Eve trip. Hiking in search of "lotus popping."

Close by home, but it's our first time.

Besides, Khao Sak National Park has been continuously closed, renovated and developed. Khao Sak National Park has now been officially open to tourists from December 1, 2025, at the Km 111 Lotus Nature Study Trail.

Approximately 7 kilos round-trip distance

In case anyone is interested, 🌸 "lotus flower" is the largest flower in the world, blooming in the horns!!

It is called the largest flower in the world, which is blooming beautifully during this time.

🌸 lotus popping, or the scientific name Rafflesia kerrii, is a rare and very special parasitic plant. The popping lotus is up to 50-90 centimeters in diameter, weighs about 7-10 kilograms, characterized by deep red petals adorning white spots, and smells like rotten carrion to attract flies to help pollinate.

The amazing thing is that it takes about 9-12 months to grow from flower buds to full bloom, but it only lasts for 2-3 days, after which it starts to sprinkle and rot within 3-4 days, making seeing a full bloom of lotus flowers a rare opportunity.

⏳ the most appropriate time to see lotus flowers in Khao Sak National Park is between October and January, the late rainy season and early winter. Lotus flowers often appear in the wetlands of the park.

If you are interested, you can contact us for more information and check the condition of lotus flowers before you travel to Khao Sak National Park. Because lotus flowers bloom intermittently and have a short bloom period, contact us in advance will help you not miss this precious opportunity.
