Fringed by palm trees, the Nang Thao Beach has everything a visitor is looking for. A canvas of lush trees, golden sands and a vast expanse of azure waters, the beach is a perfect blend of serenity and flamboyance. While the palm tree swings are perfect to sit and experience the gentle waves of the sea, the charming cafes and eateries on the beach will take care of the gastronomy. You can sip on a cocktail while viewing the beautiful sunset or take long walks along the soft sands while taking in the breathtaking sea views.

Khao Sok National Park is a 739-square-kilometer (285.3 square mile) national park that is home to ancient rainforests dating back millions of years. Sensational natural limestone structures rise out of aquamarine lagoons, and waterfalls thunder through lush forest in every shade of green as sunlight filters through the dense foliage. During the monsoon season, the jungle comes alive with wildlife, teeming with indigenous animals like wild elephants, gibbons and boars; even as brightly colored sunbirds flit and Great Hornbills swoop. The park is most famous for the rare Rafflesia flower, the world's largest flower that can grow up to 80 centimeters (31.4 inches) in diameter. Wildlife and outdoor enthusiasts add Khao Sok to their itinerary for the spectacular nature watching, elephant trekking, canoeing and boat tours.
