Tung
Tiao
This
is one of only a few lowland forests in Southern Thailand.
The nature trail begins about 800 meters before reaching
the Kao Nor Ju Ji Park Office within the Restricted Hunting
Area of Kao Pra-Bang Kram. It passes through both
secondary forest, now in the process of development and
growth and primary forest containing very large, ancient
trees. The trail climbs into the limestone foothills,
passing a pool of startling clarity and beauty. After
that it enters an area open and spacious before returning
to the park office. Many animals and plant species
in the lowland forest are extremely rare, some are close
to extinction. Of particular note is the colorful
Pitta Gurney bird, or nok taew laew tong dam in Thai, which
was long thought wiped out but has recently been re-discovered
living in Tung Tiao.
