hailand's pristine Khao Sok National Park
wilderness preservation sanctuary abounds with exciting
wildlife encounters: the sights and sounds of gibbon monkeys
bathing... the melodic chattering calls of vivid technicolor
hornbill parrots preening. The pervasive smells of tropical
floral blossom bouquets... strange exotic fauna... aromatic
flora, trees and roots. A dreamy romantic paradise,
deep in the mysterious misty jungle environment of legendary
Khao Sok.
 River
Roaming
Whilst on your canoe trip be sure to ask your canoe boatman
to linger for a brief respite, by the shaded mangrove riverbanks
of these hidden estuaries. Ask gently, and he'll retrieve
the delicate, unfamiliar fruits from the rainforest canopy,
and chuckle at your awkward peeling discovery of your ripe
sensory delight.
Panoramic Vistas
Landscape photo opportunities in abundance, here. Soaring
limestone escarpment karsts lean precariously at gravity-defying
angles not normally witnessed on planet earth. Towering
ominously above the welcome refresh of the cool waterfalls,
they provide shade and shelter, a sanctuary against the
tropical monsoon environment.
Unspoiled Neighborhood
The Khao Sok National Parkland nestles commodiously amongst
a backdrop of picturesque hazy valleys cultivated by friendly
rural farmers, punctuated by the enigmatic Bhuddist Temples
of this sleepy backwater of Southern Thailand. But please!
Don't tell ALL your friends!
Elephant Trekking
Take a leisurely stroll upon the back of a rocking Indian
elephant, lurching and rolling like a crazy drunken fairground
ride, pluck ripe rambutan as you pass beneath the boughs.
But hang on tight as these majestic old gentlemen of the
forests negotiate the slippery, rock-strewn streams, hurrying
onwards towards the refreshing waterfall pool for lunch,
urged on impatiently by their mysterious mahouts.
Rocky
Bath Time
The waterfall grotto suddenly appears as the stream widens
into a series of shallow pools in the stream's time-eroded
bedrock. A chance to pause and stretch out on the banks.
Take the plunge in a lighthearted water frolic and frame
photo snaps of your companions in the dark mineral pools
beneath the gentle waterfall showers.
'Home, James!'
Time to relax and reflect on your day of discovery as we
take a leisurely return trip back to Phuket Island on the
surprisingly well-maintained highways, tirelessly winding
our way through the bizarre landscape of Phang Nga Bay,
better known for the famous James Bond Island. Back
in the cocoon of your hotel room, you'll sleep well on the
night of your return, perhaps re-living your day's adventurous
ecotourism exploits of discovery in the enigmatic Khao Sok
National Park wilderness. Either way, you'll still have
the photos to prove it wasn't just a dream!
