Khao Sok National Park Holidays
Khao Sok National Park contains the largest area of virgin forest in Southern Thailand and is a remnant of a diverse rainforest that dates back further than the Amazon. In addition to exotic flora like the rare Bua Phut flower, this impressive landscape is also home to some awesome animlas - tigers, Sambar deer, bears, wild boars, gibbons, macaques and perhaps most famously, Asian elephants, to name-check but a few.
For some Thai-tourists, the lure of the beach lifestyle proves too strong and a horizontal holiday ensues. And that's great. But for those with a spring in their step and an imagination brimming with adventure, Khao Sok National Park is a welcome escape. A new world of waterfalls, limestone cliffs and misty outcrops awaits, all threaded together by a network of dirt-trails.
