I spent a few days in the beautiful area of Khao Sok, hiking in the national park and taking an overnight tour to Chiew Lan Lake. Despite being a fairly popular destination in southern Thailand, both the park and lake are secluded and relatively untouched. I saw a lot of flying lizards, monkeys, and more geckos than I could count!
I was a little bit disappointed in the hike through the national park and the waterfalls marked on the map. Perhaps it’s because it was dry season, but I really didn’t see any waterfalls even worth taking a photo off. It was still a peaceful hike, though.
