Khao sok national park in Thailand
Visiting Khao Sok National Park is definitely one of the most beautiful experiences of my Thailand trip. I have really rarely seen such a natural spectacle.
Cheow Lan Lake is a flooded rainforest in Khao Sok National Park. The Dam also provides electricity for the south as well as being a tourist spot.
The entrance fee to Khao Sok National Park is 200 THB (6 USD) for adults and 100 THB (3 USD) for children! In addition, there is a 20 THB port free per person. Khao Sok National Park is open from 6 AM to 6 PM.
It was truly beautiful. However the lake, the surroundings and the local wildlife are literally something out of a movie.

#thailandtrip
I unearthed a tropical paradise at Khao Sok National Park! This stunning sanctuary in southern Thailand is a nature lover's dream. As I trekked through the ancient rainforest, I marveled at the towering limestone cliffs, crystal-clear lakes, and vibrant flora. A tranquil boat ride on Cheow Lan Lake revealed majestic scenery and playful wildlife. With its rich biodiversity, scenic beauty, and warm hospitality, Khao Sok National Park is a must-visit destination. Its untamed charm and serene atmosphere have forever etched a sense of wonder in my heart – a true gem waiting to be explored!
Ban Khao Theppitak, Surat Thani.
The highlight of this place is the suspension bridge and the heart-shaped mountain. The suspension bridge is still in use by the locals. To see the heart-shaped mountain, you must stand at a specific spot to witness this natural wonder. It's truly amazing how nature creates such wonders, but it's also a testament to human imagination.
Traveling here is not difficult as it is located near the Ratchaprapa Dam. You can easily stop by to visit. It's truly amazing.

The entrance fee to the park varies depending on the activities you choose, but it's well worth the cost for the breathtaking scenery and wildlife encounters. 🎟️💸
As I ventured into the heart of the park, I was mesmerized by the sheer beauty of my surroundings. 🌳🦋 The towering limestone karsts rising out of the emerald-green jungle canopy created a scene straight out of a postcard, while the sounds of exotic birds and monkeys filled the air. 🦜🐒
One of the highlights of my visit was exploring Cheow Lan Lake, a stunning reservoir nestled within the park's boundaries. 🚣♂️🏞️ I took a boat tour of the lake, marveling at the dramatic cliffs and hidden caves that lined its shores. We even stopped for a refreshing swim in the cool, clear waters—a truly magical experience! 🏊♂️💫
Back on land, I embarked on a guided jungle trek, where I had the chance to spot a variety of wildlife, including elephants, gibbons, and even the elusive tiger! 🐘🐅 The knowledgeable guides shared fascinating insights into the park's ecology and conservation efforts, making it a truly educational experience. 🌏📚
After a day of adventure, I retreated to my cozy accommodation nestled amidst the jungle, where I fell asleep to the sounds of the forest. 🌌🏕️ And the next morning, I woke up to a breathtaking sunrise over the mist-covered mountains—a moment I'll never forget. 🌅✨
Nearby attractions to Khao Sok National Park include the stunning Ratchaprapha Dam, where you can take a scenic boat ride through limestone cliffs, and the vibrant Khao Sok Elephant Sanctuary, where you can interact with rescued elephants in a natural setting. 🐘🌊

Khao Sok National Park
#thailandtrip This is a true gem but hard to spot animals as the forest is very dense. It is advisable to hire a local guide. The boat day trip is good but you spend a lot of time in the noisy and uncomfortable long tail boats. If you are to do the lake tour i would look for accomodation near the ratchaprapha pier as all boats depart from there.Beautiful untouched place. You get amazed to see the rocks, turquoise water.
The best and cheapest way to see it is to arrive to the port and hire a long tail boat which will bring you everywhere, show all the most beautiful picturesque points and if you wish also to the floating restaurant. Price for the whole boat with the captain varies from 2000-3000 ฿

It was so refreshing swimming in fresh water and spotting the wildlife. The rock formations are incredible! Massive, beautiful and of course photogenic.
