There is a national park in Surat Thani in southern Thailand, called Khao Sok. In view of the rich tropical plants, animals and limestone terrain in this area, it was opened in December 1980. Khao Sok National Park was formally established on the 12nd, and our formation today is to come to the Ratchaprapa Dam in the territory to enjoy the scenery on the lake.
According to the information on the official website, Ratchaprapa Dam was established in 1982. It was used by EGAT (Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand) to flow through a river-Paseang river in Surat Thani. As the base, this reservoir was built, and the artificial lake formed is called Cheow Larn lake (tentative translation: Autumn Wave Lake).
The most fascinating thing on the lake is the various stone forests formed by the limestone terrain. Most of the limestone is formed by the reef-building corals, shells, and lime algae in the ocean after they are deposited on the seabed and cemented and recrystallized. Some are in shallow seas and hot springs. Or the precipitation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in the lagoon, Ratchaprapa Dam belongs to this kind, because it rises after the earth's crust changes, and the climate is tropical and rainy, and the terrain has rivers passing by, so it can be like this. view.From Guilin in China, Krabi and Khao Sok in Thailand, Halong Bay in Vietnam and Sarawak in Malaysia are all limestone terrain with beautiful scenery.
In this trip, we took a small boat to explore the beautiful scenery on the lake, a total of 2.5 hours to visit. At the beginning, the tour guide asked us to look back, wanting to say what is special, it turns out that the two drivers of our boat are children. !But I didn’t have any worries when I arrived, because the main driving children were so skilled that they didn’t even see any big fluctuations when driving into the stone forest. The steering made us very skilled at taking pictures of the stone forests nearby, so I turned around and continued to take pictures next to me with confidence. Beautiful lake view and mountains.
Sitting on the bow of a long-tail boat, looking at the five-colored ribbon tied to the bow, I believe it is mostly for praying for safe travel in and out. The blue sky and white clouds in front of me are complemented by the beautiful scenery around me. I always want to press more shutter Commemorate this moment.There is a floating house in the middle of the lake for tourists to take a rest and vacation here. If I have the opportunity to come again, I would like to have the opportunity to stay here for one night and enjoy the starry sky and the beautiful view of the lake in the morning.At the end of the travel itinerary, you will return to the original place, where you will dine here. The meal is Thai cuisine, and the taste must be accustomed to eating. You may wish to rest for a while before proceeding to the next attraction or return to the hotel.
If you want to come here to visit, local travel agencies have Day Tour you can participate in, or you can refer to the travel information on the official website and contact the store on the website>>http://www.khaosok.com/transport-ferry.htm
