Everything was very well organized, except for a slight misunderstanding about lunch. Definitely recommended. Unfortunately, we visited during a long national holiday weekend, so the park was really crowded. I imagine that with fewer people, it would be fantastic.

We, a family of 4, took a 2-day tour in Khao Yai. We had been to this park many years ago, but this was the first time with a guide. Our guide opened our eyes to what the park had to offer. We managed to see so much of the local fauna and flora, and loved every minute of the tour. Our amazing guide was very knowledgeable and went the extra mile throughout the tour. If you are keen to explore the nature of the national parks, then book a tour through the thainationalparks.com website. You won't be disappointed.

A truly impeccable itinerary. Our tour guide was both professional and considerate, leading us to encounter a variety of fascinating species, particularly hornbills, gibbons, and elephants. His passion for flora and fauna was palpable, providing us with a sense of security and allowing us to fully relax and enjoy the journey. The park's weather was notably cooler than Bangkok's, and even when we worked up a sweat in the rainforest, we dried off quickly once back in the vehicle. I would absolutely recommend this to friends.

My husband and I had a great experience on the 2-day tour! We got lucky and saw 3 different elephants and plenty of other wildlife. We also really enjoyed the pacing of the tour as well. It didn't feel too rushed or jam packed, we liked that we could take our time with the hikes and meals. We highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time over the two days with an excellent guide who is so knowledgeable and passionate about the animals and nature. We were very well looked after and felt our guide's enthusiasm for making sure that we explored and experienced all we could -responsibly and safely- in this beautiful park. It was a very memorable experience and we would highly recommend this tour.
