The first thing to visit in Khao Yai is the national park. But not just by car or van/ You have to go on a trek into the forest with a guide, to go deep into the jungle. You will see many wild animals there, especially if the guide is good. There are also a few place of interest to visit outside the park. Natural springs with clear water with intense blue reflections, amazing temples including a truly surprising and fascinating one, you can go see the millions of bats flying out from the Bat Cave every evening at sunset, visit vineyards and taste wine, browse a gallery of a Modern Art museum. In short, there is plenty to do and see in and around Khao Yai National Park.

It is the most visited national park in Thailand. And it is one of the most beautiful national parks in the world as its listing as UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005 confirms. It is an amazing place for nature, fauna, and flora lovers. One of the best places to trek in the jungle and see wildlife and it is not so far from Bangkok. Generally, people visit it from Pak Chong, the city closest to its main entrance, the Northern entrance.

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.
