About Khao Sok

Khao Sok is situated in the center of southern Thailand within easy driving distance of the major beach resorts of Phuket, Khao Lak and Krabi. Khao Sok is part of the largest area of tropical rainforest in southern Thailand. The scenery is dramatic with many jungle covered limestone peaks similar to Guilin in China. There is also Chiao Lan lake, dotted with over one hundred islands with the same spectacular limestone formations.

The nature and ecology of the area has yet to be fully studied but is truly amazing in the variety of plants and animals that exist here. The world largest flower "Raffelsia," which grows to nearly one meter in diameter can be found in the park at certain times of year as well a species of bamboo that is one of the largest in Southeast Asia. There are many orchids, ferns and palms including the very rare white back fan palm.

The variety of insects is huge, many have yet to be studied. Wild elephant, a small number of tiger, bear, monkeys, gibbon, porcupine, pangolin, deer and the rare mountain serow live in the park. Several hundred species of bird live here including the hornbill. Reptiles are in abundance. The wild animals are not easily seen due to the thick vegetation but tracks are evident as well as the distant call of the gibbon from high up in the canopy.

The main reason to visit Khao Sok is to experience the world-class nature an scenery of the rainforest and to learn something of its ecology.
