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.

Khao Sok National Park is a treasure trove of biodiversity, home to a fascinating array of wildlife, including the remarkable flying lizards. These unique reptiles, known scientifically as Draco, are a wonder of the animal kingdom, captivating visitors with their extraordinary ability to glide between trees. The Fascinating Flying Lizards: Species: The most commonly encountered flying lizard in Khao Sok is the Draco volans, often referred to as the common flying dragon. These lizards are small, typically around 20-25 centimeters in length, including their long, slender tail. Appearance: Flying lizards have a distinctive appearance, with elongated ribs that support flaps of skin on either side of their body. When extended, these flaps form wing-like structures that allow the lizard to glide. Their coloration usually blends in with the forest, featuring shades of brown, green, and gray, with patterns that provide excellent camouflage. Gliding Ability: Flight Mechanism: Flying lizards don’t truly fly like birds; instead, they glide from tree to tree using their "wings." By spreading their ribs and skin flaps, they can launch themselves from a high point and glide for distances of up to 10 meters or more, steering with their tail and landing with precision on another tree trunk. Behavior: These lizards are diurnal and spend most of their time high in the trees. They are insectivores, feeding primarily on ants, termites, and small insects. They use their gliding ability to move efficiently through the forest in search of food and to escape predators. Habitat and Conservation: Habitat: Flying lizards thrive in the dense, humid rainforests of Khao Sok, where the tall trees and rich biodiversity provide an ideal environment. The forest’s complex structure offers the perfect setting for these lizards to exhibit their gliding skills. Conservation: While flying lizards are not currently considered endangered, their habitat is crucial for their survival. Khao Sok National Park plays a vital role in protecting these unique creatures by preserving the rainforest ecosystem they depend on. An Unforgettable Encounter: Spotting a flying lizard in Khao Sok is a thrilling experience. As you explore the forest, keep an eye on the tree trunks and branches above—if you’re lucky, you might witness one of these fascinating reptiles launching into the air, gliding gracefully to its next perch. Whether you’re trekking through the jungle or enjoying a peaceful boat ride, the chance to see a flying lizard in its natural habitat adds an extra layer of excitement to your visit. Come to Khao Sok National Park and discover the wonders of its flying lizards, where nature’s ingenuity is on full display in one of Thailand’s most beautiful and biodiverse landscapes.

INSECTS & ANIMALS The Asian Forest Scorpion A species of scorpion commonly found in the tropical and subtropical forests of Southeast Asia, including Thailand. These scorpions are known for their large size, with adults typically reaching up to 10-12 cm in length. Their bodies are robust and dark, usually black or dark brown, which helps them blend into the forest floor where they often hide under logs, rocks, or leaf litter during the day. Despite their intimidating appearance, Asian Forest Scorpions are not highly venomous. Their sting is painful but usually not dangerous to humans, similar to a bee sting. They rely more on their strong pincers (pedipalps) to capture and subdue prey, which includes insects, spiders, and small vertebrates. These scorpions are nocturnal and come out at night to hunt. They are solitary creatures, and their diet consists mainly of insects and small invertebrates. In the wild, they play a crucial role in the ecosystem by controlling insect populations. Asian Forest Scorpions are sometimes kept as exotic pets, but they require specific environmental conditions that mimic their natural habitat, such as high humidity and plenty of hiding spots. While they are not typically aggressive, they will defend themselves if threatened. In Khao Sok National Park, visitors might encounter these fascinating creatures during night hikes, offering a glimpse into the nocturnal world of the rainforest. Previous Next

INSECTS & ANIMALS Gibbons Khao Sok National Park is home to a diverse range of wildlife, and among the most fascinating and charismatic inhabitants are the gibbons. These agile primates are known for their impressive acrobatics, melodious calls, and critical role in the park’s ecosystem Species: The most commonly found gibbon species in Khao Sok is the White-handed Gibbon (Hylobates lar). They are easily recognized by their long arms, which they use to brachiate (swing) through the trees with incredible speed and agility. White-handed Gibbons have a distinctive white ring of fur around their faces and white fur on their hands and feet, contrasting with their otherwise dark fur. Behavior: Gibbons are highly territorial and monogamous, typically living in small family groups consisting of a mating pair and their offspring. They are diurnal, meaning they are most active during the day, particularly in the early morning when their calls can be heard echoing through the forest. These calls serve as a way to mark territory and communicate with other gibbons. Habitat: Gibbons in Khao Sok National Park are primarily found in the park’s dense, primary rainforest. They prefer the upper canopy, where they can move freely from tree to tree. Their diet mainly consists of fruits, leaves, and insects, which are abundant in the rich biodiversity of the park’s forests. Conservation Status: The White-handed Gibbon is classified as Endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), mainly due to habitat loss and fragmentation caused by deforestation. Khao Sok National Park plays a crucial role in the conservation of these gibbons by providing a protected environment where they can thrive. However, continued efforts are needed to ensure their long-term survival. Best Time to See Gibbons: The best time to spot or hear gibbons in Khao Sok National Park is early in the morning, shortly after sunrise. This is when they are most vocal and active, often seen swinging through the trees in search of food. Guided treks in the park often focus on these early hours to increase the chances of encountering these elusive primates. Gibbon Calls: One of the most enchanting experiences in Khao Sok is listening to the calls of the gibbons. Their songs can travel for up to two kilometers through the dense forest. These vocalizations are not only a beautiful part of the forest's soundscape but also an important communication tool for gibbons, helping them maintain territories and strengthen bonds within their family groups. Conservation Efforts: Khao Sok National Park is involved in various conservation efforts to protect gibbons and their habitat. These include anti-poaching patrols, habitat restoration, and environmental education programs aimed at raising awareness about the importance of preserving these unique primates and their environment. Visitor Experience: Visitors to Khao Sok National Park can join guided jungle treks that focus on wildlife spotting, including gibbons. The experience of watching gibbons in their natural habitat, swinging effortlessly through the treetops and hearing their calls, is truly unforgettable and highlights the rich biodiversity that makes Khao Sok a special place. Conclusion: Gibbons are a vital part of Khao Sok National Park’s ecosystem, offering visitors a glimpse into the complex and beautiful world of the rainforest. Protecting these incredible primates and their habitat is essential for preserving the natural heritage of Thailand and ensuring that future generations can continue to enjoy the sights and sounds of these magnificent creatures.
