Excellent! Well managed park with emphasis on safety and welfare of animals - strict on selfish rule-breakers. Had a fantastic time and saw lots of mammals, birds and even some reptiles thanks to excellent guides with sharp eyes!

My family (including 2 toddlers!) had such a wonderful time with Lek these 2 days. He was so patient with us and catered to what we wanted. We saw so many animals including elephants! Such an awesome tour to see God’s creation. We had lots of fun trekking and spotting animals that Lek found. Highly recommend tour! 2 days was just nice for us, if my kids were older we would have gone for more days.

Great tour, with great guide Ryan (Luang) who really gave us the ultimate jungle experience. He knows everything about the jungle and has a great eye for animal spotting. We saw nearly all animals living in the beautiful national park of Khao Yai. Two day tour is sufficient to see everything you need to within a relax tempo.

The tour was great! Our guide was excellent. Lovely and very informative. She took extra effort to find animals for us and made it a great experience.
We really enjoyed. Especially the night safari.
The registration and the customer service was very useful and responsive

We have spent two incredible days in Khao Yai Nationalpark.
A big thanks has to go to out tour guide Tata. He has made these two days unforgettable and has led us through the Nationalpark with his expertise and also a lot of fun.
We have seen many different animals (elefants, gibbons, hornbills, deers, civet cats, snakes, porcupines, and many many more). Tata was really flexible and has tried to fulfill all our wishes.
The organization throughout the whole trip was super good. We also booked a transport back to Suvarnabhumi airport and everything worked perfectly.

Alec our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. He was so keen to show us some rare animals on our wish list, that he went out of his way to do so. Many thanks Alec.
Very good tour overall.

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.
