This magnificent national park, is within reasonable proximity to the popular tourist destination of Phuket. The park is surrounded by green mountains with abundant and protected wildlife. Programme to Khao Sok National Park will give you the opportunity to view lakes, waterfalls and jungle life, literally in the middle of nowhere.
Many species of birds live within the park. It is possible to site up to 7 species of Kingfishers and resident Hornbills on a daily basis. Various monkeys including Gibbons and long tailed Macagues also make appearances throughout the day. Elephants and Tigers do reside in Kao Sok and occasionally make a "guest" appearance.
Khao Sok National Park, located on the huge Rajaprabha Dam, is host to many species of bird and animal life. Only 3 hours north of Phuket, Khao Sok is accessible throughout the year. Rare and migratory birds can be viewed from the water in their natural forest habitats and around limestone karst cliffs.Bird List of Khao Sok
