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.

FORESTS AND PLANT SPECIES Ecological Importance and Conservation Khao Sok National Park is crucial for the conservation of rare plant species and wildlife, as well as maintaining the biodiversity of Thailand. Conservation of forests and vegetation within the park is vital for preserving ecological balance and preventing the extinction of important plant species, which are significant to both local and global ecosystems. 1. Biodiversity Hotspot Khao Sok National Park is a significant biodiversity hotspot in Thailand, harboring an immense variety of plant and animal species, many of which are endemic or rare. The park’s diverse ecosystems, ranging from tropical rainforests to montane forests, provide critical habitats for species like the Malayan tapir, Asian elephant, and the rare Rafflesia flower. 2. Water Cycle Regulation The park plays a vital role in the region's hydrological cycle. The dense forest cover helps regulate the flow of rivers and streams, preventing floods during the rainy season and maintaining water availability during dry periods. The park's forests act as natural water reservoirs, essential for local communities and wildlife. 3. Climate Regulation Khao Sok's vast forests contribute significantly to carbon sequestration, helping to mitigate the impacts of climate change. The large trees, such as Dipterocarp species, absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, storing carbon in their biomass and releasing oxygen, thus maintaining air quality and contributing to global climate stability. 4. Soil Conservation The dense vegetation cover in Khao Sok helps prevent soil erosion, particularly in the steep mountainous areas. The root systems of trees and plants hold the soil in place, reducing the risk of landslides and maintaining soil fertility. This soil conservation is vital for sustaining the park’s lush vegetation and the livelihoods of communities that rely on agriculture in surrounding areas. 5. Habitat for Endangered Species Khao Sok is a refuge for several endangered species, including the Malayan sun bear, clouded leopard, and various species of hornbills. The park's protected status helps ensure that these species have a safe environment to thrive, away from threats such as poaching and habitat destruction. 6. Cultural and Economic Value The park is not only important for its ecological functions but also for its cultural and economic value. It supports eco-tourism, which provides income for local communities and funds for conservation efforts. The traditional knowledge of medicinal plants, still practiced by local communities, adds cultural significance to the park's biodiversity. 7. Conservation Efforts Conservation in Khao Sok focuses on protecting its unique ecosystems through various initiatives, including anti-poaching patrols, habitat restoration, and environmental education. The park authorities collaborate with local communities and NGOs to promote sustainable practices that benefit both people and nature. Community Involvement: Local communities are actively involved in conservation efforts, including reforestation projects and the sustainable use of natural resources. This community participation is essential for the long-term success of conservation strategies. Environmental Education: Programs aimed at educating both locals and tourists about the importance of biodiversity and conservation are integral to the park’s strategy. These initiatives help foster a sense of stewardship and encourage sustainable tourism practices. 8. Challenges and Future Directions Despite its protected status, Khao Sok faces ongoing challenges such as illegal logging, poaching, and the pressures of tourism. Addressing these challenges requires continuous efforts in law enforcement, habitat restoration, and the promotion of eco-friendly tourism. Future conservation efforts will focus on enhancing the resilience of the park's ecosystems in the face of climate change and human impact. Khao Sok National Park remains a critical area for conservation in Thailand, with its rich biodiversity and crucial ecological functions. Protecting this natural treasure ensures the survival of countless species and the continued provision of essential ecosystem services for future generations. Previous Next

INSECTS & ANIMALS Wild Elephants at Rajjaprabha Dam Discover the majestic wild elephants of Khao Sok National Park, one of Thailand's most treasured natural wonders. Nestled around the serene Rajjaprabha Dam (also known as Cheow Lan Lake), these gentle giants roam freely in their natural habitat, offering an unforgettable experience for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts. The Majesty of Wild Elephants: Size and Strength: These Asian elephants are smaller than their African counterparts, with males standing about 2.5-3 meters tall and weighing between 4,000-5,500 kilograms. Females are slightly smaller but equally impressive in stature and grace. Distinctive Features: Each elephant has a long, powerful trunk used for breathing, grasping, feeding, and drinking. Some elephants, particularly females, may not have tusks, adding to their unique charm. Lifespan: Wild elephants can live up to 60-70 years, contributing to the rich biodiversity of the region. A Unique Opportunity to Witness Natural Behavior: Social Creatures: Elephants are highly social animals, typically living in herds led by a matriarch. A herd may consist of 10-20 members, who traverse vast areas in search of food and water, creating a dynamic and fascinating spectacle for visitors. Diet and Feeding: These magnificent creatures feed on leaves, grasses, bark, fruits, and small plants, consuming up to 150-200 kilograms of food daily. Watching them forage and interact in their natural environment is a rare and captivating experience. Ideal Habitat: The lush, tropical rainforest surrounding Rajjaprabha Dam provides an ideal sanctuary for these elephants. The region’s diverse landscape and abundant water sources create a perfect setting for them to thrive. Ecological Importance: Elephants play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the forest ecosystem. By dispersing seeds through their dung and creating pathways in the dense forest, they support the growth of diverse plant species and provide access routes for other wildlife. A Call to Adventure: Experience the thrill of seeing these magnificent creatures up close in the wild at Khao Sok National Park. The park's commitment to conservation ensures that these elephants live freely and safely, making your visit both inspiring and impactful. Whether you're exploring by boat on the crystal-clear waters of Rajjaprabha Dam or trekking through the ancient rainforest, encountering wild elephants in their natural habitat is a memory that will stay with you forever.

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.
