Trip to Khao Sok National Park Package tour Khoasok Jungle Trekking Elephant safari tour
Day Trips, Package tours to Khao Sok National Park, Thailand
Khao Sok or Khaosok: It has been called the most beautiful National Park in the world and this is no idle boast. From the earliest Chinese dynasties to the present, painters have portrayed on parkchment, silk and palace walls the mythical images of the mist-shrouded karsts of Guilin in China's Guangxi province. The UNESCO World Heritage status awarded to Guilin has also been bestowed on Vietnam's Halong Bay and Thailand's Phang Nga Bay for much the same reasons. Both sites boast karst-studded topography with awe-inspiring island and ridges that climb vertically from 300 to 400 meters. Bold and beautiful as these internationally famous locations now are, there's a newcomer on the block. Khao Sok National Park that is making a name for itself as the boldest, most dramaticof all, Its karsts formation rise three times as high, to a staggering 960 merers, and boasts an abundance of wildlife.
Khao Sok, in Southern Thailand's Surathani Province, is just north of Phuket with 165 sqm. Artificial lake created in 1982 with the damming of the Pasaeng River, the largest watershed in the south of Thailand's. The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand reconized the huge hydroelectrice potential of this watershed about the same time Khao Sok National Park was created in 1980. The Thai army also had an interest in this area, but for very different reason. They were anxious to expel a group of 170 "communist" insurgents hiding in the nearly inaccessible recesses of Khao Sok' forests. Though branded with Cold War terminology as communists, these rebels were actually prodecmocracy students from Bankok's most prestigious universities. They had taken to the streets to protest a military dictatorship in Thailand at the time, but fled to the forest following a 1988 Bankok student massacre in fear for their lives. Flooding the valley that harbored these fugitives was seen as the fastest way of driving them out of hiding. It was also designed to create a huge resevoir.
For the all benefits the dam brought to south's energy-hungry market and the wonderful recreational corridor it opened to Khao Sok visitors, it was an unmitigated disastes for the park's wildlife Conservation Division had determine that no fewer than 237 wild animal species would be impacted by the dam development. The plan was to capture and relocate animals that would become trapped on the more than 100 islands created by the rising waters, and relocate them above the 100 meter elevation mark of the mainland shore. The rescue operation relocated 1,364 birds. mammals and reptiles. Wildlife rescure operations. unfortunately, do more to soothe our sense of guilt than serve or save wilflife. Many animals died from the stress and shock being captured and handled. Most "rescued" animals were relocated to ranges already overcrowded with refugee specie that had arrived there on their own in desperation. Thailand's leading conservationist, "Serb Nakasathien" led the wildlife rescue operation, but was so distraught by it that he later took his own life to bring attention to the plight of Thailand's wildlife. People too, were impacted by the rising waters. You would need to scuba dive with a bright underwater light to brobe for the five villages that once lined the banks of the Pasaeng River, but which now lie like somelagendary lost Atlantis at the bottom of Cheo Lan Reservoir. Tourists in Long tail boats racing across the lake surface are too spellbound by the breathtaking limestone landscape to give much thought to what lies beneath. There are complete communities here-homes, schools, health clinic and Buddhist temple where crematoriums and stupassill hold the ancestral ashes of the former inhabitants. All of the history, of course, is easily swept away as visitors from around the world set off by boat to explore what many are calling the most beautiful reservoir in the world. The panoramic landscape now enjoyed by all was only made possible by clear cut logging the low-lying valley lands-the richest wildlife habitat and flooding the valley with water 50 meters deep. Prior to the creation of the reservoir, a visitor to the region would have only rounding a bend in the Pasaeng River. Today's visitor by contrast has a jaw-dropping 360 degree panoramic view that a rival, if not surpasses, many of the most dramatic landscapes in the world. Tourist-bus day trippers now crowd the launching and landing facility recently built by the National Park Division to handle the sudden surge in visitors. The vast majority of sightseers' tou the lake aboard Thailand's ear-splitting long tail boats, but a few kayaking companies is start into offer quieter, more eco-friendly alternatives.
Visitours that choose package tour overnight on the reservior in one of the Khao Sok National Park's four floationg raft-house complexes, or at one of several new private facilities will see the landscape at its best during the magical light of evening and early morning. They'll also be present when wildlife is most active. A "dawn safari" by boat at first light is the best way to see hornbills, deer, macaque monkeys, gibbons, dusky and silver hangurs, fish seachlight to illuminate the shore can reveal tapir, wild elephant, barking deer, slow Loris civets and pythons swimming on the lake. Tiger leopard and other jungle cats. Thoughtrarelyseen, are also found in Khao Sok. Several hiking trails starting from climbs steebly to a lookout atop a towering limestone tower where climbers' are rewarded with a stunning wiew of the lake's many inlets. Another trail connects highway 401, on the southern boundary of the lake, with Tone dangerous to trekkers when wild elephant herds become overyly protective of their newborns. By far the most popular kike from the shore of the reservoir is the two-hours trek to and through Namtaloo cave. This route offers a real Indiana Jones adventure. But it made claimed the lives of eight tourist and guides who become trapped in the cave during a flash flood. The trail is now posted as dangerouse in the rainy season. There's huge potential at Khoasok for recreational rock climbing, parasailing and hot air ballooning to view the majestic landscapes from the air, but no one has yet capitalized on this.
Khao Sok National Park has been identified by the "Tourism Authority of Thailand" (TAT) as the top eco-tourism destination in the south of Thailand. Because the park boundaries are contiguous with two wildlife sanctuaries, Klong Nakha and Klong Saeng as well as two other National Park, Klong Phanom and Sri Phanga, it offers one of the largest protected areas for wildlife in Southeast Asia. This vast wilderness lies just south of the Isthus of Kra, the narrowest neck of the north and the sundaic realm to the south. From a biological standpoint, Khao Sok is a far more worthy candidate for UNESCO World heritage status than Guilin, Halong Bay or reservoir it does not qualify for UNESCO status.
Of course, as anyone who has ever beheld the majesty of this arificial lake and its crown of karst jewels can testify, it needs no titles or world boy recognition to inspire awe or to hold a place in the heart.
