OFF THE BEATEN TRACK: THE ROAD TO KHAO SOK RANGER STATION 1

VIDEO DESCRIPTION

 

 

In this video, we set off towards the lesser-visited area of Khao Tor Tao (เขาต่อเต่า), Khao Sok (เขาสก) National Park Ranger Station Unit 1, which lies somewhat hidden south of Ratchaprapha Dam (เขื่อนรัชชประภา) in Surat Thani (สุราษฎร์ธานี) and can be accessed via an asphalt road. We approach from the south, via Ban Ta Khun (บ้านตาขุน) Market in the district of Phanom (พนม), passing through residential areas before transitioning into rubber and oil palm plantations, continuing for approximately four to five kilometers from the main road. Along the way, we pass a few small shrines and a pig farm, where we stop to take a look. After this, we continue on the quiet road, with no people in sight as we venture deeper into the park. We follow a cliffside track and explore some shallow caves. The rest of the area we explore by car.
