Amidst the myriad of attractions found in the exotic nation of Thailand, there stands a beautiful National Park; a park that is home to nature at its finest with its elevated hills that overlook the ocean. In a nutshell this park is paradise. So while holidaying in Thailand make a visit to Than Bok Khorani and let nature nurture you for a good whole day.
Than Bok Khorani is actually a rainforest that is located in the heart of a valley amidst tall mountains. It boasts lush trees, chirping birds and a long stream. The source of this spectacular stream is Ao Mai Dam Mountain and the Nam Phut Cave. At one time wild elephants roamed this area but with the colonization of people, everything disappeared and only this stream remained, standing strong against the harshness of time.
Throughout Than Bok Khorani a number of forest areas are found. The site is also famed for its large mangrove forest, waterfall, prehistoric paintings, caves and the adjoining beach and ocean. The 23 smaller islands nearby and the unique limestone island are all actually part of the park. All these areas can easily be explored by boat. There are two predominate seasons in the National Park. One is the wet season and the other is the dry season. From April till December every year it pours at Than Bok Khorani. Schedule your visit during the dry months, for that is when you can truly relish the beauty of this park and enjoy the many plants and animals found here.
While holidaying in this part of the world a good place to stay at would be Anantara Sikao Thailand Resort & Spa. It is one of the best Krabi resorts and makes an ideal base from which to set out on your excursions.
