Around twohours taxi ride from Phuket lies Cheow lan lake which was created in 1982 by daming the Sok river and creating the most stunning of all Thailand's reservoirs. At the time of construction lots of natural habitat was lost and thousands of animals displaced when countless square Kilometers of forest were submerged beneath the waters of the lake. This submerged forest is what now harbours a good head of Giant snakehead and other fish species.
