Khao Sok is a rainforest that’s partly evergreen and partly tropical, with a great diversity of plants and wildlife. It is one of the few bigger national parks in the country that’s relatively easily to access by public services from nearby Phuket, Krabi, Khao Lak, Surat Thani and Ao Nang (Railey Beach). The main attractions of the park are iconic limestone hills, waterfalls accessible by hiking through the lush jungle, raft houses spread over Khao Sok lake, caves, and the popular Sok River.
