Night Safaris
As some animal species can only be spotted after dark, night river safaris are a pop-
ular way to see these unique creatures. Canoes or bamboo rafts are used to quietly
glide down the Sok river.
Tip:
Khao Sok can be visited on a day trip from Phuket, but it is better appreciated with more
time.
Tip:
Food options are limited inside the park, so bring a packed lunch if you have special needs.
Bua Phut
These gigantic red flowers, whose diameter can reach up to 35 inches (90
cm), are popular with visitors, although finding one in bloom often requires
good timing and the assistance of a local guide. Known scientifically as
Rafflesia kerrii
, the flowers are abundant during the winter, from January
to March, and have a pungent odor to attract flies for pollination. Be careful
around these flowers; the species is endangered.
