One of the best wild area in Thailand with chances to see often wild animals. Poor to no accommodation, better come with car tent or camper. Bring your own food.
A hidden gem. Literally a cool zoo in the middle of nowhere.
Nice nature
1 star rating due to discrimination in the purchasing of tickets where foreigners are charged many more times the price Thais pay. By the way when they ask you how long you have lived in Thailand (and assuming you can speak Thai), answer over 10 years. That seems to get Thai price. My 3 years was not sufficient! Also it is a little strange that they do not allow tourists on scooters in but most of the staff inside the park are driving scooters... Anyway hitchhiking in and out was no problem, staff will assist. Very impressed with the trails in the park, particularly the dirt road that leads to a lake. Trail starts at 16°23'03.3"N 101°34'21.4"E and ends at 16°21'54.4"N 101°35'18.5"E - about 5km each way. On that trail I saw macaques, langurs, gibbons, deer and the white-winged duck this trail seems to be renowned for.
Beautiful place
