Trip Reviews
Andreas Matter, Czech Republic
Solo Traveler
Monday 12 March 2012
"Hi, I enjoyed the time on the boat. The trip was very nice and the food was fantastic. The crew and the guide were friendly and competent. The Guest House (rooms) on the last day fits - as seen by me - not in the offer. I think it would be better if the lunch on the first Day and eating at the guest house is included in the price (even if there are 300 - 500 baht would be more expensive). Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Thanks for the feedback Andreas, I will send your feedback about the lunch on Day 1 and food in the guesthouse on your return to Bangkok to our team but at this time these are not included. Regards Bambi. "

Tell me more
Take a trip on this unique house boat and cruise around the amazing Khao Laem lake or more famously known as the thousand islands lake which close to the rural north western region of Thailand close to Burma.

Take a journey that no other travel company can offer. The lake house will be your home and playground on a five-day tour of Kheun Khao Laem, or Pointed Mountain Lake. H.M. King Bumiphol commissioned this lake only decades ago, which now lies at the center of a 1,497 km2 national park. We tug the house boat to a new part of the lake every day so that the scenery always changes.

As the area is actually a National Park it has amazing tropical fauna and flora with breathtaking views and tropical environment.

Getting back to nature is the objective of this tour.

This trip is five days and four nights with a host of activities that include elephant riding, kayaking, bamboo rafting, fishing and a visit to a traditional Karen tribe village.

There is a lovely sun deck for you to relax on and your can swim in the amazing fresh waters to your hearts content.

The scenery is absolutely breathtaking and you will visit an area not explored by too many travellers.

For those looking for a laid back and relaxing tour with amazing tropical scenery then this is the perfect trip for you.



For the Budget Traveler option facilities include 3 nights on the houseboat in dorm room with 6 beds and shared toilet and shower. The room has French balcony with lovely views and mosquito nets.
