Decent park with wild elephants and Deer I didn’t get to see elephants but I saw 3 deer and two monkeys better time to come is 5:30pm but before 6pm park closes to people entering. I will also suggest you bring your own transportation to get anywhere in the park that you want to see you will need a car or scooter
Khao Yai is a stunning destination with peaceful viewpoints, beautiful waterfalls, and excellent hiking trails for all levels. However, as an expat living and working in Thailand, the "dual pricing" is disappointing. Paying 10 times the local rate feels steep for residents with work permits. I hope the park considers a more inclusive entry fee for those of us who call Thailand home.
The largest National Park in Thailand is indeed so beautiful. An UNESCO world Heritage site, the park is rich in wildlife, flora & fauna, all types of birds, and beautiful scenaries! Being there in early January with the chilling weather adds to the excitement. Highly recommended!
The park itself is nice but it's clearly intend to go there by car! It seems that most tourist are Thai themselves and were aware, but we weren't. You can hitchhike up, or get a "taxi" (usually a ranger or employee from the park). They drove us up to the campground for 500 baht, which was also fine. They definitely are willing to help, and in the tourist center there usually was at least one person who spoke English (thankfully!). The hiking trails are a bit 'weird'. There are only three trails you can go by yourself and the others you need a guide/ranger who costs extra (we paid 500 for a one hour trail), however the trails seemed pretty normal and not dangerous. Unfortunately we didn't see any elefants, but some nice birds, squirrels and a lot of monkeys. I definitely recommend going here, it's really pretty and camping was fun but don't expect the closest nature/animal experience, and consider getting a car or motorbike. (it was 22km from the gate to the camping ground)
I was fortunate to visit Khao Yai multiple times. If you want to see some nature and wildlife, you can get both here. Cost: An adult foreigner will pay 400 THB (2025), access with a car will cost around 30 THB on top. For a one time trip I would recommend a guided tour. They will make sure that you will get the best experience. If you want to get around by yourself, take a car. The various locations are some kilometers away from each other, connected by a normal road. You can also stay inside the park overnight. There are multiple cabins (nothing fancy but totally acceptable) available and if you want to, you can also camp there. Tents can be rented. Although it is not really necessary I would recommend to use good footware, especially if you would like to walk some trails. For some of them it is recommended to have a guide, some you can walk by yourself. I would also recommend to get some sun screen and good bug repellent. Also wear long clothes, leeches are a thing during the rainy season. You can get special leech socks at the visitor center or you can put your pants into your socks. You will look a little bit silly but it is helping You can get some food at the visitor center or at the main waterfalls. Toilets are at every major location. With a bit of luck you can see wild elefants, mostly in the afternoon. In my experience the chances are better to see them in the "winter months" Common animals are deer, monkeys, monitors and all sorts of birds. In the evening you can have a chance to see wild dogs (nothing strays) and porcupine. If you can, bring so binoculars and a camera with a serious tele
