4 day Khao Sok Safari Tour

Khao Sok National Park is located across a mountain ridge separating the east and west coasts of the Thai peninsula. Monsoon rains sweep into these mountains from the Gulf of Thailand in the east and The Andaman Sea in the west, making this Thailand's wettest area.

The richness of the tropical forest flora, the abundance of fresh water and the shelter of the mountains combine to provide an excellent habitat for many species of wildlife - including elephant, guar, banteng, binturong, languor (or leaf monkey), tiger, leopard, Malay sun bear, monkey, white-handed gibbon, porcupine, wild boar, snakes, lizards, bats, hundreds of different butterfly species and over 180 species of birds, including several kinds of hornbill.

There are guaranteed twice-weekly departures of this tour with English speaking guide on every Wednesday & Saturday, from Phuket.
