Khao yai national park, private tour | 2-days wildlife tour in khao yai.

With a 2-day hiking in the jungle you'll see some of Khao Yai's highlights and very likely some exciting species like gibbons, macaques, hornbills, deers and with a bit luck maybe even elephants!

The 2-days tour in Khao Yai includes hiking in the jungle, daytime safari drives, a night safari drive and visiting some major highlights of the park like waterfalls and viewpoints. The jungle hiking will mainly focus on seeing as much of wildlife as possible but also include visiting some beautiful scenery of the park.

Our trips start and end daily at your hotel or other locations we agreed on.

The itinerary below is only an example. The program may change depending on your interests or how much time you spend on different locations.

Day 1 - From 8 - 8:30 am till about 8 - 9 pm

The first day tour starts with a slow drive along the main road into the park for wildlife observation, then hiking in the jungle.

After the lunch break we will visit Haew Narok which is the highest and most impressive waterfall of the park and also visit saltlicks and other areas where wild elephants tend to visit.

After the dinner tour continues with an exciting night safari using spotlights to spot nocturnal wildlife.

Day 2 - From 8 - 8:30 am till about 5 - 6 pm

We will spend the morning hiking in the jungle to find more interesting animals.

After the lunch break we will visit the other two important highlights of the park; Haew Suwat waterfall known from Leonardio Di Caprio's "The Beach" movie and a viewpoint with a great view over Khao Yai's jungle.

Later on in the afternoon the tour will end depending on the choice of a daytime safari along the roads for search of elephants or visiting the bat caves outside the park boundaries.

After the end of the tour you'll be returned to your hotel.

We had a very good experience doing this wildlife tour with our guide Ruang. I think it’s rly amazing and cool how knowledgeable he was about the diff wildlife, like he could identify the diff animals by their cries or tell us about how diff plants propagate - truly mad respect! We learnt a lot from our guide, and everything was very smooth and well planned :) thank you for the great experience!

The tour was brilliant and exceeded expectations. Our tour guide, M, was passionate about his job. He always knew where to spot animals and capture amazing photos via his telescope. Thanks again!

By: Brianna | posted Sat 30 Mar, 2024

Joom was an absolutely perfect guide! We saw so many things with her that we could have never seen ourselves. The addition of the telescope allowed for brilliant pictures and she was so keen for us to have an amazing experience. I fully recommend this tour, it was a truly wonderful time.

By: George and Lauren | posted Thu 28 Mar, 2024

We had an incredible tour, we saw many animals including 3 elephants, monkeys, gibbons, hornbills, snakes, scorpions, lizards and various species of birds. Our guide was brilliant with a huge amount of enthusiasm and knowledge. I would recommend the 2 day tour fully, it was brilliant and we got so much for the cost.

By: Carol Wolrich | posted Thu 21 Mar, 2024

Jum was a fantastic guide and made sure we had a fabulous 2 days. How she managed to spot even the smallest bird or snake as we drove along I don’t know! We saw gibbons, families of macaque monkeys, a rare leopard cat, porcupines, a civet cat, and many birds and lizards among other things. We had a wonderful time. Thank you.

Well organised private Trip into Thailands wildersness with a lot of wild animals.

By: Pamela Bergmann | posted Sun 18 Feb, 2024

We enjoyed an excellent two-day, private tour, with our guide, Alex, who was not only an excellent wildlife and bird spotter, but also an excellent driver. We especially appreciated that he never rushed any of our wildlife observations; thereby allowing us to observe their behaviors, including (to name a few) those of an Asian elephant, white-handed gibbons, Great Hornbills, an Oriental whip snake, buffy fish owls, and red-headed trogons. In contrast, our night tour with a park ranger, was a disappointment. Lastly only thirty minutes, they drove far too quickly for us to really appreciate the few sightings of sambar and barking deer. We were fortunate, at the end of the night tour, when we met back up with Alex, that we saw two guars. We would rate our time with Alex as a 5 and our time with the park ranger as a 2.

By: Kingsley So | posted Sat 10 Feb, 2024

Our tour guide M was very professional, fun and knowledgeable about all species of animals in the national park. He tailored the tour to our preference so that we were able to spend more time in the jungle searching for the animals we wanted to see, and knows exactly where to look for them. It took us some effort to find the white-handed gibbons but nonetheless we were able to see them in the jungle, thanks to M.

Can’t recommend the tour, and tour guide M more!

We enjoyed the tour and everything worked well, our guide Alex was great.

It would be great, if all plastic (e. g. straws and take away containers) would be banned from the National Parks.

1-day wildlife tour + night safari in Khao Yai national park

By:   Tontan Travel Wildlife Tours

Tour description in short

We offer two different day trips in Khao Yai. This is the 1-day tour with night safari , and the other day trip excludes the night safari and dinner.

On this tour you will go wildlife watching both during the day, and at night. The night safari consists of a drive with a spotlight to search for nocturnal animals, but during the day we will head out both on foot as well as by car, and stop at some scenic sites along the way.

Why our 1-day tour with night safari?

Even though we recommend our multiday tours over our day trips, this particular tour is the most you can get out of a day visit. Besides the diurnal species, the night safari increases the chance to encounter some nocturnal wildlife. Interesting and great fun!

Tour itinerary

Here follows the itinerary of our 1-day tour with night safari in Khao Yai national park . Note: Often enough, our itineraries get turned upside down. It is impossible to plan in nature; the wildlife does not follow timetables, therefore the following itinerary is just a rough example.

Day 1 (08:00 to ±20:30)

This day trip starts with a morning drive into the park. At the first viewpoint we will look around for macaques, hornbills and enjoy a bit of the view in the meanwhile. We continue the drive further into the park. Sometimes we might hear gibbon calls close to the road and try to track them down on foot. Or other wildlife might appear from the forest along the road.

After the safari drive, we will go for a walk through the evergreen forest. You will see big trees, and we will look for animals, big or small, as we venture through the forest. Spotting animals on foot can be quite challenging. On average we tend to see more large animals by car than on foot. But especially for seeing the smaller creatures of the jungle, walking is the best way to go.

Next, we will lunch in one of the park restaurants, before we venture further into the park. The next stop will be one of the major waterfalls in the park. But do not let your guard down when enjoying the beautiful scenery, because also around the waterfalls there is an equal chance to see wildlife.

In the late afternoon we typically focus on the search of elephants. Even though they are not rare in Khao Yai, they do not reveal themselves every day. We try to cover some distance to increase our chance, and drive past grass plains and mineral licks. Of course besides elephants there is always the chance to see something else.

After dinner, it is time set out for the night safari. Due to park regulations, we get a vehicle with national park staff assigned to drive you around. With a spotlight we try to spot nocturnal wildlife. Usually to finish the night safari route takes about 45 - 60 minutes. After which we will drive you out of the park and drop you off at your hotel.

Even though it would be a very long day, it is possible to book a roundtrip transfer with us from Bangkok and back after the night safari. Contact us for more information.

Extra information about the national park

Khao Yai national park lies at just 2.5 - 3 hours northeast of Bangkok and is easily accessible.

Our tours start from Pak Chong, a town to the north of the park. And we are able to organize transfers from Bangkok, and other places.

The park is open all year round, and our tours can take off every day of the year. But booking in advance is recommended!

Our tour guide, Run, picked us up at our hotel. When we arrived at Khao Yai he explained how everything would work. He took extra care pointing out wildlife that we would never have seen, including a green viper hidden in a bush. He went that extra mile twice taking us to places where elephants had just been spotted which meant we got to see a wild herd roaming the pasture plus we also saw a bull elephant come out of one side of the bush and walk down the road looking for a way into the other side of the bush. He was a very attentive and knowledgeable guide

Wat een fantastische ervaring hebben wij gehad! Onze gids mr. Apple heeft ons niet alleen verrast met zijn kennis van alle wilde dieren, maar ons ook enorm laten lachen met zijn heerlijke humor. We hadden geluk die dag met het zien van neushoornvogels, verschillende gibbons, een wilde olifant, een slang, stekelvarkens en ga zo maar door. De nachtsafari was leuk, maar overdag vonden wij persoonlijk het leukst. Vooraf was ik sceptisch over het huren van een gids, maar zonder gids hadden wij absoluut geen dieren gezien. Een dikke aanrader voor degene die naar Khao Yai park wil. Groeten, Erik & Laura

My husband and I came here as part of our honeymoon, and we are so happy we did. Our guide Beer made our experience incredible. He's been doing this for 17 years, and you can definitely tell by the knowledge and skill he exhibited on our trip, not to mention he's pretty funny and his English was also very good. We felt super lucky to have him. We *almost* saw an elephant (Beer spotted it but it turned and went a different direction before we were able to see,) but we saw gibbons, great hornbill, golden jackal, sambar deer, barking deer, porcupines, scorpions, a pit viper, a cobra, and of course plenty of macaques monkeys. We also learned about a lot of the plants/trees in the forest. We were surprised that the food provided was great, too! We would definitely come back for another tour!

We booked a 1-day trip in Khao Yai with the tour agency “Tontan travel”. The tour was a well organized and low-gear walk into the forest, for which only long trousers and hiking shoes are necessary. We booked a private tour and actually it was the case: the guide came to pick us up at our place in Pak Chong, the city nearby, and stayed with us until the end. All the guides of the other tours were paying attention not to tour on the same path as ours, so not to create big groups and scare animals. We had a lot of luck and we were able to spot from the very beginning of the tour a king cobra (2 meters long), some hornbills, gibbons, a horned lizard and a white snake. This was actually because of our guide, Mr. Apple, who was really prepared and brought us in the right spots at the right time. He also provided water, snacks, anti-leech socks and binoculars. He has also been very smart in suggesting to change our plan: because of the heavy rain we swapped the night safari with the bats cave, an impressive spectacle totally worth the visit! He also took care of our meals, bringing us to have dinner at the night market in Pak Chong. We really advise you to ask Tontan travel for Mr.Apple as your guide!

Had an absolutely wonderful day at Khao Yai (plus night Safari) with TonTan travel! Our guide Wan was amazing, knowledgeable, funny, skillful and really loved what she was doing with all her heart! We saw elephants, wild dogs, porcupine, jackal, Civet, sambars, barking deer, macaques and Gibbons! So much luck, some of these animals are so rare, that even Wan had only twice or as in case of the jackal never seen them before! Experienced the jungle better than ever to be expected! Thank you sooo much for this unforgettable day!

Thank you for your kind review. That's a lot of species for just one day! And some rare ones like the Asian Wild Dogs, and the Golden Jackal. The latter being indeed a rare sight in Khao Yai! Thank you for booking with us!

Hi Tontan Travel, It was a great day, I had a blast seeing so many wild animals. Tata was an awesome guide, I learnt quite a lot about some animal behaviors from him. :) The only downside of the trip was the unpredicted weather. It was pouring toward the end. Thanks

Hi Jenniffer, Great to hear you had a nice trip. I heard from our guide that you even were extremely fortunate to see an Asian Black Bear, that's great! Hopefully you get better weather on the rest of your holiday ;) Thanks for your feedback, and hopefully we will see you again someday.

9-3-2015 Jungletocht gedaan met gids Tata. Zeer enthousiast en bedreven man. Onbeschrijfelijk dat hij ons op zoveel dieren en planten wees en daar het verhaal bij kon vertellen. Wij hadden maar de helft gezien zonder hem. Hij vertelde ook over bomen en planten en liet ons een bloem eten, hout dat naar anijs rook ruiken. Het was duidelijk te horen dat hij gepassioneerd was door de natuur. We voelde zich op ons gemak bij hem en hebben erg genoten van de dag met Tata. Nog bedankt voor het maken van de mooie foto's met onze camera. Een blijvende mooie herinnering. We kunnen het iedereen aanraden. Tata, hartelijk dank voor deze mooie dag die ons bij blijft.

Beste John, Bedankt dat je de tijd hebt genomen om een mooie review te schrijven over jullie dagtour in Khao Yai. Het is voor ons ook iedere keer weer fijn te horen dat de gasten zich goed hebben vermaakt met onze gidsen. We twijfelen overigens geen moment over Tata's kwaliteiten en kunnen ons daarom altijd geruststellen als we de gasten aan hem overdragen. Bedankt voro de reactie en ook voor de bijgevoegde foto's. Zeker de kleurrijke papegaaibreedbek (Long-tailed Broadbill) is een erg mooie foto, met zijn staartveren mooi uitgespreid! Bedankt!

Beste Ton en Tan, Nog steeds genieten wij na van die fantastische dag met jullie en onze 2 meiden. Wat hebben we genoten. het was absoluut een hoogtepunt van onze vakantie! Zo veel gezien, waarbij juist alle kleine details die jullie weten en ons lieten zien zo geweldig waren, met de olifanten onder de houten uitkijkplaats waren natuurlijk ook fantastisch. We zullen jullie niet vergeten en zeker aanraden indien bekenden van ons jullie richting op gaan. Overigens zou het heel leuk zijn indien jullie een keertje bij gelegenheid wat foto's van die dag willen mailen, veel liefs en hartelijke groeten, Franklin & Jet Kooy (+ natuurlijk Malu en Donna)

Hoi Franklin, Jet, Malu & Donna, Leuk dat we een berichtje van jullie hebben mogen ontvangen. Het was een bijzondere dag die we met jullie beleefd hebben. Om zo dichtbij - maar veilig van bovenaf vanuit de uitkijktoren - op de olifantenmoeder met zoontje te mogen kijken, is iets wat weinig mensen mee zullen maken in het wild. We hebben meteen wat foto's doorgestuurd, en onze excuses voor het lange wachten. Altijd leuk om te horen dat Khao Yai het hoogtepunt van de vakantie was, het maakt het telkens toch weer onbegrijpelijk dat er maar een relatief klein aantal van de toeristen die naar Thailand komen de natuur ingaan, maar misschien maar goed ook. Blijft ons geheim, nou ja geheim... het staat wel op het geheel openbare wereldwijde web... ;) De groetjes aan iedereen daar in het nu kille Nederland! Tan & Ton

Great tour in Khao Yai National Park with guide J. Visited in 2013 and had one of the most memorable days ever! Thanks! J was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and helpful and made the tour feel very personal, being in the outdoors, learning about the strangling fig trees, seeing the wildlife, from the gibbons, to the elephants, even the beetles! The experience was fantastic, would highly recommend and definitely hope to return for further tours!

Hi Hana & Claire, Receiving a guestbook entry in 2015 for a tour joined in 2013 is special! And we take it as a compliment ;) If even after almost 2 years you still remember that day with our guide in Khao Yai national park, we believe it must have been a great day. Thank you for your contribution to our guestbook. We will pass your comments to Jay. And if you ever decide to visit Thailand again, you are always welcome to join a tour in one of Thailand's beautiful national park ;) Kind regards, Tony & Tan

I really enjoyed the all day tour and night safari during my trip to Thailand at the end of March. We saw more wildlife than I expected to see. Your knowledge of the different species and passion for wildlife is remarkable. The trek through the jungle was quite worthwhile, as we saw many creatures we would not have seen otherwise. The only disappointment was not seeing elephants, although I understand sometimes that’s the case. I’ll always remember spotting the Gibbons, Great Hornbill, Giant Squirrel, Monitor Lizards, Water Dragon, Crocodile, Pit Vipers, Sambar, and several other species. I’ll try to think of you if I’m ever in Thailand again.

Hi Jay, Thanks for your addition to our online guest book. Too bad the elephants did not show up, but indeed sometimes (or should I say, most of the time) that is the case. With 2168km2 of jungle there are lots of places for them to go, so luck is an important factor. But luckily many other animals made their appearance. Thank you for joining us, and at least now you have a good reason to come back ;) : To find you some Asian pachyderms! All the best!

We did the Khao Yai All-Day and Night Safari tour with this tour company in October. I wanted to say thank you for such a wonderful experience! We loved our trek through the jungle as we spotted some amazing animals and beautiful wildlife. Our tour guide took great care to make sure we got the most out of our experience. We saw great horn-bills, lizards, a porcupine, and even some wild elephants! Our group couldn’t have been more pleased and we have plenty of pictures to prove it. I am so thankful that I found your website and I will definitely recommend you. I appreciate your prompt and helpful response to inquiries, your diligence in finding us a guide in short notice, and your dedication to helping us have a memorable experience. Many Happy Trails!

Hi Elizabeth, Thanks for the guest book entry. I guess the fact that you post this message nearly six months after you've done the tour in Khao Yai, proves that you enjoyed the day and apparently have good memories about it. We're glad to hear you had a great day with some great sightings. We'll pass your comment to our guide. Hopefully all is well with you all, teaching in Thailand. And if you ever feel like you need a breath of fresh jungle air, you know where to find us ;). Best wishes, Tony & Tan

How to Visit Khao Yai National Park

Khao Yai National Park is located about 2.5 hours north of Bangkok and is one of Thailand’s best national parks. Established in 1962, it was Thailand’s first national park and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

I’d always heard great things about the park while I lived in the country . But despite living in Thailand for several years, I never managed to get there.

Luckily, I eventually got to play tour guide for a friend from Boston when they visited and used that as my excuse to finally make it there.

I can’t believe it took me so long.

The park is truly amazing. It’s filled with lush flora and fauna, tons of birds, waterfalls, beautiful hikes, a few wild elephants, and is virtually empty of tourists.

Arriving at our guesthouse in the afternoon, we were just in time to make a half-day tour. This tour brought us to a few caves and a natural spring. The first cave was home to over 2,000 bats and used to be a Buddhist monastery before the local community helped build the monks a proper temple. However, the monks still come down here at night to meditate. I suspect the darkness and tranquility are good for meditation.

Our guide seemed to be an expert in everything, showing us all the insects, talking about the life cycle of bats, and even giving us a lesson on the composition of the dirt and how bat guano can be used to make explosives. Usually, when you’re visiting Thailand , tour guides are just ushers, walking you from place to place, discussing very little, letting you take your photos, and then moving on. But this guide knew it all and was able to explain the history and zoology of not only this cave but the whole region.

The second cave featured over two million bats, and we arrived just in time to see them head out for their nightly feed. Watching it was like watching something on the Discovery Channel, a seemingly endless stream of bats flying out in pursuit of their evening meal as the sun set below the horizon. Our guide, who seemed to know our cameras better than any of us, was able to catch some of it on tape for us through the telescope:

We spent the following day back in the park for a full day of hiking through the jungle and trying to spot wildlife. Our day began with bird watching, followed by a five-hour trek through the jungle . We spotted a lot of birds throughout the day, including the Great Hornbill, which has a wingspan over two meters wide. Monkeys hovered on the side of the road, and gibbons swung through the trees.

As we made our way through the jungle, it became clear to me that we were the only group on this trail, allowing us extra personal time with the animals. Usually, in northern Thailand, you see a lot of tour groups on the trails, so it was nice to finally get somewhere where we could be alone with nature.

The monsoon season kicked in about halfway through our trek, pouring down an ocean of water on us as we made our way back to the car. The rain abated just as we hit the last few waterfalls, including the one Leonardo Di Caprio jumped off in the movie The Beach .

Despite being one of the biggest and most well-known parks in Thailand, there were few tourists there, making for an enjoyable and peaceful experience. With it being only half a day from Bangkok, you should really consider visiting Khao Yai before you head off to the tropical islands that make Thailand so famous .  

Where to Stay Near Khao Yai National Park

Usually, press in a Lonely Planet book leads to higher prices and poorer quality. However, this place offered cheap accommodation, excellent food, reasonably priced tours, and very knowledgeable tour guides. If you ever go to Khao Yai, this place comes with my highest recommendation. I’d go back in a second.  

Things to See in Khao Yai National Park

Here are some of the best things to see during your visit to the park:

• Haew Suwat Waterfall – This waterfall was made famous in The Beach and is definitely worth seeing (though unfortunately, you won’t be able to mimic Leo’s classic jump, as swimming isn’t allowed at the waterfall).
• Pha Diew Die Viewpoint – At 1,100 meters (3,608 feet) above sea level, this is probably the most breathtaking viewpoint in the park. You’ll get a sweeping view of the whole area and there are usually very few people around.
• Haew Narok Waterfall – This waterfall translates to “Sunken Hole of Hell” which is a very foreboding name for a gorgeous waterfall! It got its names from poachers who apparently heard the noise of its water crashing long before they saw the water and assumed it the crashing rumble was the gates of hell opening.
• Non Pak Chi Watchtower – This is a good place to stop to try and see some of the park’s wildlife, such as wild boars and elephants. Aim to be here for dawn or dusk for the best chances.
• Elephants (and other wild animals) – Best found at sunrise or sunset, there are actually hundreds of elephants located in the park. You can find them near some of the salt licks around the park, though you have to be patient (and lucky!). The best way to see them (and other animals) is to go on a night safari, as many animals prefer to be active during the cool night hours. Tours are organized by the park and cost 1,600-5,400 THB per person depending on number of people on the tour.
• Khao Luk Chang Bat Cave – This is the aforementioned bat cave, definitely a sight to see as all the bats exit the cave at once!

How to Get to Khao Yai National Park

If you want to visit the park, you’ll need to head to Pak Chong — it’s the closest town. Buses leave frequently from Bangkok’s Mo Chit Bus Station and the journey takes 3.5 hours. Expect to pay around 280 THB for the bus.

You can also take the train from Bangkok. Expect to pay at least 140 THB for the train (which takes just under 3 hours), however, tickets can cost upwards of 900 THB.

All guesthouses will pick you up from the bus or train station if you let them know when you’re arriving. They can also arrange a tour of the park (full day, half-day, or multi-day). Prices begin at 500 THB for a half-day tour and 1,600 THB per person for a full-day tour. Admission to the park itself is 400 THB for international visitors (plus 30 THB if you have a motorcycle).

You can hike many of the shorter trails yourself as well as camp in the park too. Regular Songthaew service runs from Pak Chong to the park entrance, though from there it is still 10 kilometers (6 miles) to get into the park. The ride from Pak Chong takes around 40 minutes and costs 150 THB. There are limited spots so book in advance. I wouldn’t hike the longer trails without a guide.

Another great way to explore the park is by motorcycle. You can rent motorcycles nearby for 300-600 THB per day, which includes two helmets. Car rentals are also available for around 1,500 THB per day.

4D3N Khao Yai Itinerary — The Whimsical City Just 3 Hours From Bangkok

A 3-hour drive from Bangkok lies a city filled with wineries, farms, and massive floral fields. Wait what? That exists in Thailand? Yes it does, and you can find it all in Khao Yai. Here’s how to cover all the must-eat-see-do in this 4D3N Khao Yai itinerary.

Bangkok has been my go-to getaway whenever there’s a short window for travelling. Flights are fairly cheap (being only 3 hours away), food is delicious and affordable, and it’s easy to get around. But there’s only so much the city can continue to excite us, restless travellers.

Right after we landed in Bangkok this time, we drove 3 hours north to the city of Khao Yai where we spent four days exploring places we hardly expected to see in Thailand.

Pre-trip Essentials

Best time to visit: Khao Yai is generally a few degrees cooler than Bangkok but the cool weather and clear skies are best experienced during the post-monsoon/winter season between November – February (flights then are relatively cheap too!). Average temperatures in the day hover around a comfortable mid-20 and drop to 10–15°C at night.

Getting around: Many key sights can be up to an hour’s drive away. There are also no metered taxis or ride-hailing apps around here. So we booked an affordable 4-day private car charter through Klook which gave us complete freedom to decide what we wanted to experience each day in Khao Yai. More on that below!

*Pro-tip: Use code <THETRAVELINTERN> on Klook to get 5% off all activities with a min. spend of S$50 (discount cap at S$15). Apply the promo code upon checkout. One-time use only!

Connectivity: 8-day unlimited data SIM card (pick up from BKK airport)

Travel insurance:  TravelCare covers medical overseas expenses including adventurous activities cover (starts from $4.50/day )

Arrive in Bangkok

If you’re landing at Suvarnabhumi Airport, you can spot the drivers waiting outside Gate 4 with distinct orange (Klook) signboards. We met our driver, bought some breakfast and were on our way.

*Pro-tip:  The ride will take 2.5–3 hours so grab yourself some food at the airport’s Family Mart. You can get a pretty decent Thai Basil Rice set with a runny fried egg for ฿65.

Yellow Submarine Coffee Tank

After a 2.5-hour drive, we took a coffee stop at the Yellow Submarine Coffee Tank . The black walls and minimalist architecture attract many locals who use the various corners for a mini photoshoot.

But don’t just come for the photos, some notable items on the menu include their Hokkaido Coffee (฿140) and Charcoal Honey Toast (฿185), which comes with a delicious scoop of vanilla ice cream.

The coffee was alright but the charcoal toast was pretty good! It was crisp, evenly buttered throughout and compliments well with the vanilla ice cream.

Cost: From ฿140/dish Opening hours:  9AM – 6PM (Mon – Thu), 9AM – 7PM (Fri – Sun), closed on Tues and PH How to get there:   11min drive from Khao Yai National Park ( Google Maps )

*Note: Might be closed on weekdays during the low season.

Primo Piazza

Just a 3-minute drive from Yellow Submarine Coffee Tank is the famous Primo Piazza  — an Italian-themed village with vintage buildings.

Drop by the cafe for some brunch or the ice cream parlour to cool off under the midday sun.

But perhaps the greatest highlight here is the sheep, donkeys, and alpacas! Your entry ticket can be exchanged for a bunch of animal feed which serves as a good bribe for photos with the animals 😀.

Entrance fee:  ฿200 Opening hours:  9AM – 6PM How to get there:   11min drive from Khao Yai National Park ( Google Maps )

Dinner at Krua Kampan

After exploring hipster cafes, and walking through little Italy, we were craving some homely Thai food and chanced upon Kua Kampan — a 10-minute drive from Palio. Its cosy, open-air setting and affordable prices turned out to be quite popular with local tourists.

The centrepiece is a modified boat made to accommodate a couple of tables on the deck. Popular dishes here are the Red Curry with Snails (฿200) — snails were alright but the curry was really good, and Red Ruby Fish (฿320) — the fish was massive! If there are only two of you, the grilled mackerel (฿220) is a good alternative.

Cost: From ฿200/dish Opening hours:  9AM – 9PM How to get there: 8min drive from Khao Yai National Park ( Google Maps )

PB Wine Valley

Start the day early and hop on the 9AM winery tour at PB Wine Valley — a 350-hectare vineyard and the largest in Khao Yai.

At 350m above sea level, the conditions are perfect for growing certain varieties of wine grapes, as well as other seasonal fruits you can find here.

The tour leaves four times daily (9:15AM, 11:15AM, 1:15PM, and 3:15PM) and will bring you through vineyards, the wine factory, and of course, to taste some wine. Kids as well as those who aren’t up for alcohol can ask for a full glass of 100% Shiraz Grape juice (non-alcoholic) instead.

Cost:  From ~S$14/pax for a 70-minute tour around the winery (includes 3 wine tasters) Opening hours: 8AM – 8PM (Sun – Thu), 8AM – 10PM (Fri and Sat) How to get there: 26min drive from Khao Yai National Park ( Google Maps )

Farm Chokchai

This 100-hectare farm holds tours twice a day from Tuesdays to Fridays and every 20 minutes over the weekends. Unfortunately, we couldn’t book the tour but heard great reviews from the other travellers we met in Khao Yai.

The tour brings you through the farm’s agriculture processes, a rodeo show and even has ice cream-making classes (only available through pre-booking).

If you miss the farm tour, there are also ATV rides (฿360) that bring you into the forest and an open farm with sheep and horses you can feed for ฿40. There’s also a Chokchai Museum that houses a wide range of collections from cowboy merchandise to vintage cars and cameras.

Cost:  ฿300 for a 2-hour Farm Tour Farm tours:  10AM and 2PM (Tues – Fri); 10AM, 11AM, 1PM, 2PM (Sat, Sun and PH); closed on Mondays unless it’s a PH How to get there: 30min drive from PB Wine Valley ( Google Maps )

*Note:  Pre-book the tour by calling +66 4493 5504

Ban Mai Chay Nam

Ban Mai Chay Nam is so much more than just a restaurant. While walking in, you’ll see an extensive collection of characters like Superman, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, and even Colonel Sanders. Walking through the corridor to our tables was a whole journey of childhood nostalgia.

The place is huge but can get quite crowded during lunch hours as tour buses will make a stop here.

We ordered papaya salad (฿60), a medium-sized plate of fried rice with generous servings of real crab meat (฿150), and tom yum soup (฿200) which were all really tasty and priced affordably.

Cost: From ฿60/dish Opening hours:  9AM – 9PM How to get there: 20min drive from Farm Chokchai ( Google Maps )

Baan Suan Noi (Hobbit House)

After lunch, wean off your food coma with a 40-minute nap in the car before arriving at Baan Suan Noi; known as the Hobbit House.   Primarily an accommodation (that gets booked up really quickly ) you can also visit just to take photos and explore the area.

There’s even a whole room full of costumes ranging from Snow White to Harry Potter and of course, The Hobbit characters. Some of the unbooked rooms are even left open for anyone to explore.

There are 13 themed rooms in either Hobbit or Santorini style.

Have to say I was really quite impressed with the Santorini rooms. Not only because of its all-white theme but the little details like the curvatures in the wall and the little trinkets in the room really reminded me of our Airbnb when we were in Santorini .

Cost:  ฿50 (Entrance Only); ฿100 (Entrance + Costume Rental) Opening hours: 8AM – 11PM How to get there:  32min drive from Ban Mai Chay Nam ( Google Maps )

Dinner at Midwinter Green

Up for a castle dining experience? Head to Midwinter Green an hour before the sun sets so you can see the place when there’s still natural light but also at its most beautiful when the outdoor lights go on.

If you’re visiting in the cooler seasons, ask for the outdoor seats so you can enjoy the cool evening breeze and live music, while dining with a view of the castle.

Dishes cost around the same as cafes in Singapore which isn’t too pricey considering the setting and service. We ordered the pork ribs with BBQ sauce (฿490) as well as the Aglio Olio (฿295) which was really fragrant and a must-try for spicy food lovers.

Cost: From ฿295/dish Opening hours: 10AM – 10PM (Sun – Thu), closes at 11PM on Fri and Sat How to get there: 31min drive from Baan Suan Noi ( Google Maps )

Day 3: Khao Yai National Park

Spanning across 2,000 square kilometres, Khao Yai National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is home to lots of wildlife like elephants, deers, otters and gibbons.

Grab a map from the Visitor Centre before going on self-guided treks to check out waterfalls and viewpoints where you can overlook the vast greenland. Most of the treks are fairly easy and straightforward, with the option of getting your driver to drop you close to the lookout point.

Entrance fee:  ฿400 and ฿50/car Opening hours: 6AM – 6PM How to get there: 10min from Primo Piazza ( Google Maps )

Haew Narok Waterfall

Starting from the furthest point, and also the tallest waterfall in the National Park, Haew Narok measures 100m high. From the closest drop-off point, it’s an easy 900m walk to the lookout point.

If you’re game, there’s also a rocky path from the left side of the barrier where you can climb down to the base. It might look really steep but you’ll see lots of families with young kids attempting the trail too.

Recommended time: 1.5 hours Opening hours:  8AM – 5PM

Pa Deo Die Cliff (Also spelt Pha Diao Dai/Pha Diew Die)

There are a couple of scenic viewpoints from the Pak Chong Entrance towards the visitor centre but Pa Deo Die is arguably the best. There’s a raised wooden path that makes the cliff easily accessible and a round trip around the path only takes 15 – 20 minutes.

Although there are warning signs against getting too close to the edge, the flat boulders are pretty safe to hang your legs over as you enjoy the panoramic view upfront.

Recommended time:  30 – 45 minutes

Haew Suwat Waterfall

Haew Suwat Waterfall is much easier to access than Haew Narok Waterfall so you’ll see a bigger crowd here; though there are more vantage points so you’re more likely to get a photo without getting photobombed. The waterfall is 25m high and splits into two separate streams. You can even walk to the back of the waterfall although you’ll probably get a little bit wet.

Recommended time:  1 hour

Night Safari

At the visitor centre, you can pre-book your night safari for ฿500 a car (fits up to 10 pax) which goes out at two timings (7PM and 8PM). Although if you’re lucky (like us 😀) you can spot wild elephants during the day from the grassland between Haew Narok and the visitor centre.

Popular animals spotted on the safari ride other than elephants include deer, otters, oxes and gibbons. Cost:  ฿500/vehicle Tour timings: 7PM and 8PM

*Pro-tip:  Bring along a sweater as temperatures tend to dip quite a bit at night.

Pak Chong Night Market

After a whole day of hiking, the yummy street food at the Pak Chong Night Market was a treat.

Not the most appetising but it wasn’t as bad as expected!

Some of our favourite finds here were the Mango Sticky Rice (฿60 for a whole mango and generous servings of rice), fresh fruits like papaya (฿20, neatly cut and packed in a box), instant noodle salad (฿60) and the Chilli Cheese Fries (฿39).

Cost: From ฿20/dish Opening hours:  5PM – 10PM How to get there:  32min from Khao Yai National Park ( Google Maps )

Our flight back to Singapore wasn’t until at night so we had the afternoon to explore before driving back to Bangkok.

Brunch at The Chocolate Factory

Although called the  Chocolate Factory , this glass building is actually more of a restaurant with a pastry and chocolate store on the first floor.

When you enter, there’s also a small glass kitchen where you can observe chocolate products in the making.

The restaurant serves a wide range of Western to local Thai food with mains starting from ฿180.

Opening hours:  11AM – 10PM How to get there:  12min drive from Khao Yai National Park ( Google Maps )

Jim Thompson Farm

Saving the best for the last (partially also because it was the most out of the way), it takes about 2 hours to drive to the Jim Thompson Farm but if you love flowers, the scale of these flower fields are well worth it!

These sunflowers are taller than the average human being!

Don’t get too carried away though as it takes around 3 hours to drive back to Bangkok in moderate traffic.

There’s also a food court within the Jim Thompson Farm at very affordable prices. Grab a bowl of noodles or rice with curry before heading off for the airport.

Entrance fee: ฿160 (Weekdays), ฿190 (Weekends) Opening hours:  9AM – 5PM How to get there:  2hr drive from The Chocolate Factory ( Google Maps )

Accommodation in Khao Yai

1) luxury: lala mukha tented resort.

Not only is the tent interior one of the cosiest we’ve experienced, the surroundings at  Lala Mukha Tented Resort  is so gorgeous you don’t really want to leave the resort, no kidding!

The area is surrounded by mountains, plenty of greenery and not to mention how cutely designed the accommodation is. You get to pick from three choices:

Loft Tree house — has one double and two single beds

Deluxe Savana Tent — comes with attached shower and toilet

Eco Safari Tent — no attached bathroom but comes with a living room area, a fridge, a sofa and a TV.

We got the Eco Safari Tent as all the others were fully booked but loved every bit of it! The shared bathrooms weren’t too far away from the tents, modernly designed and were exceptionally clean!

Breakfast with a view.

All the tents come with air conditioning although if you’re here from November to January, you’ll want to roll down the tent windows and enjoy the cool, crisp air outside.

Did we mention there’s also a gorgeous infinity pool overlooking the lake?!

Cost:  From ~S$192/night (2 pax) How to get there:  5min drive from Khao Yai National Park ( Google Maps)

2) Fun: The Kids Adventure Khao Yai

Located just 500m from the northern entrance of Khao Yai National Park , The Kids Adventure Khao Yai is a great mid-range alternative.

These are two storied lofts with attached bathrooms in a small but cosy space. However because the beds are located upstairs and cold air sinks, you might want to turn the air conditioning a little colder than you’re usually used to.

Being a kid-friendly accommodation, there are free archery and golf stations you can use anytime.

Cost:  From S$45/night (2 pax) How to get there: 7min walk from Khao Yai National Park ( Google Maps )

3) Budget: At Home Hostel

Photo credit: Booking.com

Located within walking distance from Pak Chong Night Market, At Home Hostel is one of the first few that opened in Khao Yai and is run by a friendly couple.

It’s great if you’re here without your own private driver as you can meet and share transport with the other guests staying here.

Cost: From ~S$27/pax (dorm bed) How to get there:  7min drive from Khao Yai National Park ( Google Maps )

Khao Yai Custom Tours

How this custom tour works is, you’ll be assigned a driver who’ll pick you up from Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi, Don Muang or your hotel) and drive 3 hours north to Khao Yai. Each day, you can plan out a 12–hour itinerary to fit around three to five attractions depending on the distance.

*Pro-tip: Use code <THETRAVELINTERN> on Klook to get 5% off all activities with a min. spend of S$50 (discount cap at S$15). Apply the promo code upon checkout. One-time use only!

The regular salon cars will cater for three to four passengers but if you’re going with a bigger group, there’s also the option of picking a van for up to 10 passengers . We spoke to travellers in Khao Yai who booked a van with other tour agents and realised Klook’s prices were a lot lower!

If you’d like to follow our itinerary, here’s the concise version:

Day 1: Yellow Submarine Coffee Tank, Primo Piazza, Kua Kampan, back to accommodation

Day 2:  PB Wine Valley, Farm Chokchai, Ban Mai Chay Nam Restaurant, Hobbit House, Midwinter Green, back to the accommodation

Day 3:  Khao Yai National Park, Pak Chong Night Market

Day 4:  Chocolate Factory, Jim Thompson Farm, Suvarnabhumi Airport

For PB Wine Valley and Farm Chokchai , be sure to call up the office to make reservations for the tour at least one day before going. For us, we arrived on a Sunday and many tours were fully booked but our driver was generally quite flexible about making on-the-spot improvisations. Just be sure to have a list of all the places you intend to cover and your driver can help plan the most efficient route.

We hope you found this 4D3N Khao Yai itinerary useful!

4D3N Action-Packed Phuket Itinerary: Activities Not For The Faint-Hearted

75 comments.

Thanks for all the information. Really very helpful as we are planning for a trip in 2018 feb to Khao Yai.. can you also mention overall budget for 4d3n if we follow exactly the same itinerary?

Hi Deepti, we spent about SGD1100 for 2pax excluding flights from Singapore. It can be easily $3-400 cheaper if you pick alternative accommodations, and eat less at the restaurants!

Hi SGD1100, the KLOOK helps to book accommodations as well and included your for expenditure? How much did you spent on just booking the private car?

We paid around $570 for 4 days because we planned to visit places like the Jim Thompson Farm and the Hobbit House which are a little further out. If you’re not visiting these places, it’s around S$480 for 4 days. More info here: http://bit.ly/fussfree-Khaoyai

Hi Cherie, thank you so much for the recommendation. Yours is a private tour right? Any idea if the price same for mini van?

Nope it costs more but fits up to 10pax! You can check out the latest price by “pretending” to book!

Hi Cherie. For the klook package, is it necessary to book with the Guide option?

Nope! You can just pick the option of a driver but some drivers might have a limited command of English.

Hi! Thanks for these info it sure helps us for our upcoming trip in Mar18. One qn thou, does the customised tour by Klook includes the transfer to Lala Mukha? Thanks!:) Ida

Hi Ida, Yes! The tour is fully customisable so you just need to include it in your itinerary when planning the trip with your driver.

Hi Cherie, after reading yours, i totally fall in love & decide Khao Yai for my next vacay nex month for 4D3N…Do i need to book the driver for 4days? Pls advice.. tia

Awesome! If you’re following our itinerary, the 4 day package will fit perfectly 🙂

hi Cherie. Thanks for these info it sure helps us for our upcoming trip in Mar 28th to mar 31st . we will go with 4 adults ( me and my husband and our parent) and a toddler. i will skip your day 3 trip plan, any recommendation for us?

Hi Jenny! The National Park isn’t that tough as the waterfalls are well marked with clear trails and steps. For the elderly it might be tiring but if they are the adventurous kind, it shouldn’t be a problem! We saw many children and toddlers as well.

For ideas, this post might be more useful! https://thetravelintern.com/25-things-to-do-in-khao-yai/

With the family, you guys might want to travel slower and cover less places as well, so the extra day can be used to take things slow. Hope this helps!

– hendric

Hi hendric, during touring the khao yai national park, such as waterfall and the cliff, can we go by ourselves? or do we need to hire a guide? thanks.

It’s quite a straightforward walk from the respective car parks so you won’t need a guide if you’re driving or have hired a private car charter for the day (like us)! Alternatively, you could ask to be dropped off at the Visitor centre and hike to the waterfall and cliff from there. Guides are available for these longer hikes although there are maps provided and there are people who do it on their own too!

Total price for $1100 for 2 pax includes the meals, car and the entrance to all the attractions that was mentioned?

How does it work if we’re planning to spend a few days in BKK first before heading over to Khao Yai, say, we leave BKK in the afternoon and reach Khao Yai just in time to check in and have dinner? Was checking out the different packages at Klook, we can choose just a few places to go instead of their full list right, seeing how it’s customizable?

Thanks! Jacq

Hi jacqueline,

Yup you can do that too! Simply get the driver to pick you up from someone prominent in BKK. Preferably a hotel I guess so there’s an easy place to park and meet.

The list of places is only a suggestion so your route is entirely up to you!

Hi The klook package is per person or per car rate?

It’s per car!

Hi. May I know where exactly is Pa Deo Die cliff located in the national park? Can’t really find the location for it anywhere.

We couldn’t too! But it’s a popular area and our driver knew exactly where it was. 🙂

Planning 2pax to travel to Khao Yai for 5 days 4 nights But out bud is max $800each, will that work . Kindly share what are the key sites and restaurants are must visits ?

Hi Carmen, what we recommend is already in the itinerary! The sites and restaurants are not expensive, your main costs would be the car rental ( https://bit.ly/fussfree-Khaoyai ) and accommodation. The car rental costs and accommodation can be split so it shouldn’t be that bad!

Hi Cherie, Thank you for all your info and itinerary. I’ve booked with Klook on 2 vans for 18 pax. I’ve followed your itinerary for 4d 3n. Can I check with you, how do I booked all the entrance tickets? Is it possible for us to purchase the tickets as we arrived every destination? If need to book first, do you have all the links that you’ve booked?

Hey Carlyn, the only attractions that required pre-booking was the PB Wine Valley Tour (you can email them for reservations), Farm Chokchai (you’ll need to call them) and the Night Safari at Khao Yai National Park (reserved at the National Park’s visitor centre). The email and numbers are all available in the article! 🙂 All the other tickets can be purchased at the entrance.

However, since you’re travelling with a big group, you might also want to make reservations at Ban Mai Chay Nam too as it can get quite crowded over lunch.

Hi.. is the entrance fees to all the attractions place mentioned in the custom tour are inclusive? Price from Klook is only for the driver, fuel and car.?e.g. 4D Package B : S$570 you mentioned above? I’ve contacted Klook, the CS replied really confusing. Cant differentiate between Private Tour and Custom Tour. We cant decide which package to take and no confidence to ask Klook.

The entrance fees aren’t inclusive so you can choose activities that interest you most and pay when you reach the place. Our itinerary was picked based on what we wanted to see but you can mix and match with stuff from this non-exhaustive list: https://thetravelintern.com/25-things-to-do-in-khao-yai/

I’ve just studied the 2 listings and it looks like the Private Car Charter is only for a single day trip to and from Bangkok. Meaning you’ll have to return to Bangkok on the same day. Whereas for the Custom Tour we took, the driver picked us from the airport in Bangkok and only sent us back after our 4 days in Khao Yai. Every night, we’d be sent back to our accommodation in Khao Yai. Hope this helps!

Im planning family trip ( 1 Adult+1 eldery (age 67)+ 1 teen) to Bangkok/Khao Yai in December 2018. Undecide whether to visit on early-Dec or mid-Dec or 23-27 Dec . Which date would you recommend ? Can suggest some itinerary for 5D/4N trip , prefer to spend 3days or 4 days at KhaoYai. Thank you.

Don’t think there’s a difference for December, but I would personally avoid the Christmas season!

For a 5D4N itinerary, you can consider the other attractions here: https://thetravelintern.com/25-things-to-do-in-khao-yai/

Hi Cherie, I’m planning a 4 days trip but during last week of june so may not be the best weather. Will all the places in your article still be open? eg the PB vineyard and the Jim Thompson farm etc. in case they are seasonal.

I think it’s best to give them a call to check since you’ll need to make a booking beforehand anyway 🙂

Morning We are planning about 4-6pax to travel to Khao Yai from 22 Dec onwards 4 Days 3 nights. Can you help us on the Accomondations, Transport etc… What’s the cost for the package? Do you have itinerary for us?

Thank you Clara

Hi Clara, you can try booking here and follow our itinerary in this article. https://www.klook.com/activity/3738-khao-yai-custom-tour-from-bangkok/?aid=312

Hi Cherie Thank you very much for your sharing. I’m planning to go with my family members 8 pax on end Nov 18 for 3N in Khao Yai. Is it book the van with driver & give my own planned itineraries to the driver?

Hi Felice! Yup that’s what you do. During the booking process, you’ll be asked to list down your rough itinerary. The drivers are flexible, but it’s better to have a rough plan.

Hi, Thanks for the great write up. I’m planning for 4d3n in Dec. If I’m leaving on day 4 around 10am to catch the 4pm flight from BKK, then should I get the 4 days package or 3 days? If I take 3 days, then what about my transport to airport on day 4? If I take 4 days, then I would have wasted the day 4 since I’m leaving at 10am. Thanks!

Hi Lilian, Yup you are right! The driver follows you all the way to it’s either you sacrifice the time or find an alternative way. Perhaps you can end Day 3 in BKK then take a taxi or transfer from your hotel in BKK to the airport? That’s what another reader did as well.

May I know if you stayed at 1 accommodation throughout the 4D/3N itinerary? Are all the resort choices in Khao Yai accessible to all your 25 recommended activities?

We are planning to visit during the Christmas week which you caution to avoid. Why so?

Cheers, Sophia

Hi Sophia, we stayed in two different accommodations: – Lala Mukha Tented Resort (our favourite) – The Kids Adventure Khao Yai

You can easily base yourself at one location without worry because of your driver ( https://bit.ly/fussfree-Khaoyai ) No worries!

We mentioned avoiding Christmas as it’ll be crowded that’s all. Other than tourists, there will also be plenty of locals on holiday!

Hi , I’m planning to go Khao Yai during December for 4d3n. Are you able to provide me an itinerary and package rate for 3adult and 1 kid. Hotel we booked ourselves . Pickup at airport to khao yai and return to Bangkok.

Hi Mark, you can book here! https://bit.ly/fussfree-Khaoyai

Hi Cherie, Does the package A or B of each number of days apply to 1 driver to any number of pax ? Does that means – if 2 pax or 5 pax to a driver and choose package A – 3 days, the price is the same ?

Hi Lynette, the price applies to per vehicle!

Hi Cherie If I choose Package A – 4 days at S$482 , but I want to include some other places which are not covered in this package, does the driver accomodate and not charge us ? You mentioned many times driver is accomodating, thus places like Jim Thomson Farm and HobbitHouse can be requested on that day itself if we decide to change the itinerary? I don’t seem to be able to get a reply from KLOOK from some of my enquiries.

Hi Lynette, if it’s within a 50km radius of the national park, it should be ok! However it’s still best to get a confirmation from Klook’s helpdesk. They have a live chat that is quite responsive usually!

Hi, can the car accommodate 4 pax? Is it possible to include Saraburi Sunflower Field in our itinerary. I hope to know before booking.

Hi Jenn, unfortunately the car charter is up to 3 pax for the small car. However you can rent the bigger van that can accommodate up to 10! Should be possible to include!

According to Klook: Standard Car (Toyota Corolla or Vios): 3 Passengers + 3 Pieces of standard luggage Standard Van (Toyota Commuter): 10 Passengers + 5 Pieces of standard luggage The number of passengers and amount of standard luggage should be no more than 6 for car, no more than 15 for van.

Hi, When you visited the National Park is the driver with you the whole time bringing you to the different areas? Did you spend the whole day inside the park or go in and out? Is there food available for dinner if we stay on for the safari?

Hi Loges, Yes the driver drove us around as the areas can be quite far away. We spent majority of the time in the park. There are quite a number of food stalls near the main national park centre where you can get food. Not to worry!

Hi, im planning to go khaoyai in this November, but i am struggling on the transportation part. as i read your blog, you booked a car charter on KLOOK right ? can the car accomodate 4 person ? or more than 3 then i must book a van ==. secondly, the prices in KLOOK for per car is for one person or the whole car ?

The prices are in per car/van. And yup you are right that the car can only fit up to 3pax

Is it possible to do it in a DIY way? Or really need to book a private tour for this Khao Yai experience. Thanks.

Hi Mae, if you’re comfortable with driving you can rent your own car too! We just found this easier and more fuss free in Thailand.

Thank you very much for your sharing. Noted that follow the Plan B you went Jim Thomspson farm on the last day. However, i couldn’t see the location stated in the itinenery. Did you make a special request to the Klook or the Driver ? Can make the request 1 day in advance ? Look forward your kind reply. Thanks 🙂

Hi Sam Sam, For us we made our request on the first day and also indicated it when booking the transport.

I have been trying to email and chat with them on the klook website but it was no respond. Hope that you can help us on the following queries:

1. If we have 8 adults and 3 kids ages 12, 10 & 6, is it ok for us to book for the 10 pax Van?

2. If based on your above reply to others, am i correct that the itinerary can be customized according to ourselves rather than the one posted in Klook website? We are actually looking for 3 days 2 nights trip there?

3. We have 3 elderly travel with us, will the Haew Narok Waterfall, Pa Deo Die Cliff and Haew Suwat Waterfall needs to trek and not suitable for them?

Looking forward to your kind reply. Thank you and have a nice day!

2) Yes! That’s the great thing about the car charter. You can just pick the number of days and select the activities you’d prefer. Have you seen our article on 25 things to do in Khao Yai ? You can pick and choose from the possibilities there.

3) It’s been some time since we went but if my memory doesn’t fail me, only Haew Suwat was a little hard to get to. Pa Deo Die Cliff and Haew Narok Waterfall has proper walkways so if they’re okay with strolling, it’s quite accessible!

Unfortunately I can’t answer #1. If might not be allowed because of safety. Did you try the live chat function on the website? They usually reply quite quickly there!

I try but every time no answer…not sure why.

Btw the trip that you mentioned is “Khao Yai Custom Tour from Bangkok” rather than “Khao Yai All-Time Favorites Private Tour from Bangkok”, am i correct? i get a bit confuse with their package, and not sure i should book which one….If i based on those places that we wanted to visit, i think only Hobbit House is a bit far, others location should still within the 50km radius from Khao Yai National Park. I guess we will need to go with Package B if i understand correctly.

I am wondering what is the different if we book “Khao Yai All-Time Favorites Private Tour from Bangkok”, is that mean the itinerary has to follow exactly shown in the website?

I will love to visit Jim Thompson Farm but they only open in 8 Dec’18 which we have to make it a miss this time.

Btw, thanks a lot for your reply. It was a great help to us!

When I looked through Klook, they mention if our hotel is located other than Pakchung area, there is surcharge to pick us to & from hotel everyday..So if I were to take Package B 4 days as per you, is there any additional charges if I were to stay in Ozone hotel or any other hotels? and for all the hotels you stayed, is there any surcharge for picking you up?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Seok Hoon, I think you will have to check with Klook for the hotel you are staying in to see if it lies within their zone. However for the hotels we stayed at, we did not pay any surcharge.

Cherie, so glad to stumble upon your blog! Cos we are also doing a 4D 3N visit with Klook. I saw you wrote that the PB tours are only till noon. So I was thinking of going there in the morning then the National Park in the afternoon. I mainly want to see the Haew Suwat waterfall (cos you said it is easier to get to!) and Pao Deo Die cliffs. Do you think that is workable or should we go to the National Park in the morning?

sounds possible! Those two can be covered under 3 hours. If you stay till the evening, you can even sign up for the safari tour

I saw your post of this; “Hi Mae, if you’re comfortable with driving you can rent your own car too! We just found this easier and more fuss free in Thailand.”.

May u recommend the good car rental agent of service? is it meant that we could personally drive from Bangkok to Khao Yai? how’s about the road along the Khao Yai, and is it easy or nope to park the vehicles?

Thanks..really enjoyed ur story!

Hi Wanwan, We know it exists but unfortunately have not tried it before so we can’t comment too much! What we replied to Mae was all we are aware of.

Hi Cherie Thanks for the helpful blog. The sim card offered by Klook is 8 days unlimited data sim card. Can it be share with hotspot and for how many persons?

Many thanks.

Hi Angie, last we remembered it does not allow hotspot. But we’re not sure now!

Hi looking at your blog made me booked for a trip coming Nov19 via klook. As I am travelling with kids, would like to check with you the safety level in Khao Yai especially visiting night safari is it very dark/unsafe for kids since it is in the wild?

Hey Coco, it’s pretty safe!

Hi, i am unable to see the itinerary. It ends at arrival at BKK. Anyway to access the full itinerary? Thanks

Hi! Thanks for the heads up, it’s fixed now 🙂

Hi Cherie, we are planning to visit khao yai in Nov. we love your itinerary & plan to go with that. However, when i book the khao yai custom tour from BKK, the pick up field is only for hotel, not BKK Suvarnabhumi airport. I email Klook and was instructed to book a separate private car charter just to send us from BKK airport to khao yai. That does not look like the way you travel. could you plse enlighten me thank you

Hey Julia, thanks for writing in!

We’ve brought this up to Klook and they’re looking at making their listing a little clearer. Would you like them to contact you at the email you’ve provided?

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

India is one of the most important source markets for Thailand. Pre-Covid, nearly 2 million Indian tourists flocked to Thailand, making India the third-largest source market in 2019. Now, Thailand is looking to bring India back to pre-Covid levels.

The Tourism Authority of Thailand on Thursday hosted a group of more than 8,000 incentive visitors from India. The delegation is part of the authority’s goal of receiving at least 1.7 million Indian visitors this year, it said in a statement. 

India is one of the most important source markets for Thailand and is also the fastest-growing. In 2023, over 1.6 million Indian travelers visited Thailand , making the country the fourth-largest source market for Thailand. These tourists spent more than THB 63 billion ($1.7 billion). 

In 2024, through February , India ranked fifth among source markets with more than 300,000 tourists traveling to Thailand. In 2023, Thailand was one of the top international destinations for Indians, with Bangkok being the second most popular foreign destination after Dubai, according to travel agency Skyscanner .

Schemes to Attract Indian Travelers

Thailand also introduced a visa waiver for Indian tourists from November 10 last year till May 10, 2024, a scheme that had been put on hold post Covid. 

Thailand tourism governor Thapanede Kiatphaibool called India a high quality and high spending market, while explaining the reason for resuming the visa exemption for Indian travelers. The governor had then said that the country was evaluating if a visa-free facility could permanently be extended to Indian travelers. 

Apart from this, Thailand’s key strategies to attract Indian tourists include subsidy schemes for incentive, wedding, and celebration groups, the governor said earlier this year at a travel exchange . “Joint promotions with airlines and travel agents will be offered for repeat visitors and golfers,” Kiatphaibool added. 

All-Year-Round Destination

Thailand minister of tourism Sudawan Wangsuphakijkosol said, “I am determined to elevate Thailand to be a quality and safe destination that delivers a valuable experience to our visitors from India through Thailand’s soft powers and promotes Thailand to be an all-year-round destination.” 

Expecting INR 185 billion ($2.2 billion) in tourism receipts from India, Thailand looks to attract over 1.7 million Indian travelers to the country in 2024, as it aims to attract 35 million tourists this year.

In India, Thailand is marketing itself to various segments, including families, millennials, golfers, luxury travelers, incentive groups, as well as wedding and celebrations groups.

Beyond popular destinations like Bangkok, Phuket and Pattaya, the Tourism Authority of Thailand is also promoting destinations like Hua Hin, Kanchanaburi and Khao Yai.

Thailand also plans to launch special initiatives for senior citizens, women travelers, Gen Z, and LGBTQIA+ travelers. Wellness tours and adventure sports are also segments where the destination is planning to focus.
