The Greenery Panvaree: a gem for experiencing the unmatched tranquility of Khao Sok

In southern Thailand, the wild paradise of Khao Sok attracts nature lovers. The park is unparalleled for climbing, forest trails, or navigating high-altitude lakes. Planning a custom trip to Phuket or Surat Thani with a stop at Khao Sok National Park? The Greenery Panvaree is a recommended stop. Stilted pavilions on Cheow Lan Lake serve as your accommodation. Built of fine wood and topped with thatched roofs, they blend perfectly with the environment. The interior is air-conditioned and connected to Wi-Fi. Outside the lodge, you can step onto the water while tasting local specialties, join a canoe race, or enjoy a romantic boat ride at sunset as the sun sets over the rocky peaks scattered across the lake. Booking at Greenery Panvaree combines escape and comfort. The best place to admire the Thai Guilin and share the daily life of fishermen.

Comfortably furnished wooden pavilions

The charming floating pavilions offer respectable comfort. They include a flat-screen TV, practical furniture, and private bathrooms. The air conditioning works well. Most visitors love the small private balcony, connected to the lake by wooden steps. You can sit and swim at your leisure.

A free buffet breakfast is provided. There is an on-site restaurant for lunch and dinner, where the chef serves typical Thai dishes.

Things to see and do around the lodge

Cheow Lan Lake is a sought-after site for canoeists and water sports enthusiasts. The lodge organizes daily boat tours and provides kayaks to explore these emerald waters. During these excursions, visitors may spot wildlife. Needle-like peaks rise from the lake’s depths, creating a stunning backdrop. These rocky peaks were once mountain tops before being submerged during the creation of the dam. Cheow Lan Lake has a fascinating history, and tour guides will be happy to share it during excursions.

Besides canoeing and swimming, a forest hike is a great way to encounter gibbons, visit caves, and see waterfalls.
