River View Resort At Chaewlan

The Garden Room and the Family House have nature views, and the Deluxe Villa, the Executive and the Capsule Twin look over the river.

River View Resort At Chaewlan sits in the Ban Ta Khun area of Surat Thani province, a rural part of southern Thailand where reservoirs, hills and forest take the place of town streets. It is a quiet area for a few nights away from the traffic of the city, and the water is close by. Surat Thani Airport is 40.6 km away, so the reservoir area feels well removed from the bustle of the town.

The Ratchaprapha Dam sits 1.7 km away and forms Cheow Lan Lake, a reservoir dotted with limestone hills. Ratchaprapa Forest Park is only 300 m from the resort, and a viewpoint over the lake lies 2 km away. The forest and the water together make the area green and calm, with few shops or restaurants beyond the resort itself, so the walks and the lake views are the main reasons to be here.

Khao Sok National Park, 15 km away, is a rainforest park with limestone peaks, waterfalls and jungle trails, and it makes a full day out from the reservoir area. The Ratchaprabha Marina, a ferry terminal on the reservoir, is also close by for anyone who wants to get out on the water.
