The Three Brothers: Iconic Limestone Karsts of Cheow Lan Lake

A breathtaking view of 'Khao Sam Kler,' more famously known as the Three Brothers, rising dramatically from the emerald-green waters of Cheow Lan Lake. These iconic limestone karsts are the signature landmark of Khao Sok National Park in Southern Thailand.

Sculpted over 160 million years by tectonic shifts and tropical erosion, these towering pillars are remnants of an ancient coral reef system that predates the Amazon rainforest. Today, they stand as silent guardians over a 165-square-kilometer lake, surrounded by primary rainforest that is home to wild elephants, gibbons, and rare hornbills. This image captures the ethereal beauty of Thailand’s 'Little Guilin,' where the prehistoric scale of the landscape meets the tranquil stillness of the water
