Thung Teao Forest |
|
This is one of only a few lowland
forests in Southern Thailand. The nature trail begins about
800 meters before reaching the Kao Nor Ju Ji Park Office within
the Restricted Hunting Area of Kao Pra-Bang Kram. It passes
through both secondary forest, now in the process of development
and growth and primary forest containing very large, ancient
trees. The trail climbs into the limestone foothills,
passing a pool of startling clarity and beauty. After that
it enters an area open and spacious before returning to the park
office. Many animals and plant species in the lowland forest
are extremely rare, some are close to extinction. Of
particular note is the colorful Pitta Gurney bird, or nok taew
laew tong dam in Thai, which was long thought wiped out but has
recently been re-discovered living in Tung Tiao. |
