The whole Bilauktaung is sparsely inhabited and covered with thick tropical rain forest. Usually the western mountainsides are more heavily forested than the eastern for they receive heavier monsoon rains.<ref>{{cite web |title=Infrared satellite image of Bangkok, Thailand |publisher=Science Photo Library |url=http://www.sciencephoto.com/media/182015/view |accessdate=9 Nov 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131109084854/http://www.sciencephoto.com/media/182015/view|archive-date=2013-11-09|url-status=dead}}</ref>
