and reconnect with nature.

The admin woke up early in the morning to see the fog floating on the water, but was disappointed because it was raining.

As a result, the fog did not appear.

In the absence of fog, let's enjoy the morning scenery around the accommodation.

They say that Khao Sok during the rainy season is just as beautiful as any other time of year.

The early morning is peaceful and beautiful.

If you're looking to relax and unwind after work, this is the place to be.

Before leaving, the resort will take you on a boat ride to see the "Little Guilin," a limestone mountain range set against emerald-green water.

The scenery is just as beautiful as anywhere else.

Along the way, you will see the refreshing sight of lush green trees that are very pleasing to the eyes.

After the rain stops, a thin mist hangs over the mountain peaks.

The "Khao Sam Kler" are three limestone mountains that stand prominently above the water in the middle of the reservoir.

They are considered the symbol of Khao Sok National Park.

The water here is crystal clear because the surrounding limestone contains various minerals. When these minerals dissolve in the water, they prevent it from spoiling and contribute to its exceptional clarity.

Khao Sok National Park during the rainy season remains a place of unparalleled beauty. Despite the incessant rainfall during my visit, which limited activities to swimming and paddling in front of the accommodation, the experience was truly unforgettable. This is the inspiration behind the title of this review.
