Dong Yai Wildlife Sanctuary, Wildlife sanctuary in Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Thailand

The protected area contains tropical forests, grasslands, and rivers that support a wide range of animal species including elephants and gibbons.

The sanctuary received its official protection status in 1993 to counter the effects of logging and land encroachment in the Nakhon Ratchasima region.

The sanctuary forms part of the Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai Forest Complex, which gained UNESCO World Heritage status in 2005 for its natural significance.

Visitors can access designated hiking trails throughout the sanctuary while following specific guidelines to maintain minimal impact on the natural environment.

The sanctuary provides habitats for nine distinct animal species and three endangered species, including tigers, wild elephants, and banteng cattle.
