The tropical forests on the narrow Thai isthmus – is one of the oldest environments on earth

 

Khao Sok National Park is located about 2½ hours drive from Phuket and Krabi, in the middle of the narrow peninsula that separates the Bay of Thailand from The Andaman Sea. No where else will you find a protected nature environment as large as this one.

No where else will you find a place that can compete with the beauty and the opportunities to seek activities in recreational surroundings.

 

We recommend at least 2 days / 1 night. Part of the total nature adventure is to sleep in the jungle, - look at the fireflies dancing in the dark and listen to the sounds of the night.

 

On the 1-day tour from Phuket and Krabi, the 2½ hour drives in each direction the same day is often regarded as an anticlimax. Are you on the other hand willing to suffer a bit for the course of a day full of adventure, then you can safely participate on the full day tour.

Khao Sok National Park in Southern Thailand is an amazing place. It is covered by the oldest evergreen rainforest in the world, huge limestone mountains shooting straight up in the air, deep valleys, breathtaking lakes, exciting caves, wild animals and much more. Khao Sok is a fantastic place to go on vacation. Elephant trekking, trekking on foot, canoeing and jeep safaris are all possible activities, which will give you the experience of a lifetime. Khao Sok is perfectly situated on the mainland between Phuket, Krabi, Khao Lak and Koh Samui, the most popular destinations in southern Thailand. Khao Sok consists of thick native rainforest, waterfalls, majestic limestone cliffs and an island stubbed lake. It is the 22nd National Park in Thailand. Size The National Park covers an area of 739 km2 Thanks to two other protected areas (Klong Saers and Khlong Nakha) next to Khao Sok the actual protected area measures almost 4000 km2. Location Khao Sok is situated in the southern part of Thailand. It belongs to the Surat Thani province, about 70 km south-west from Surat Thani Town. Climate Khao Sok is the wettest area in all of Thailand because it is situated at the mountain ridge separating the west coast from the east coast. Winds from both the Gulf of Thailand in the east and the Andaman Sea in the west blow monsoon rain into the area. It can rain as much as 3500 mm (3,5 m) in one year. Late December to early February is the driest period with just a little or no rainfall. Mosquito There is no need to worry about malaria, because the disease has been eradicated from this area a long time ago. Even so, we recommend that you bring mosquito repellent when you visit Khao Sok. The mosquitoes can sometimes be a bit annoying, especially in the evening and after rain. Geography The dominant forest is lowland rainforest. The rainforest in Southeast Asia is 160 million years old, which makes it the oldest rainforest on earth. Khao Sok is well known for its limestone mountains. The highest limestone peak is 960 m high, but the average height is 400-600 m. The National Park consists of: 40 % foothill rainforest 27 % rainforest plains 15 % limestone crag vegetation 15 % lowland scrub 3 % rainforest at 600-1000 m The nature here has more in common with the Malaysian forest than the forest in the north of Thailand. Compared to the forests of the north the forest in Khao Sok is taller, darker, more humid and evergreen. There are approximately 200 different floral species per hectare. Wildlife (recorded species) Mammals: 48 species Birds: 188 species Bats: 38 species Reptiles: Not known Insects
