Escape Bangkok for a full-day adventure in Khao Yai National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its lush forests, scenic hiking trails, and spectacular waterfalls. Explore the jungle with a local guide, discover diverse wildlife, and keep an eye out for wild Asian elephants in their natural habitat.

Explore Khao Yai National Park’s Jungle Trails, Waterfalls and Wildlife

Escape the busy streets of Bangkok and discover the natural beauty of Khao Yai National Park on a full-day adventure. As Thailand’s oldest national park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Khao Yai is known for its lush forests, mountainous landscapes, impressive waterfalls, and diverse wildlife.

Explore the park’s scenic jungle trails on a guided hike through the forest. Learn about the local flora and fauna as you walk beneath towering trees and discover the fascinating ecosystem of this protected wilderness. Keep an eye out for wildlife along the way, and admire the enormous strangler fig trees that make the forest especially memorable.

Continue to Haew Suwat Waterfall, famous for its appearance in the film The Beach (2000), starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Surrounded by dense forest, this picturesque waterfall is one of the park’s best-known attractions. You may also visit Haew Narok Waterfall, the highest waterfall in Khao Yai, where water cascades down three tiers, with the final drop plunging approximately 80 metres. Enjoy the views from designated viewpoints and capture photos of the surrounding landscape.

Khao Yai is home to a rich variety of wildlife, including Asian elephants, monkeys, deer, bears, and more than 400 bird species. If you are lucky, you may spot wild elephants grazing or moving through the forest. However, wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed, as the animals roam freely in their natural habitat.

With its peaceful forest trails, dramatic waterfalls, and rich biodiversity, Khao Yai National Park offers an opportunity to experience Thailand’s wild side away from the city. Join this full-day nature tour for a memorable outdoor adventure surrounded by the beauty of one of Thailand’s most remarkable national parks.

Know before you book

When will I receive my confirmation?

You will receive a manual confirmation by email with further instructions shortly after completing your booking. If you do not receive any email in your Inbox, please check your junk/spam folder.

Why is the lunch not included in the tour price?

We exclude lunch from the tour price to provide you with the best possible price while maintaining full transparency.

What should I do if I might be late?

Bangkok’s traffic is often notoriously congested, so we kindly ask all guests to arrive on time. We always recommend taking the BTS (skytrain) or MRT (metro) to a station near the meeting point.

As our tours run on a group basis, we can wait a maximum of 10 minutes after the scheduled meeting time. After this grace period, the guide will begin the tour. If you cannot make it on time, please let us know before the tour starts. If possible, we’ll do our best to reschedule you for the next available time slot or day, though a rescheduling fee will apply.

Can I change my booking?

We understand plans can change. You’re welcome to reschedule your tour date or time up to 24 hours before the start at no extra cost.

If something comes up within 24 hours of the tour, please email us at tours@wandersiam.com and we’ll do our best to help. Please note that a change fee will apply.

What is your cancellation policy?

Cancellations made at least 24 hours before the tour start time are eligible for a full refund.

For cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance or in case of no-show, no refund will be issued.

What if it rains on the day of the tour?

Our tours operate rain or shine, as tropical rain showers in Thailand usually don’t last long. If it rains heavily, we try to seek shelter and will continue as soon as the weather improves. During the rainy season, it’s a good idea to bring a raincoat or poncho. Please note cancellations due to weather are not eligible for a refund.

Under what circumstances might the itinerary change?

While changes to the itinerary are very rare, WanderSiam reserves the right to modify the published schedule whenever, in our judgment, circumstances require it or if we consider it necessary for the comfort, convenience, or safety of our guests.

    An excellent way to see something other than Bangkok

    Tanya was an excellent guide, and Mr Nuong(?) an excellent driver. We saw lovely flowers and countryside, water monitor lizards, many butterflies, monkeys and 2 species of deer, learned lots about Thailand. Be aware traffic coming back to the city was heavy.

    Sparkle in the Jungle

    Excellent, informative and stress-free. Anyone looking to get out of the cities and sparkle in the Jungle, this trip should satisfy that craving. Suggest light pants because there is a narrow path where things can do some damage to your legs, proper bug spray and large bottle of water because it’s pretty humid. When you stop for lunch, there’s also a lady that serves cold drinks est 50-70 (I got a yummy OJ frozen smoothie) so if that’s your thing bring some cash as well on top of food money (got omelette with pork and rice 60)

    Great trip!

    This was an incredibly fun and interesting tour. Thanya took us on a mini-adventure through the jungle and to some very beautiful places. We were lucky enough to spot a baby green viper, as well as many different kinds of insects and mushrooms! It was a great day away from
    Bangkok to explore some of the nature Thailand has to offer. Thanya was a great guide to have for this, she was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife.

    Hiking in Khao Yai National Park

    I had a great time. The hiking was very intense because we went off the track. But I loved it.
    No elephants to be seen through…
