Khaosok Lake House At Ratchaprapa Dam

The staff were incredibly friendly and always willing to help. Since there was hardly anything to do there, they kept offering excursions that were all included in the price. The food was great – plenty of it, with four different dishes per meal plus fruit. The rooms were very small, with four mattresses on the floor that filled up the space; two beds would have been better than mattresses on the floor. Only a wool blanket was provided for bedding, no sheets. The mattresses were innerspring and you could feel every coil. Getting into the water was tough because there was no ladder; instead a movable water platform with ears was set up, and you had to lift yourself out of it, which was hard to stand on. Older people never went into the water. You were only allowed to enter with a life jacket, which did what it was supposed to do and kept you afloat, but it had nothing to do with swimming.

“Arnaque totale”

The scenery was the only good part. The address listed on Booking led us to a place with no signage or hotel name; after searching for 5 to 10 minutes I asked someone who showed me a sliding frame, approached it and saw two women and a little girl in a bed in front of the TV eating. I knocked, sure I wasn’t in the right place, and she waved me over; I asked in English and she stayed lying down, asked for my booking number on her phone, told me her brother would come, and after 10 minutes we followed a man in a car who drove us to the lake – already pretty strange. We arrived at the lake, paid the brother we followed, then paid for parking (normal), then paid a state tax for the site, then paid the park entrance, then paid for the small boat that took us to the hotel… we paid constantly, the boat ride was 30 minutes, then we asked for a Coke with ice – you have to pay for the ice! Before that we reached the reception, I said ‘sabadikra’ good morning and they didn’t reply or say hello. The lady gave me a case with the key and a remote, saying 100 bath deposit with a head to the floor… I repeated a second time (good morning) and got nothing but a disdainful look! It didn’t smell good 😊 … and indeed, in the room it didn’t smell good either, or at least 40 degrees, the bay water didn’t smell good, but then the unbearable odor of the generator fuel behind the reception… not to mention the terrible noise, it was horrific!

Our guide Pong was fantastic, we were so lucky to have him! The safari was fun because of him! He explains all the animals and nature etc in the area and takes you to the places. The nature and mix of blue and green are nothing you can find anywhere. Just magical! You only hear the sound of forest and water. Great place to clear mind. For this kind of money, you stay in a luxury 5 star hotels including fantastic breakfast. Our price, 60,000 baht was too much for 4 people for 2 nights in total. The room is basic but be careful, it is full board but the food (I’m sorry) is camping food when you go to camping with high school. Lunch and dinner are same , no selection. Yet, you pay a fortune! Also, it is shocking that you have to pay 50 baht for internet. Internet should be free to guest house customers all the time. Another thing is this place is a welfare of employees so they stop at this place everyday between 12-3 pm and bring their customers for lunch. Then it is super busy! It is like a bus stop! Also, breakfast is very minimal including eggs , cocktail sausage and pancake. Yet, it is cold served like lunch and dinner so no taste. Also, I booked 2 deluxe rooms for 4 pp in another location but they easily change rooms depends on their availability between guest houses. So we ended up in another location according to our guide. Pics are not from the guest house we stayed. Therefore, the food and service quality was very very low. Luckily, we had a great guide who tried to make it better for us
