An area of outstanding natural beauty, with spectacular limestone mountains,
cliffs, caves, rivers, and waterfalls.Much of the forest is still intact and home to a huge
variety of tropical birds, animals, insects, reptiles and plant life.
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 "Raffelasia," which grows to nearly
one meter in diameter can be found in the park at certain times of year
as well as many other distinct and rare species of plants.
Khao Sok Jungle Safari Tour
Pick up from hotels by air con vehicle and drive through Phang
Nga province passing rubber plantations and small villages en
route to Khao Sok. Nearing our destination the scenery changes,
beside the road views of mountains covered in rainforest can be
seen. Khao Sok is part of the largest area of rainforest in southern
Thailand. The Sok river valley cuts through the jungle and spectacular
views of Limestone Mountain and cliffs can be seen. This was once
part of an ancient trade route linking China and India.
One of the best ways to experience the jungle is to canoe down
the Sok river in inflatable canoes. A local guide paddles the
canoe and is expert at spotting any animals along the way. The
exotic tropical vegetation clinging to the river banks with limestone
cliffs and mountains rising up on both sides creates a secret
primeval world that very few people every see. Birds such as hornbill,
kingfisher, heron, egret, various reptiles and even wild monkeys
live in the area. A buffet lunch of freshly prepared Thai dishes
cooked not too spicy will be served.
After lunch visit Siam Safari elephant camp where information
will be given on elephants and their conservation and you can
find out about our elephant conservation project. Trek on elephant
back into the jungle, a unique and memorable experience. You get
a bird eye view of nature as the elephant silently moves along
the jungle trail. The valley you trek in is surrounded by mountains
of the national park and the scenery is truly spectacular. Sadly
it is time to return to your hotel but experiencing the rainforest
by canoe and elephant is something you will never forget.
Please wear non-slip shoes, loose comfortable clothes, bring
a small back or pack with a change of clothes in case you get
wet and sun protection or a rain coat depending on the weather.
If you want to swim in the river please bring swim wear and towel.
