The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) continuously promotes Thai destinations, delivering the next chapter of locations in the global campaign “Feel all the Feelings” x Amazing Thailand x LISA, reaffirming the grandeur of Thailand's nature once again.
This time, it takes us south to fully recharge amidst nature in Surat Thani, a city filled with the charm of mountains, lush forests, and clear waters. For anyone weary from work, get your bags ready to release your feelings.
Khao Sok, an ancient forest on a lake that cleanses everyworry. The conceptof this trip is to take yourself to "feel complete freedom as far as the eye can see" at Khao Sok National Park (Cheow Lan Dam or Ratchaprapha Dam).
Imagine starting your first day by booking a chill floating raft accommodation. In the morning, opening your door reveals mist drifting above emerald green waters. Go wildlife spotting, kayak, or jump into the water in front of your room. Explore the vast, fertile valleys as if nature intentionally crafted this place to cleanse your worries and truly set you free.
After fully recharging at the raft stay, on the remaining days, we invite you to capture beautiful locations and experience lifestyle and nature fully with 5 check-in spots guaranteed to give you stunning photos to show your friends.
1. Khao Sam Gleua (Thailand's Guilin) Wake up early to take a long-tail boat from the raft to pose beautifully with the top highlight of Cheow Lan Dam: "Khao Sam Gleua," the three limestone peaks standing majestically amidst emerald waters. This spot is the iconic angle everyone must stop by and snap for Instagram.
2. Bamboo Rafting on Klong Sok Change the vibe from the long-tail boat to leisurely sitting on a "bamboo raft," drifting along the clear waters of Klong Sok, flanked by limestone cliffs and moist tropical forest. Listen to birdsong and flowing water, letting nature embrace and heal your mind in the ultimate slow-life experience.
3. Bang Bai Mai Pracharath Floating Market (Ton Jak Tunnel) Foodies and content creators must not miss this! Stop by to stroll and taste local delicacies at Bang Bai Mai Floating Market. The highlight is paddling a boat under the "Ton Jak Tunnel," where nipa palms arch together creating a shady, beautiful, and intriguingly mysterious atmosphere—a very stylish photo spot.
4. Tham Khao Na Nuaang Park Discover an unseen Thailand photo spot located on a mountaintop amidst seas of mist and nature. The highlight is the spectacular "Buddhavadi Gate." Especially in early morning, when sunlight streams through the gate, it creates a sacred, magnificent, and stunning scene.
5. Ban Nam Rad Headwater Forest End the trip by swimming in crystal-clear waters at "Ban Nam Rad Headwater Forest," a natural blue pond hidden in the forest. Whether you dip in the refreshing cool water or rent a kayak to explore nature's richness, it's equally delightful.
Surat Thaniis not just about the sea and Koh Samui but also has forests and waterways waiting for you to discover. This holiday, find time to rest, let go of stress, and "experience every feeling in Thailand" following Lisa's path. We guarantee this trip will fully heal your heart.
