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.

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.

WATERFALL Sip Et Chan Waterfall Sip Et Chan Waterfall impresses with its eleven cascading tiers and dramatic scenery. A challenging hike leads to this majestic waterfall, rewarding adventurers with breathtaking views and the powerful sound of crashing water. Description: Sip Et Chan Waterfall, meaning "Eleven Levels," is one of the tallest and most impressive waterfalls in Khao Sok National Park. This waterfall is famous for its eleven cascading tiers, each creating a unique pool or plunge. The journey to Sip Et Chan is an adventure in itself, as the trail winds through dense jungle, crossing streams and offering stunning views of the surrounding mountains. Location: GPS Coordinates: 8.9203, 98.5478. Sip Et Chan Waterfall is located approximately 9 kilometers from the park headquarters, requiring a more challenging hike. Size and Flow: Sip Et Chan Waterfall is about 80 meters high, making it one of the tallest waterfalls in the park. The waterfall’s flow is strong, especially during the rainy season, creating powerful cascades and deep, clear pools at the base of each tier. The eleven levels of the waterfall are spread out over a considerable distance, with the final tier being the most dramatic. Surrounding Flora and Fauna: The trail to Sip Et Chan Waterfall is rich in biodiversity, with towering trees, thick underbrush, and a variety of tropical plants. The area is home to numerous species of birds, reptiles, and mammals, including monkeys and civets. The lush vegetation and the sound of cascading water create a magical atmosphere as you approach the waterfall. Best Time to Visit: The best time to visit Sip Et Chan Waterfall is during the rainy season, from May to November, when the waterfall is at its fullest and most powerful. The dry season offers easier access but with a less dramatic flow. Things to Bring: Given the challenging nature of the hike, visitors should be well-prepared with sturdy hiking boots, plenty of water, snacks, and a first aid kit.
