360° Issara
A floating resort surrounded by ancient landscapes.
Set on the waters of Cheow Lan Lake, surrounded by the rainforest and limestone mountains of Khao Sok National Park, 360° Issara offers a rare way to experience one of Thailand’s most striking landscapes. Accessible only by boat, the floating resort places guests within the natural environment, with the lake becoming part of everyday life. We were invited to create a photographic story bringing together the setting, design, Thai hospitality and quiet sense of adventure that define the experience.
Working from the water, we followed the guest journey through changing weather and light, from misty mornings and kayaking across the lake to shared meals and quiet moments outside the floating rooms. Our focus was on capturing both the scale of the landscape and the warmth of the local team who give the resort its character. The resulting imagery presents 360° Issara as an intimate base for discovering Khao Sok, shaped equally by its extraordinary surroundings and the people who welcome guests into them.

Nature & Experiences
At 360° Issara, the experience extends far beyond the floating rooms. Longtail boat journeys lead guests between rainforest-covered limestone formations, while wildlife excursions and guided cave visits reveal the depth of Khao Sok’s landscape. Our photography followed these experiences as they unfolded, capturing guests searching the canopy for wildlife, exploring caves and learning from the local team who navigate this environment each day. The resulting images balance the immense scale of the national park with quieter moments of curiosity and exchange, presenting nature as something encountered through movement, knowledge and close attention.
