The Thung Tieo - Sra Morakot Nature Trail.
The second nature trail, namely 'Thung Tieo-Sa Morakot', is 1,400 meters long. It is a narrow forest walkway full of nature at it best. It is the most popular guiding route because there are a lot of things to see and to do.
Some parts of the trail challenge visitors by walking along a wood-stump walkway.
Visitors may have to slip through hanging rope-like stem vines from time to time along the trail.
Quite often hikers have to walk carefully keeping themselves away from thorny palm trees. One of the most common palms in the area is the Salacca (Thai name - Rakam). It has vicious spines and tasty sour plum-sized fruits which are collected by local people during April to July. They are also eaten by many animals.
A number of large Dipterocarpus trees known as Ton Yang have blackened holes cut out of their trunks. Local people tap this kind of tree for their resin or creosote, dark-brown oily tar. Creosote is used for caulking wooden boats and used for certain varnishes. To collect this tar the villager has to make a hole in the tree trunk and a fire is lit inside to stimulate the resin flow. After a few minutes, the fire is put out and the hole covered with a palm leaf. The collector returns in two or three days to collect the accumulated oily resin. One slot should be dug in the tree and burning can be done once a month, otherwise the tree may die.
Wild tree lizards are commonly found in this forest. Their color looks similar to the tree bark, thus the visitors who do not take look carefully may miss them.
