Our first destination in the south of Thailand was Phato, Chumphon province. There is a nice river surrounded by small hills with evergreen rainforest.
Next destination was the coastline of Ranong province, there are a nice mountain range with evergreen forest. We stay there on the top of a hill about 550 meter high.
Then we drive to Nakhon Si Thammarat province and found there near Ron Phibun a very nice mountain range with an amazing tree fern forest about 900 meter high.
Another place also in Nakhon Si Thammarat province was Nopphitam. These is a lowland place with very nice evergreen rain forest and there I get a female of Archaeoattacus staudingeri a new recorded Saturniidae moth for Thailand.
Then we drive along the eastern coastline back to the north and stay on a hill near Khanom in Surat Thani province.
The next destination was Khao Sok in Surat Thani province and we stay there for one night in a limestone quarry. Some villager cut a palm tree to get some beetle larvae as food.
