Notes from our team

Who it suits: This park suits families who enjoy watching wildlife and don't need lots of comforts. Barking deer come out to graze in the morning and at night, but you really need your own car — both to get here and to get around inside the park.
Quiet & crowds: There are two campsites. The first gets packed because its view is slightly better, while the second has far fewer people but still a good view. For more privacy, pick the second one — though expect to hear golden jackals calling through much of the night.
Pets & families: Families with young kids will enjoy watching the deer on the grasslands in the morning. Cooking is allowed at the second campsite, handy for family meals — but the restaurant and snack shop close at 4 pm, so if you're arriving late, buy your supplies before entering the park.

อากาศเย็นสบาย วิวหมอกบางๆ ตอนเช้า กลางคืนมีสัตว์พวกเก้ง กวาง ออกมาให้ชม แนะนำช่วงเช้าให้เดินทางไปชมวิวที่จุดชมวิวศาลาดุสิตา
