Ban Tha Chang Spring
This small shaded stretch of river near Khao Yai National Park is a great spot for swimming in a natural pool. The water here is crystal clear with an intense sapphire blue. This is due to a natural phenomenon as the one found at Krabi's Emerald Pool.
Khao Yai Bat Cave
We come to this cave for the amazing spectacle of the millions of bats that live there flying out at nightfall, then returning in the early morning, always in a long, endless black cloud. An impressive nature spectacle that lasts more than 2 hours.
