How can I best capture the local wildlife while photographing in Khao Lak?

Khao Lak is a wildlife photographer's dream. To capture the local wildlife, consider visiting Khao Sok National Park, where you can photograph exotic birds and possibly spot gibbons in the trees.

• Early morning is the best time for wildlife photography as animals are more active. Bring a telephoto lens to get those close-up shots without disturbing the animals.

• The mangroves around the coast also provide a habitat for many species; kayaking through them can give you unique angles for your wildlife photos.
