What places to visit in Khao Sok?

Must-visit places in Khao Sok

Khao Sok National Park

อุทยานแห่งชาติเขาสก

---

My opinion :

It is certainly one of the most beautiful national parks in Thailand ! The highlight of Khao Sok is Chiew Lan Lake that many compare to Halong Bay. Some even dare to say that it is more beautiful. Spending the night in a floating hotels on the lake is an experience I recommend. Otherwise, you have interesting treks to discover waterfalls and caves.

Khao Sok emerald pool (Ban Nam Rad)

ป่าต้นน้ำบ้านน้ำราด

---

My opinion :

This natural pool with crystalline water surrounded by lush nature is located about sixty kilometers from Surat Thani city and seventy kilometer from Khao Sok. It's very pleasant to swim there and the boat trip on the river is really nice!

Rafflesia, the largest flower in the world

บัวผุด

---

My opinion :

It is the largest flower in the world. It is very rare and endangered. It can be seen in Thailand, in Khao Sok National Park, over a period from December to the end of March. There aren't any open every day, so it's impossible to be sure, even at this time, that you'll be able to see any when you're there.

Khao Na Nai Luang Dharma Park

อุทยานธรรมเขานาในหลวง

---

My opinion :

This temple located at 70 kilometres from Khao Sok or at the same distance from Surat Thani city offers incredible views from its elements arranged on 4 mountain peaks culminating at 300 meters of altitude for the highest. At sunrise, it's just magical!
