    Full description
    After hotel pick-up in the early hours, head to the first stop on the trek at the Kilometer 30 viewing point at Thanarat Road. Capture the scenery of the Northern part of Khao Yai National Park, great for photo opportunities. Trek onward to Kilometer 33, known as Nong Park Chi to the locals. Walk for around 2 hours, passing an observation tower and many different species of wildlife. There is a salt lick close to the tower to attract wildlife, along with a lake, open grassland and forest. Savor a traditional Thai lunch at a local restaurant. After lunch, head to the Khao Yai National Park Visitor Center in the park headquarters, a useful starting point for visitors with information and interpretive facilities to enhance your appreciation of the park. See exhibits on the natural environment and wildlife of Khao Yai, and get information about day hiking trails. Finally, stop at the splendid Haew Suwat Waterfall, with plenty of shady tree spots to sit under and many large rocks to lie down on and relax. This stunning waterfall was made famous in The Beach, but is unfortunately off limits to swim in. After your full day trekking in the forest, transfer back to Bangkok at approximately 6:00 PM.

    The park is about 3 hrs drive from Bangkok, so you will spend a significant amount of time in a van, however when you get there you will recognize it was worth it! I was lucky enough to be alone in my group, so I could spend lots of time talking to the guides, they also let us go slightly off track from time to time to be able to spot some gibbons. Amazing day!

    It even exceeded our expectations. One thing in advance: If you want to see elephants, black bears, etc., you should go to the zoo. In the wild, you are unlikely to encounter them. But you can see the traces of them, that they live there and we could hear some species. Breathtaking. There are also lots of beautiful colorful insects and butterflies that we don't have. And at the end you can definitely see some cheeky animals, let yourself be surprised :)

    highly recommended

    The driver was very attentive, picked us up at the hotel on time, accompanied us from station to station and brought us back safely through the somewhat stressful rush hour traffic in Bangkok. The hike was competently guided and well explained by a Thai woman (in English and Thai, my friend is Thai). The hike was not too short and not too long at 3 hours. But you shouldn't run around much longer in the heat. However, it is not quite as hot in the mountains. Good, worn shoes are recommended. My friend ended up with a few blisters - mistake: new shoes.
