KHAO SOK NATIONAL PARK – SURATTHANI

Khao Sok national Park is one of the newer attractions for tourists in Thailand. It used to be a well-hidden place and only the Thai tourist would come here on their holidays. Slowly but gradually the foreign tourist gets the word and is now exploring this magnificent piece of nature.

The park has a total area of 738.74 square kilometers, which covers parts of the Khlong Yee and Khlong Pra Sang forests as well as portions of the Krai Son and the Khao Pung sub-districts in the district of Ban Ta Khun and the Khlong Sok and Panom sub districts in the province in Surat Thani, the ideal place when you are traveling through Thailand.

Within Khao Sok lies the largest artificial lake, the Chiao Lan (Ratchaprapha dam) with 165 square km, which is perfect for Cave Diving in Thailand for beginners and advanced cave divers.
