Wanting to experience nature at its finest, I was advised by a few friends that the Khao Sok Rainforest is one of the best places on the planet to experience nature and an abundant of wildlife. I would also be trekking through the most diverse Rainforest in the world which is in Thailand.
Khao Sok is only a few hours away from Phuket and is located in the Surat thani province in Southern Thailand. Khao Sok has some great resorts and a lot of the accommodation are tree houses. It just makes the experience that much better because it feels like you're even closer to nature.
I did a jungle trek for 2 days and one night through the Rainforest, the first day we saw some really amazing thing, a lot of birds, some really rare species and many that I have never ever seen before. I had a guide with me who took me through the jungle as it's not a place you want to go alone if you don't know the area well. My guide was really good as he could spot an animal that you could not see with your eyes, he knew where the animals were by looking at the tracks and movements in the bushes, he was amazing.
We camped in the jungle with a tent and you could hear the animals and birds, it was really great experienced to sleep with the animals. The next day we did some more trekking and even did some swimming and canoeing down the Khao Sok river. I don't think I have seen so many animals in the wild as I have seen in these 2 days than anywhere else in the world.
While trekking was a little tiring, it was well worth it. Some of the things I saw, the limestone mountains, the amazing birds, the plants plus so much more was a great experience that I will never forget. This is one of those places they you will want to and will come back to again. It is just that amazing and everyone should experience this amazing place once in their life.
