Khao Yai (located less than 130 kilometres from Bangkok) is Thailand's first national park. This not only illustrates that the Thai placed great value on this nature reserve 60 years ago, they still do to this day. Although it is one of the largest national parks in the country, you have a pretty good chance of seeing wildlife in their natural habitat here. We are talking about elephants, deer and gibbons or other monkeys.

In about 3 hours, we drive to Khao Yai National Park, where you will start with a guided hike of a couple of hours. Our guides obviously know the area like the back of their hand. They know where you are most likely to see hornbills, gibbons, macaques, reptiles or elephants. With a bit of luck, you will spot some animals. After this, it's time for an outdoor lunch.

After lunch, we take a look at the Haew Suwat waterfall. This is worthwhile because behind this curtain of water is a cave. There are beautiful vantage points at the top of the waterfall.

Before heading back to Bangkok, you'll take the minibus on an extra lap through areas where wild elephants may be seen.

With hopefully a few stunning photos on your camera, you will say goodbye to the guide and our driver will take you to your hotel in Bangkok, where you will arrive during the evening.

PLEASE NOTE: Wear long trousers and closed shoes today.
