Khao Luang National Park

The park encompasses 570 square kilometers of forested terrain, featuring four waterfalls and diverse ecosystems from tropical rainforest to bamboo thickets.

Established in December 1974, this protected area contains Khao Luang mountain, reaching 1,835 meters as the highest elevation point in Southern Thailand.

Local inhabitants maintain connections to the land through traditional practices while preserving stories about rare Rafflesia flowers growing within park boundaries.

Visitors can reach the park using dark-blue songthaews from Nakhon Si Thammarat town to Karom Waterfall for 30 baht per person.

The park houses the ancient Mahasadam fern species, which existed before dinosaurs, alongside 300 wild orchid varieties and numerous hornbill species.
