Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

UNESCO World Heritage Site Khao Yai National Park is one of the oldest national parks in the country, where you’ll find all kinds of animals – from mammals and reptiles to birds and insects – in the area.

This scenic nature trail showcases diverse forest types, including mature dry forest, secondary forest, and grasslands. Tall banyan and java plum trees offer shade and attract wildlife, creating a natural "restaurant for wildlife." Visitors may encounter signs of elephants and gaur, spot hornbills nesting, or gibbons swinging through the canopy. The trail ends at Nong Phak Chi Observation Tower, providing excellent wildlife viewing opportunities.

Haew Suwat Waterfall (Pak Chong) is one of the park's most picturesque bodies of water, featuring cool cascades and lush scenery.
