Khao Yai National Park

The park encompasses 2,168 square kilometers of rainforests and grasslands across four provinces, with elevations ranging from 400 to 1,351 meters at Khao Rom peak.

Established in 1962 as Thailand's first national park, the area transformed from agricultural land cultivated by local villages since 1922 into a protected natural reserve.

The park received recognition as an ASEAN Heritage Park in 1984 and became part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Dong Phaya Yen-Khao Yai Forest Complex in 2005.

Visitors can access the park through Pak Chong, with entrance fees of 400 Baht for international adults and 200 Baht for children between 3 and 14 years.

The park houses over 3,000 plant species and provides habitat for 320 bird species, including Thailand's largest population of hornbills and 66 mammal species.
