Morning light cuts through giant canopy leaves as the minivan slips off Phuket’s coast road and climbs toward Khao Sok’s cloud-touched ridgelines. By the time you step into the park, the air is thick with damp earth and the distant, ringing calls of hornbills — the rainforest seems to push forward around you, insisting you slow down and notice.
