Khao Sok rain forest is settled in the province of Surat Thani which is just a few hours drive from the favorite traveler destination in Thailand called Phuket. Khao Sok's rainforest is one of the few untouched rainforests in the world, it's even more diverse than the Amazon Rainforest. With lush green vegetation and a collection of spectacular wildlife I am surprised that most people who visit Thailand have never heard of it. It is maybe most illustrious for the Bua Phut (Rafflesia kerrii) flower which grows within the rainforest and blooms once a year. If you are a plant enthusiast Khao Sok is a great place to visit.
Some brilliant hotels there where you can stay in a treehouse and actually get closer to nature.

If your a real adventurous type, you can even go camping in the rainforest with an experienced guide who will teach you how to survive in the jungle. Going on your own or with new guides in not advised.
When people talk about Thailand they talk about the wild nightlife, great shopping or the gorgeous beaches, but Khao Sok offers a once in a lifetime experience. Why not get close to nature and visit the rainforest in the national park. I can tell you that having a great touch in the jungle with nature will be best than any nightlife, or beach experience, especially in this rainforest.
This is a place the you should visit if you ever do go to Thailand, believe me it will be one of the most unforgettable experiences you will ever have. I was there in March 2010 and didn't think it would actually whatever much as I am not actually into nature or the outdoors, but this trip has changed my mind forever.
