Khao Yai National Park was Thailand’s first national park and remains one of its most important protected areas, recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. This tour is designed specifically around trekking — not just a quick photo stop — making it ideal for travelers who want a deeper, more active experience.
Here’s why this Khao Yai trekking day tour stands out:
After arriving at Khao Yai National Park, your guide leads you into the jungle at Km. 33, Nong Phak Chi — a 3.4-kilometer trekking route to a wildlife watching tower. The trek takes around 2 hours, giving you plenty of time to take in the park’s towering ancient trees and keep an eye out for wildlife moving through the forest.
After trekking, you’ll stop at the Khao Yai National Park Visitor Center, where you can learn more about the park’s ecosystem, conservation history, and the routes and wildlife found throughout the area.
Next, your guide takes you to the iconic Haew Suwat Waterfall — a striking 20-meter cascade made famous as a filming location for The Beach, based on the novel by Alex Garland. It’s one of the most photographed spots in the entire park.
From there, follow a marked trail and cross a wooden bridge over the river to reach Haew Narok Waterfall, the tallest and most famous waterfall in Khao Yai National Park. Its dramatic multi-tiered drop makes it one of the most rewarding sights of the entire trip.
👉 Two waterfalls, a real jungle trek, and expert guiding — all in one day. BOOK NOW before seats fill up.
