Ratchaprapha Dam Viewpoint
เขื่อนรัชชประภา
The dam at the entrance to Cheow Lan Lake, offering views over the peaks and lake, and the departure pier for all lake boat tours.
Ratchaprapha Dam was completed in 1982 and stands about 94 m high. From the top of the dam and the nearby viewpoint, visitors can look out over the peaks and lake inlets at the entrance to Cheow Lan Lake. It is a good place to enjoy the scenery for those without time for a boat tour. There is a visitor center, a pier, and a restaurant beside the dam. All longtail boat lake tours depart from here, and the national park entrance fee is paid at the pier. It is about 60 km from Khao Sok village, roughly a 1-hour drive.
