Khao Sok National Park

Situated in South Thailand, Khao Sok was established as Thailand's 22nd national park in 1980 by The Royal Forest Department. The park covers 739 km² land area of Amphoe Phanom and Ban Takhun in Surat Thani province and includes the Cheow Lan reservoir dammed by the Ratchaprapha dam. The relatively convenient distance to Koh Samui, Phuket, Krabi and Khao Lak makes this park the most popular national park in South Thailand.

Khao Sok is part of Khlong Saeng - Khao Sok Forest Complex covering allthogether around 5,316 km². The complex incorporates 12 protected areas including some offshore islands in the Andaman Sea. Khao Sok has Thailand's largest virgin forests and said to be one of the oldest evergreen rainforest in the world, according some sources more diverse than the Amazon Rainforest (arguably, should be taken with a pinch of salt).While the park is home for many exotic wild mammals such as Asian elephant, Malayan tapir, gibbons it is more famous for the symbolic flower of Surat Thani Province, the huge Bua Phut (Rafflesia kerrii) flower found on a trail starting from main road south of the park.

Wildlife

The park is home to a wide variety of mammal species such as elephant, gaur, banteng, sambar deer, sun bear, Asian black bear, malayan tapir, macaque, gibbon, serow, mouse-deer, porcupine, marbled cat, wild boar, Asiatic wild dog and many more.   Some tour companies advertise Khao Sok as a popular destination to see tigers. There have been tigers in Khao Sok, there may still be a smaller population deep inside the inaccessible areas, but no one has seen any for quite a while. The top tiger destination in Thailand is Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary where nearly 40 to 50% of Thailand's tiger population lives, but even there it is very rare to see a tiger.Great hornbill, helmeted hornbill, white-crowned hornbill, banded pittas, osprey, brahminy kite, blue-banded kingfisher, rufous-collared kingfisher are few of the hundreds of bird species that can be found in the park.To see a longer list of species found in Khao Sok.
