Khao Sok weather – All times of year have advantages.

During the rainy season we will experience downpours on a near daily basis. However they are usually for a short duration occurring in early to late afternoon.

There are some huge advantages to all this lovely water. It nourished the forests and valleys and fills the rivers and lakes. This is great for all the water activities such as canoeing and river tubing. The divers forest trees, flowers and other shrubs and plants flourish in the rainy season. This leaves the whole area carpeted in a multi hewed green blanket. Very restful, relaxing and an awesome experience. The rain cleans the air, the roads, the paths and the rivers and streams.
