KLONG KA RAFT HOUSE
A Floating Stay Close to Forest Trails & Caves
Klong Ka Raft House is located in the Klong Ka area of Cheow Lan Lake, where the lake opens into a broad, quiet stretch of water near forest and cave routes.
The raft house offers both fan-cooled and air-conditioned rooms with private en-suite bathrooms. Guests can swim or kayak directly from the raft, while nearby excursions include Prakai Phet Cave and the Klong Ka forest area.
One of Klong Ka’s distinctive features is the open water in front of the raft house. Early in the morning, this area can become particularly calm, making it a good location for sunrise kayaking and quiet time on the lake.

THE KLONG KA EXPERIENCE
Forest, Caves & Quiet Mornings on the Lake
Klong Ka works particularly well for travelers who want more than a floating-room stay. Its location gives easy access to kayaking, nearby cave exploration and forest routes, while the open water around the raft house is especially pleasant early in the morning.
WAKE UP & PADDLE OUT
Early morning is one of the best times to enjoy Klong Ka. Step directly from the raft into a kayak and paddle across the quiet water before the day's boat excursions begin.
EXPLORE PRAKAI PHET CAVE
Visit Prakai Phet Cave (Diamond Cave) by longtail boat with your guide. Inside, the cave is known for limestone formations and mineral deposits that reflect light along parts of the cave walls.
SWIM & KAYAK FROM THE RAFT
Between excursions, Klong Ka is an easy place to slow down. Swim directly from the raft, take a kayak out independently, or simply spend time beside the water before the next boat journey.
WALK THE KLONG KA FOREST
Explore the forest around Klong Ka with a local guide. The route takes you away from the open lake and into the rainforest, adding a land-based nature experience to your time on the water.
