From Pak Chong or Khao Yai: Khao Yai National Park Tour

Explore Khao Yai National Park on a small-group full-day tour with guided rainforest trek, waterfalls, and park tickets included.

Getting started

Begin your full-day tour with hotel pick-up in Pak Chong or Khao Yai and meet your expert English-speaking guide. After boarding the air-conditioned vehicle, your park entry to Khao Yai National Park is handled for you. Travel as part of a small-group tour format to the park entrance, where your guide outlines the day’s route and wildlife-watching focus.

What to expect

Khao Yai National Park

Thailand’s first national park, Khao Yai is known for its lush rainforest, waterfalls, and rich wildlife, all explored here in a structured full-day tour.

Features

• A guided 3–4 km rainforest trek takes you along jungle trails while you look for native wildlife, including monkeys, deer, and colourful birds, with time to observe how the ecosystem changes as you walk.
• Your expert English-speaking guide focuses on wildlife watching and points out signs of animal activity, helping you spot more than you likely would on your own.
• Khao Yai National Park entrance fees are included, so you simply follow your guide through the checkpoints without separate ticket purchases.
• Transportation by air-conditioned vehicle and hotel pick-up keep transfers straightforward, and a bottle of drinking water is provided so you have a drink on hand throughout the day.
• The small-group tour format allows the guide to adapt the pace on the rainforest trek and give wildlife-spotting tips to everyone.

Haew Suwat Waterfall

This well-known waterfall sits within the forested interior of Khao Yai National Park and is one of the key stops on your route.

Features

• At Haew Suwat Waterfall, which was featured in the film The Beach, you have time to view the cascades framed by dense rainforest and take photos from designated viewpoints.
• Your visit to Haew Suwat is part of the guided itinerary, so you do not need to arrange separate transport inside the park.

Haew Narok Waterfall

Haew Narok Waterfall is the park’s highest waterfall and another major focus of your day inside Khao Yai.

Features

• From the viewpoints near Haew Narok Waterfall, you can watch the water drop through a deep gorge and take in how the surrounding forest clings to the steep terrain.
• Time at Haew Narok is built into the guided itinerary, so your guide manages timing and access while you concentrate on the scenery.

Scenic mountain viewpoints

Across the driving route and short stops, you access elevated spots that open out across Khao Yai’s landscape.

Features

• Scenic mountain viewpoints along the way provide wide views over the park’s forested hills and valleys, giving a sense of Khao Yai’s scale beyond the rainforest trek and waterfalls.
• These viewpoints are integrated into the route, so you can step out of the air-conditioned vehicle briefly to take photos.
• Wildlife watching does not end with the trek, since these elevated stops can also be good places to scan for distant movement of deer or birds along the ridgelines.

Wrapping up

At the end of the full-day tour, your guide returns you by air-conditioned vehicle to your original area, with hotel drop-off following the same simple process as the morning pick-up. Lunch is not included, so any meals or snacks you choose during the day are at your own expense.
