Khao Sok National Park in Thailand 5 Mar 2025

Today, we are in a wildlife-packed wonderland with rainforests older than the Amazon—Khao Sok National Park in Surat Thani province, southern Thailand. Established in 1980, the park is home to diverse wildlife, including the Malayan tapir, white-handed gibbon, gaur and hornbill, making it an ideal destination for anyone ready to swap city noise for jungle sounds. There are trails to tackle, kayaks to paddle and, if you"re fortunate, you might even catch a glimpse of the massive (and stinky) Rafflesia flower when it"s in bloom.
