May doesn’t announce itself loudly, but if you pay attention, it quietly holds some of the most urgent reminders on the calendar — from the hum of pollinators keeping our food systems alive, to the ancient patience of turtles that have outlasted extinctions, to the unsung scientists still busy naming the living world before it disappears.
Step outside at dusk in Khao Lak and you will hear it instantly: a rising, pulsing chorus pouring out of the trees. That sound belongs to the cicada, one of southern Thailand’s most fascinating and overlooked creatures. From the garden of Khaolak Merlin Resort to the deep rainforests of Phang Nga, these remarkable insects have been singing the same songs for millions of years. But there is far more to them than noise.
Taxonomy is the science of naming and classifying living organisms. It helps us understand biodiversity, identify species, and reveal how life on Earth is connected through evolution.
Epiphytes grow on trees and rely on rain and humidity. In Khao Lak, many species survive the dry season by storing water, slowing growth, and flowering beautifully.
Some insects look like leaves. Some spiders look dangerous. This is how insect and spider camouflage and clever illusions help them survive in the wild.
