Thailand’s first Nature Protection Training Center has been opened since 10th October 2004, located in Khao Yai National Park. Khao Yai is a popular national park among nature lovers and takes around two and a half hours from Bangkok by car.
Thailand’s first national park, Khao Yai covers an area of 2,168 square kilometers in four provinces: Prachin Buri, Nakhon Ratchasima, Nakhon Nayok, and Saraburi. It was officially declared a national park on 18 September 1962.
Vegetation is highly diverse, with around 2,000-2,500 plant species. About 60 types of mammals and 300 bird species have been recorded in this national park.
Due to the distance of travel an early morning pick up at your hotel is required. During this trip we will also see many birds and butterflies and hopefully some other larger wildlife as well. The sound of the gibbons is unique and breathtaking and to hear this in the morning is a fantastic experience.
The area at Khao Yai national park is gorgeous and one of the natural highlights here is the beautiful waterfall Haew Narok, where you can relax. When we arrive at the park, we will take you to the visitor's center where information is available about Khao Yai's nature and wildlife. |
