Thailand is famous the world over for the beauty that Nature has lavished on it, forest mountains and lush valleys, beautiful beaches and island, a plentiful array of plants and wildlife, including many rare species unique to the Kingdom.
Plants are plenty. Deciduous trees shed their leaves during the six-month dry season in the North. On high hills and tablelands, forests of pine and maple are common. Evergreen rainforests in the South range from freshwater swamp forests to thick foliage clinging to kharst outcroppings. Thailand’s natural blessings include an amazing array of fruit trees, bamboo, tropical hardwoods, and about 10,000 species of flowers including the national symbol, the orchid.
Animal life has adapted in various ways to the diverse climate and terrain of Thailand. The wildlife of the North is mostly Indochinese in origin. In the South it resembles that of Malaysia and Indonesia. In Thailand’s national parks and wildlife sanctuaries are many hundred species of mammals: tiger, leopards, bears, civets, tapirs, elephants, deer, monkeys.
The remarkable diversity of Thailand’s flora & fauna is now preserved in 102 national parks (81 land & 21 marine), 57 wildlife sanctuaries, and 55 non-hunting areas. Most of national parks are accessible by road, charge a modest admission fee and offer simple accommodation. The park system provides a visitor with easy access to the full array of Thailand’s wonders, from the northern mountain pine forests of Doi Inthanon to the dense southern rainforest of Khao Soke, and Thale Ban National Park in the border province of Satun, from the Phu Jong Nayoi forest on the Lao border in the Northeast to the dazzling coral of Ko Tarutao National Marine Park in the southwest.
Khao Yai is a popular national park and is considered one of the best management parks in the world. It’s easily for everyone to see herds of wild elephants and barking deer there.
Kang Krachan is Thailand’s largest park where the wildlife is abundant, such as tigers, elephants, boars, wild cattle, gibbons, hornbills, barking deer, and the Asiatic black bear. It’s also a good place for birdwatching.
Doi Inthanon, Thailand’s tallest mountain, although small, is the most popular park in northern Thailand, and close to Chiang Mai. This cool, rain-drenched peak supports a profusion of orchids and about 400 bird species.
Over the past two decades, a sophisticated travel industry has evolved to meet the international desire to explore Thailand’s natural beauty. Seeing flora & fauna should you contact qualified tour operators and TEATA is your gateway.
