DESCRIPTION : The Rafflesia, (in Thai : bua phut) is the biggest flower in the world! And can be found in Khao Sok! When it blossoms, it measures 80cm in diameter. The flower only lasts 5 days. The flowers grows only when it’s raining during a couple of days. The flower has no roots or leaves of its own. There are many different areas where we can find this flower in the park. If it is the flowering season, we can take you by car to the park, and guide you through the jungle for about 5-10km, in search of these wonderful flowers! About Rafflesia Rafflesia is a parasitic plant with no leaves or roots on its own. It invades the liana vines and like a parasite, it absorbs all the vine's nutrients.Once a year small buds begin to develop beneath the root bark of the vine. As they mature, they swell, breaking through the bark, to the size of a football. They then burst open revealing the massive flower, which can be up to 80 cm. in diameter and is ocra, yellow, chesnut and white in colour. Flies pollinate Bua Phut, attracted by the sweet, slicky smell. A female flower is polinated oly by a male flower, and chances are reduced, not only by its rarity, but also because it only flowers for 3-4 days, then it shrivels and dies. Rafflesia is found in only countries on the Sunda shelf, namely Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. It get its name from Sir Stanford Raffles, who first found specimens of another species in Sabah, East Malaysia.

It plays a vital role in providing clean water to local communities and maintaining the ecosystem’s balance.

Flora and Fauna : The forest is home to a wide variety of plant species, including centuries-old trees, shrubs, vines, ferns, and mosses. Some rare plant species thrive in this humid environment. Wildlife in the watershed includes small mammals like monkeys and langurs, as well as numerous bird species. Rare birds such as hornbills and kingfishers are also commonly spotted in the area, making it a paradise for birdwatchers and nature lovers. Eco-Tourism Activities : Baan Nam Rad Watershed is a prime destination for eco-tourists seeking an immersive nature experience. Popular activities include nature hikes, exploring waterfall trails, and capturing the breathtaking scenery through photography. For adventure enthusiasts, river rafting is available during certain times of the year, offering an exciting way to explore the forest. Travel and Accessibility : Baan Nam Rad Watershed Forest is easily accessible from Surat Thani city, just a 1-2 hour drive away. Visitors can either drive themselves or rent a vehicle from the city. It is recommended to hire a local guide for trekking in the forest to ensure safety and gain valuable insights into the area’s flora and fauna. Visitor Guidelines : Respect nature by not picking plants or disturbing wildlife. Take all waste with you and avoid littering. Keep noise levels low to avoid disturbing the animals.

Offerings are made to the land spirits in gratitude. The Role of Elders and Storytelling Elders in the community are highly respected as they pass down knowledge about nature, survival, and spiritual practices.
