Khao Sok National Park
Khao Sok National Park is one of the famous nature sights in Southern Thailand. It’s home to rich wildlife thriving inside the world’s oldest evergreen rainforest.
Located in the Surat Thani Province is one such place where the positive vibes are strong and brimming – the Khao Sok National Park. With lush forestry, calm and tranquil waters, and thriving wildlife, it’s a haven for nature lovers. On the other hand, it’s a learning and eye-opening experience for casual visitors. You’ll find see delicious fruits naturally growing from forest trees like durian and mangosteen. You might be tempted and allowed to pick a few, but most of it is for the animals. Trekking, canoeing, bamboo rafting, and boating are just some of the activities you can indulge in.
