Kaeng Krachan National Park and Boat Tour

Back to nature in Thailand's largest national park (2,915 sq km), where rich rainforest covers rugged mountains along the border with Myanmar.

Besides its wide variety of plants and animals, Kaeng Krachan is a paradise for birdwatchers, with more than 400 species identified.

The Kaeng Krachan Reservoir covers 46.5 sq km and holds 710 million cubic metres of water behind an earth dam across the Phetchaburi River.

What the day looks like

1. We leave Hua Hin early in the morning by air-conditioned minivan and drive through countryside of mango and papaya plantations and rice fields.
2. We arrive at the Kaeng Krachan Reservoir.
3. We drive through primary forest with spectacular views of mountain ranges covered in deep green all year round. Along the road we look for primates, birds and other wildlife.
4. We trek along a jungle track.
5. We return to the reservoir for lunch at a local restaurant, then take a boat on the lake to see the scenery.

Season: this tour does not run from 1 August to 31 October, when the park is closed.
