Khao Ang Rue Nai Wildlife Sanctuary

The sanctuary spans 1,078 square kilometers of mixed forests, containing lowland evergreen, dry evergreen, and deciduous dipterocarp vegetation patterns.

Established in 1977, the sanctuary became a protected area at the western edges of the Cardamom Mountains to preserve local wildlife populations.

The sanctuary maintains educational programs that inform visitors about conservation methods and the importance of protecting natural environments in Thailand.

Visitors need to obtain permits and follow designated trails while exploring the sanctuary, which contains several entry points with parking facilities.

The elephant population has grown to 275 individuals, leading to strategic food cultivation programs within forest areas to prevent crop damage in neighboring villages.
