The Khao Lak-Lamru National Park
The Khao Lak-Lamru National Park covers an area of 78,125 rai,
equivalent to 125 sq kilometres. The park was established in August 1991 and
is the 67th national park in Thailand.
Khao Lak - a microcosm of tropical wilderness and unspoiled
nature along a 30-km stretch of the Andaman coast overlooked and bypassed by
mainstream tourism, until recently, this ‘off-the-beaten track’
destination has been the best kept secret among a handful of predominantly
European world travellers in search of pristine nature and wide open spaces
far away from the crowds and nightlife.
The Khao Lak-Lamru National Park features hilly landscape
covered by lush evergreen forests consisting of moist hill evergreen forests,
coastal evergreen forests and beach forests.With the highest peak at 1,077
metres above sea level, the forested highlands of Khao Lak, Khao Lamru, Khao
Sangtong, Khao Maikaew and Khao Plaibangtoh are the source of several
important rivers such as the Phang-nga River, the Takuapa River and many other
streams or ‘klongs’.
Within the park, the park authorities have designated
special zones for ecotourism activities such as jungle-trekking, camping,
picnic areas, swimming, rafting, birdwatching and butterfly.
