Khao Sok National Park:
This is popular eco-tourism destination in the South. Khao Sok, covering 738 square kilometres, was proclaimed a national park in 1980. As part of the largest moist evergreen forest in Southern Thailand, the park is rich with diverse flora, some of which are rarely seen elsewhere, including certain families of lotus, white palm, and fern.
Khao Sok is also one of the best bird-watching spots in Thailand. At least 155 species of birds are reportedly seen here, some of which are rare, such as hawk, heron, and many others.
Most of the park is bejeweled with convoluted limestone mountains of the Phuket Range, and very scenic canyons, streams, caves and waterfalls. The limestone island islets in the reservoir at Ratchaprapha Dam are very striking.
The Tourist Service Centre at the park headquarter provides information and brochures on the various trails and activities in the park. Visitors can go treking, bird-watching, paddling, canoeing, and camping. The best time to visit the park is from December to April.
