Dry Evergreen Forest
The dry evergreen forest is what you see inside the park. This forest is a welcome escape especially if you travel from a country where the chilly environment is typical.
Beach Forest
This you can find in edges of large islands. A beach forest is home to species such as Terminalia catappa, Scaevola taccada, Calophyllum inophyllum, Thespesia populnea and Erythrina fusea. A fascinating plant you can find here is An Thong Lady’s Slipper Orchid. Plan a visit to this beach forest when you stay at a Koh Phangan resort which is located in close proximity, the likes of Anantara Rasananda Koh Phangan Villas.
Limestone Forest
If you notice a cliff face and low earth, then you are almost close to a limestone forest. This type of forests has a tough environment. Even the plants grown here are used to the tough surrounding.
Mangrove Forest
Where there is a sheltered area, you will naturally find a mangrove forest. Plants in mangrove forests have a large benefit as compared with other areas. These plants can easily absorb nitrates and phosphates, clean up and even restore water near the shore. Remember to approach Mae Ko Island and the eastern sphere of Phaluai Island. The highlight of the mangrove forest is that you find quite a lot of trees in different sizes.
