Itinerary
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.
Visit Lamtakong Campsite near Haew Suwat Waterfall and see deer wandering the grounds year-round—perfect for quick photos in nature.
Explore Haew Narok Waterfall, the tallest in Khao Yai. Take in sweeping jungle views after a scenic hike to this dramatic, multi-tiered cascade.
Transportation time between the different points of interest. Drop off at MBK Center for Small Group Tour.

Guide Angie was absolutely wonderful! She was knowledgeable about the area and had many facts to share about Thailand. She was accommodating to our family and consistently asked for our input. We saw gibbons, monkeys, deer, kimono dragons, and Chinese water dragons. Overall, a great experience.
Thank you so much for your 5-star review! We are thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience with us.
This was a fun trip. You spend quite some time in the bus from Bangkok, but it's worth it. Angie was a great guide, she spoke really good English, was funny and knowledgeable. If you want a one day escape from the city, I can recommend this trip to you.

We had an amazing time on this tour! Our tour guide, Phan, was so kind and was very eager to answer all of our questions and make sure we were all happy. She and the park ranger made sure to point out the many different animals and animal noises. While we didn't see a hornbill, we did see an elephant on the side of the road and some monkeys and deer! Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful time with Phan! She and the park ranger were so kind to us and eager to point out the different animals, animal noises, and waterfalls. Though we were only able to hear a hornbill, we were able to see an elephant from the side of the road! She also was so cute and bought us local curry puffs to try, which was delicious. Highly recommend!

Beautiful small group excursion, nothing to complain about. As ordered during my booking, I had a pick up at the hotel but I was not brought back despite it being written on tripadvisor to and from the hotel 😤. Very disappointed on this point.
We're so glad you enjoyed your tour with us! We appreciate your positive feedback and hope you'll visit us again soon.
It was nice to get away from Bangkok to explore the forest nearby. The locations are 2 waterfalls, a camping ground and a hike through the forest. The hiking was fun but the guide was moving very fast and her english was hard to understand at times. I also feel that the price is a little high given that lunch was not included. We saw deer, monkeys and various insects along the trail. Overall a good day out.
Appreciating your candid feedback, we're glad you enjoyed the scenic escapes from Bangkok and spotting wildlife on the trail. Our guide, Nong, usually receives high marks for her knowledge, but we take note of your comments on her pace and communication style to better support our guides. Thank you for helping us refine our tours to provide a more inclusive and enjoyable experience!
Cherry was an excellent guide and we had a great day out, with lots of animals to be seen - deer, monkeys, monitor lizards, so many butterflies - but the highlight was seeing a wild elephant. It truly was a magical experience
Thank you for your kind words and 5-star rating. We're so happy to hear that you had a great experience with us.
A great day. Sadly no elephants but a really enjoyable day. Ann our guide was great and knowledgeable about the wildlife
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re glad you had a great day overall, even if the elephants didn’t make an appearance this time. Wildlife can be unpredictable, but we’re happy to hear Ann’s knowledge and guidance made the experience enjoyable. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to see you again!
