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 Cheo Larn 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. |
