Morning light cuts through towering dipterocarp and teak as the minibus winds away from Krabi’s coastline and inland toward Khao Sok. By mid-morning you step beneath a vaulted canopy where humidity hangs like a soft promise and the river’s current seems to be pulling the forest’s stories downstream. A hilltop temple visit breaks the journey with a wide-angle view of karst towers and patchwork rice paddies; then it’s a short trek into some of the oldest evergreen rainforest on Earth.
