Chiao Lan Lake, Artificial reservoir in Ban Ta Khun, Thailand.

The water body stretches across 185 square kilometers within Khao Sok National Park, bordered by steep limestone cliffs and dense rainforest vegetation.

The Rajjaprabha Dam construction in 1982 created this reservoir, requiring the relocation of 385 families from Ban Chiew Lan village to new settlements.

The Thai king named it Rajjaprabha, meaning 'light of the kingdom', during the dam's inauguration ceremony on his 60th birthday in 1987.

Visitors access the lake through Ratchaprapha Municipal Pier, where longtail boats transport them to floating accommodations and natural attractions.

The lake contains multiple waterways called klongs, each offering specific experiences from wildlife observation to cave exploration and kayaking adventures.
