Khao Sok National Park in southern Thailand is a nature reserve that features dense virgin jungle, towerlike limestone karst formations, and the man-made Cheow Lan Lake. It is home to rare species such as the giant parasitic Rafflesia flower, hornbill birds, gibbons, and tigers.

The park can be explored by elephant, hiking trail, rafting, canoeing, or kayaking down the Sok River.

Kayaking through Cheow Lan Lake allows you to get up close and personal with the abundant wildlife that inhabits Khao Lak’s vibrant rainforest. On your tour, keep an eye out for white sock gaurs, jungle buffalos, and even a rare sighting of the lars gibbon.

You might get lucky and see some wild Asian elephants, which are all rare but magnificent creatures. Beyond the trees, birds of various species, including the great hornbill, swoop in and out of view.

This is a great activity for thrill seekers and animal lovers because it encourages you to learn about nature and all of its inhabitants.

Khao Sok National Park is one of the world’s oldest rainforests, making it an unforgettable experience for those seeking to get closer to nature.

The dense, 300-million-year-old lowland jungle has rich wildlife as well as breathtaking beauty, making it the ideal backdrop for your kayaking adventures, as well as the park’s hidden, man-made gem in Cheow Lan lake.
