TOUR DESCRIPTION . The Ideal City Escape Tour
Khao Yai National Park, proclaimed in 1962, was the first National Park in Thailand and, at 2,168 square kms, is the third largest in the country. The park is a mountainous area some 200 kms from Bangkok, straddling the borders of four provinces, although the greater part is in Nakon Ratchasima (Korat) province. In 1984 it was named an ASEAN Heritage Park, and in 2005 was listed (with adjoining Forest Parks) as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The highest peak in the park is Khao Rom at 1,351 metres. The watershed forms the source of four major rivers which feed many waterfalls throughout the park. The National Park is home to over 3,000 plant species, 320 species of birds and 67 types of mammals - including elephants, bears, tigers, gibbons, deer and wild pigs. The many waterfalls are at their spectacular bloom in the months from June to September.
The start of this tour is a scheduled pick up from hotels in downtown Bangkok at 7.00 am, with the first stop being the market at Nakhon Nayok. This is followed by a visit to the rice fields after which we travel on to Khao Yai National Park. After a break for lunch we have a walk along the paths in the mountain forests, and then go trekking on elephants along streams and rivers. The trek lets us view an unforgettably and beautiful sceneryalong the way. The minibus then takes us back to Bangkok with a scheduled return time of 6.00 pm. During this tour you will be lead by friendly and informative guides willing to answer any questions through out the day.
