About Khao Sok National Park

Khao Sok sits at the centre of the largest rainforest in southern Thailand, covering 738.74 square kilometres including the land north of the Rajjaprabha Dam: limestone peaks, forest and marsh, rare birds such as the Malayan banded pitta, and the rafflesia, which can flower between November and April (TAT). It lies between the Andaman coast and Surat Thani, the gateway to Samui.

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Khao Sok National Park before you go.
