SOUTHERN THAILAND: KHAO SOK NATIONAL PARK
Khao Sok was established as Thailand’s 22nd national park in 1980 and is a popular choice for many due to its convenient proximity to areas such as Phuket, Krabi, Khao Lak, and Koh Samui. The area is comprised of lush rainforests, limestone (karst) landscapes, trails, caves, raft houses, and plenty of wildlife hiding in the thickets—including elephants, gaurs, sambar deer, wild boars and crab-eating macaques. In 1987, a 165-sq. km. reservoir, now known as Cheow Larn Lake, was created in Khao Sok, further adding to the beauty to be explored.
