Most visitors think the rainforest goes to sleep after sunset.

The truth is—it comes alive.

As darkness falls over Khao Sok National Park, an entirely different world begins to emerge.

A Different Rainforest

During the day, birds dominate the forest.

At night, nocturnal animals take over.

With the help of an experienced guide, you’ll search for fascinating wildlife hidden beneath the canopy.

Animals You May Encounter

Every night safari is different, with opportunities to encounter tree frogs, tarantulas, slow lorises, civets, and many other nocturnal species.

Every night is different, but common sightings include:

* Sleeping birds

* Tree frogs

* Stick insects

* Tarantulas

* Scorpions

* Civets

* Slow lorises

* Snakes (occasionally)

The excitement comes from never knowing what you’ll discover.
