Khao Sok National Park covers an area of 739 km2, and together with three other neighboring reserves, the protected area reaches a respectable 3,500 km2. From a tourist perspective, the park is ideally located, easily accessible from both the popular Phuket and the eastern side of the Isthmus of Thailand, where the popular islands of Samui and Phangan lie.

Hiking

The name of this national park comes from the combination of Ban Sop, the house of dead bodies, but Khao Sok is full of life and breathtaking nature. It would have been enough for visitors to never know the beauty of the tropical jungle here. However, the local ecosystem was saved by disease and the turbulent events that Thailand went through in the mid-1970s. In 1944, an epidemic hit the Khao Sok area, killing a large part of the local population, the rest left and the landscape remained deserted.
