Stay On The Cheow Lan Lake In Thailand In Its Capsule Room

Phutawan Raft House is a remarkable stay that is situated on the Cheow Lan Lake in Surat Thani. Yes, you read that right. You will literally be on and surrounded by this pure emerald green water body. The lovely emerald green comes from the lake being deep and the rest is the contribution of algae.

The floating raft’s minimalist-looking capsules have glass walls that will allow you to wake up to stunning views of the lake. Even during nighttime, the starry sky and the lights of the Phutawan Raft House make it a rather romantic setting.

This way you can get your adrenaline pumping and can further go on hikes and explore the places nearby.

Coming to the food, they serve fresh seafood right outta the freshwater you just kayaked on. Yes, from the Cheow Lan Lake. They ensure that the food cooked here is a projection of the style and vibe of the place. This also means the food prepared is in a more Southern style.
