Khao Sok Milli Parkı
Khao Sok is a large national park in southern Thailand, with thick rainforest, steep limestone cliffs and a huge reservoir called Cheow Lan Lake. Rivers, caves and waterfalls cut through the forest, and wildlife includes monkeys and many birds.
Most visitors spend one to three nights, often combining a jungle stay with a lake trip. The park sits roughly between the Andaman coast and the Gulf islands, so it is easy to add to a beach holiday.

Ne zaman gidilmeli
The park is green all year. The drier months from about December to April are the easiest for hiking and lake trips, with clearer skies and lower rivers.
The rainy season brings heavy showers, muddy trails and high water. Some paths and cave visits can close, but the forest is lush and quieter.
