A dramatic approach through an uphill alley of native trees, the extraordinarily steep 215-yard 16th requires a demanding, well-positioned tee shot to reach the green in one and make par. The 365-yard 1st hole plays down wind and provides fantastic views out over the rest of the course. The 377-yard 12th is unique with play from an elevated tee to a green with hidden bunker long.

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.

After a good rain, colorful caps pop up through the grass. On dead stumps, orange-red clumps overtake the bark. Under the leaves, colorful caps push them aside. On tree trunks, wavy ridges bulge out like shelves. All of these are the fruiting bodies of mushrooms and fungi. Everywhere we walk, mushrooms can be found. Mushrooms thrive in Khaosok everywhere.

INSECTS & ANIMALS Great Argus (Argusianus argus) in Khao Sok National Park The Great Argus is one of the most striking birds in Southeast Asia due to its impressive size and extravagant plumage. Males are known for their long tail feathers, which can reach up to 1.7 meters in length, and intricate eye-like patterns on their secondary wing feathers. Great Argus (Argusianus argus) in Khao Sok National Park Common Name: Great Argus Scientific Name: Argusianus argus Family: Phasianidae (pheasants) Description The Great Argus is one of the most striking birds in Southeast Asia due to its impressive size and extravagant plumage. Males are known for their long tail feathers, which can reach up to 1.7 meters in length, and intricate eye-like patterns on their secondary wing feathers. These birds display a rich brownish color with complex markings of black, white, and blue-gray. Male Features: The male has elongated tail feathers and vivid ocelli (eye spots) on its wings used during courtship displays to attract females. Female Features: Females are smaller and less ornate, with shorter tails and more subdued coloration, making them well camouflaged in the forest. Habitat The Great Argus inhabits the dense lowland rainforests of Southeast Asia, including Khao Sok National Park. It prefers areas with thick undergrowth where it can forage for food and engage in courtship displays. Location in Khao Sok: Found in the deep forests, often near trails or undisturbed areas. Sightings are rare, as these birds are shy and elusive. Diet The Great Argus feeds on a variety of forest foods, including fruits, seeds, small invertebrates, and occasionally small animals. They forage on the forest floor, scratching through leaf litter to uncover food. Behavior Males are known for their elaborate courtship dance. They clear an area of the forest floor and perform an impressive display, fanning out their wings and tail to reveal the eye-like patterns while making a series of calls to attract females. Mating Ritual: The male’s display is one of the most spectacular bird performances, often taking place during the breeding season. Males may use the same display area for years. Flight: The Great Argus is not a strong flyer and prefers to stay on the ground, walking through the underbrush. Conservation Status Although the Great Argus is not currently endangered, habitat loss due to deforestation poses a threat to its population. The preservation of rainforests like those in Khao Sok is crucial to ensuring the survival of this species. Interesting Facts The species is named after Argus, a figure in Greek mythology who had 100 eyes, in reference to the "eye" patterns on the male’s wings. The male Great Argus has one of the most impressive and longest tails in the pheasant family. The Great Argus adds to the rich biodiversity of Khao Sok National Park, making it a sought-after species for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts alike. Previous Next

This rare phenomenon occurs in select areas, including Khao Sok National Park, thriving in its humid, biodiverse environment. General Characteristics Scientific Name: Mycena chlorophos . This species is one of the bioluminescent mushrooms, which naturally produce light due to the presence of luciferin. When luciferin reacts with oxygen in the environment, it produces a faint greenish glow. Size and Shape: Bioluminescent mushrooms are typically small, with cap sizes around 1-2 centimeters. They usually grow in clusters, with slender, elongated stems. Bioluminescence: These mushrooms emit a soft green glow in the dark, which attracts insects and small animals that help in the dispersal of spores.

In Thailand, these glow-in-the-dark mushrooms can be found in certain areas of Khao Sok National Park, which is known for its rich biodiversity. Ecological Role Bioluminescent mushrooms play a vital role as decomposers in the ecosystem. They help break down organic material in the forest, facilitating the recycling of nutrients in the soil. Additionally, the light they emit may attract insects and small animals, aiding in the dispersion of their spores. Significance and Conservation The glow-in-the-dark mushroom is of significant interest to both tourists and scientists due to its rarity and unique bioluminescent property. Conservation of the humid evergreen forests where these mushrooms thrive is crucial to maintaining Thailand's rich biodiversity.
