テナセリム山地の滝・トップ19

A narrow path runs through here. Popular for night safaris.

You absolutely need a guide for this night safari.

Today we went on a night jungle trip in Khao Sok with our family. We were given a flashlight and a guide took care of us. It wasn't difficult. We only saw small animals - snakes, centipedes, spiders, monkeys and moths. But it was still very interesting. Tomorrow we will go on a day trek 😃👍🙋🏼

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.

Bang Hua Rat Waterfall, also known as Bang Hua Raet, is located in Khao Sok National Park in the Thai province of Surat Thani. About 3 kilometers from the visitor center, it is accessible via the Ton Kloi Waterfall Trail. This trail runs along the Sok River, offering impressive views of the park's diverse flora and fauna. The waterfall is characterized by its wide, curtain-like cascade that flows into a clear pool. This invites visitors to take a refreshing break and is a popular place to wade and relax. The area around Bang Hua Rat Waterfall is also popular for rafting activities, as the river rapids here are particularly suitable. The route to the waterfall can be reached on foot or by vehicle. Some visitors opt for a jungle trek as part of a day safari to more fully experience the natural beauty of the surroundings. It is recommended to wear sturdy shoes and bring enough water, as the trail can be challenging in places.
