Cheo Lan Lake in Thailand is considered by both locals and tourists to be the pearl of the Khao Sok National Park, despite the fact that the lake is a creation of human hands. Do not think that the reservoir with an area of 165 square kilometers and a depth of up to 150 meters was dug by machines or manually. It appeared in the 80s after the dam was built here.
Now Cheo Lan is the main source of drinking water for residents of the region and attracts a lot of tourists. There are several fishing villages on the shores of the lake, the inhabitants of which provide tourists with shelter and boats for walking.
The lake is surrounded on all sides by limestone cliffs overgrown with bamboo, ferns and exotic plants.
