Der Khao Sok Nationalpark befindet sich im Sueden Thailands. Das Wandern im tropischen Regenwald war sehr anstrengend, nicht nur wegen der hohen Feuchtigkeit und der grossen Hitze, auch wegen den Blutegeln, die den Weg saeumen. Die Biester saugen sich am Schuh fest und klettern langsam hoch, bis sie eine freie Stelle finden, wo sie dann andocken. Zum Glueck hatte uns nur einer erwischt. Ansonsten beherrbergt der Park auch Elefanten, Wildkatzen, Baeren, Affen und dutzende Arten von Voegeln. Da wir jedoch nur ein Tag hier verbrachten, haben wir nur einen kleinen Ausschnitt des ganzen Parks gesehen.
The Khao Sok National Park is in the south of Thailand. Hiking in the tropical rainforest is pretty exhausting, not only because of the great humidity and heat, but also because of the dozens of leeches who waited for us on the way. These beasts attach themselves to the shoe and climb upwards until they find a free spot to dock on. Fortunately we got only one. However, the park is also home to elefants, wild cats, bears, monkeys and various types of birds. Since we just stayed here for one day we saw just a little frame of the whole park.
