The Rain Forest of Khao Sok

Many consider the Khao Sok National Park to be one of the most beautiful -- and least visited -- national parks in Thailand. The pristine, moist evergreen forest abounds with wildlife and fascinating plants. The park provides an

adventure for botanists, environmentalists, naturalists or anyone interested in exploring plant and wildlife in a rain forest. Arts Lodge sits on the edge of the park within walking distance.

Activities

- Swim in the stream under the cliffs. - Take walks in the rain forest to waterfalls and large natural pools of cool clear water. - Take a one day boat trip or spend overnight on a raft house in a huge lake bordered by cliffs and caves in a setting right out of a fairy tale. - Kayak down the river past cliffs, forest, and farms.

As you probably already know, Khao Sok National Park is a rain forest. Thus, rains fall throughout the year. However, from June through November, the rains can be especially heavy. Some park walks are closed, but you can still enjoy a memorable stay in the forest. You can float through this majestic landscape in a canoe or inner tubes, tour a nearby lake, take elephant treks, and many other interesting excursions.
