Khao Sok National Park, Thailand

Khao Sok National Park is a protected area in the Surat Thani Province of southern Thailand, which is the largest untouched forest and represents a small piece of what was once a larger and denser jungle than the Amazon. It is home to many plant and animal species, including some of the oldest evergreen rainforests in the world. The park is known for its towering limestone cliffs, beautiful lakes, and waterfalls.

The park covers an area of over 740 square kilometers and is home to several endangered species, including the Asian elephant, Malayan sun bear, and clouded leopard. In addition to its rich biodiversity, Khao Sok National Park is also home to many Buddhist temples and cave systems, which monks have used for centuries as places of meditation and spiritual retreat.

The Khao Sok National Park requires at least three to four days to explore. This allows visitors to experience the rainforest by visiting elephant camps and engaging in adventure activities such as kayaking. Hiking, seeing the beautiful rainforest cave temple, viewing the amazing waterfalls, and sightseeing are all popular activities in the National Park. Continue on to Chiew Lan Lake to see the amazing granite formations. Bamboo rafting is a favorite pastime among Khao Sok National Park visitors. In the park, there are nine various trails to choose from, each of which is unique. Several accommodation options are also available, including campsites, bungalows, and floating raft houses.
