Khao Sok National Park –One of the largest parks in Thailand is two and a half hours north of Phuket. Walking trails along the Sok River offer the possibility of seeing wild elephants and even tigers en route. Buses depart hourly from Phuket Town bus station, or take highway A2 north past Takuapa then east on highway 401.IN THE KNOW
Early morning in Phuket brings a sonorous symphony, not just of awakening bird song, but also of human sounds. You can hear the haunting song of the muezzin calling faithful Muslims to prayer, mixed with the chanting and bells of Buddhist monks. In many locations, temples and mosques are located close together, a reassuring testament to the religious tolerance and diversity of the region.
