The island of Phuket is blessed with stunning natural landscapes which are not just limited to its beaches. A case in point would be the Khao Phra Taew Wildlife Park and exploring this site is one of the most exciting things to do in Phuket for nature lovers. Before heading to this well known park, it is best to base yourself at a boutique hotel in Phuket such as Thanyapura which offers a wealth of wellness treatments that provide holistic healing during your stay. Once you have settled in plan your trip to Khao Phra Taew Wildlife Park where you can get happily “lost” amidst the thick virgin forests. Spanning an area of around 22 square kilometres, this protected area has trails that take you on an unforgettable tour amidst giant trees and the sounds of the wild. The Khao Phra Taew Wildlife Park is also home to fascinating wildlife though they are wary of visitors and may not be easily spotted. Lesser mouse deer, wild boar, gibbons, butterflies and a large variety of bird species are among the fauna that inhabit the forest.
