Come and visit Kosamphi Forest Park
This small but beautiful place, the Kosamphi Forest Park, is close to Khon Kaen, but you have to rent a car, because it is a half-day excursion without public transport.
I was looking forward to going to be surrounded by wild animals, in a controlled environment, and not too far from civilization.
One thinks of this country, that there are numerous places to observe animals in their natural state, not in a Zoo.
A bit of an adventure, and also close to Khon Kaen, where I was staying for a couple of days before continuing on to Laos.
My experience
Far from the clichés of tourist sites, with hardly any people and certainly no tourists, I arrived at this place.
Bordered by a beautiful river, once I park the car, I walk along a cobblestone path surrounded by groves of trees that make you feel like you're in the jungle, despite the "humanized" path.
The smells and noises distract my senses. But I don't see any macaques. Except for the ones I saw in the parking lot. I prefer to follow the trail and stay on it.
Finally, I come to a clearing next to a pond, filled with animals jumping from tree to tree, and others grooming each other.
Families looking out for each other. I walk carefully so as not to disturb or make a fuss. A bridge, or rather a footbridge, catches my attention, which I cross with two macaques who are also crossing the tension cables.
I relax a little, thinking that the animals already know that I'm with them and that I'm not going to bother them, I take some photos because it just rained and everything green is shining and beautiful.
Return to civilization
I leave this park, walking slowly back to my car, thoughtful about the space in which we humans are slowly taking over other animals, now almost confined to a tourist attraction.
I recommend that if you are in Khon Kaen or passing through the area, you take a moment to visit this peaceful place full of wildlife.
