66 millions years ago the Khao Sok landscape in Thailand was formed. The limestone was forced upwards when the Indian land-plate crashed into the Eurasian plate. The ice age never affected Khao Sok much. The ice never reached this far south in Asia, leaving the landscape and the rivers as they where. When the ice melted again, more water than ever floated into the rivers of Khao Sok, making the flora even richer than it was before.
Perfect for jungle safari & jungle tour! That is why the rainforest in Khao Sok is older than the forests of Central America and the Amazons, which were covered with ice. Today the Khao Sok area in south Thailand is one of the most amazing rainforests on earth. Wow - jungle safari & jungle tour here and now!
It became a National Park in 1980. Khao Sok in southern Thailand offers an opportunity for adventure vacations. The Park for the jungle safari & jungle tour covers an area of 739 square kilometers. It is one of Thailand’s best preserved habitats for tropical vegetation and wildlife, with evergreen virgin jungle, waterfalls, sparkling clear rivers and amazing limestone cliffs. The lush tropical jungles of Khao Sok National Park offer travelers an adventurous vacation, but also not to strenuous. Khao Sok National Park has a unique floating bungalow resort. The floating resort will be the 'base camp' for the 2- and 3-days jungle safari & jungle tour. We spend each day venturing out to paddle by sea kayak into various coves and will also go for a hike.
The park is surrounded by green mountains with abundant and protected wildlife. A visit to Khao Sok National Park in south Thailand will give you the opportunity to view lakes, waterfalls and jungle life, literally in the middle of the Asian rainforest. Many species of birds live within the park and various monkeys including Gibbons make appearances throughout the day. Wow - jungle safari & jungle tour now! Available Jungle Safari:
