Khao Soi Dao Wildlife Sanctuary

The sanctuary encompasses 744 square kilometers of mountainous terrain covered with tropical rainforest, featuring the Chanthaburi River originating from Khao Soi Dao Tai mountain.

The establishment of Khao Soi Dao Wildlife Sanctuary in September 1972 marked a significant step in protecting Thailand's eastern forest ecosystems and endangered species.

Local communities participate in conservation programs through guided tours and educational initiatives that emphasize the sanctuary's role in wildlife protection.

Visitors can access the sanctuary via Route 317, located 70 kilometers from Chanthaburi city, with basic accommodations available near the visitor center.

The sanctuary contains sixteen tiers of waterfalls, beginning near the peak at 1,556 meters above sea level, with the fifteenth tier featuring a natural swimming pool.
