A deep, dark jungle hugs the midsection of southern Thailand. This ancient rain-
forest is filled with long sweaty hiking routes up dramatic limestone formations that reward
with postcard-perfect views. Birds and bats call this forest home, as does the rare
Rafflesia
kerrii
, one of the stinkiest flowers on the planet. Reward all your outdoor work with river-
side camping and listen to the symphony of the jungle. Just remember to wear leech-proof
gear to prevent an involuntary blood donation.
