We had a great couple of days in the park. Our guide was constantly on the lookout for wildlife and ended up spotting some really interesting (and hard-to-see) things.

We had a fantastic 2 day trip in the Khao Yai Nationalpark, guided by Apple- a remarkable passionate tour guide! He is very Knowledgeable, speaks excellent english and spotted a lot of hidden animals. He knew a lot of details about the rain forest and the animals and explained them to us.
He helped us in taking wonderful photos!
It was the best experience in our 2 week’s holiday.
Everything was perfectly organized!
We can warmly recommend this tour!
Thanks you so much Apple!

Thank you for 2 great days in Khao Yai national park. We were extremely happy with our tour and can recommend booking here by 100%. The organization was perfect and the quality of the guide and tour are great. We had a very experienced, friendly and engaged guide that showed us many different species of birds, detected gibbons in the highes trees and we even were lucky to see elephants on both days of the tour. The guide was not only very knowledgeable but also equipped with a big binocular that allowed us to see the animals perfectly.
Everything went super smoothly from the first email exchange to the pick up in Bangkok to the experience in the park.
Thank you again :)

Our Khao Yai National Park two day tour was fantastic. This was our second visit to Khao Yai after a memorable experience previously. Our guide Apple was very knowledgeable, attentive to the surroundings and dedicated to making sure we experienced as many animal sightings. Apple was a great source of information about all aspects of the Khao Yai and Thailand generally, and we had interesting conversation throughout our tour. I recommend a Khao Yai tour to anyone who is considering a holiday in Thailand.

Very well organized tour, a guide that knew all about the animals and where they might appear, often we were the firtlst people at a spot, then animals arrived and a lot of other groups came. And we could have never spotted any if the birds or most of the animals with him. We felt super comfortable and enjoyed all the views and walks!

We had a great experience at Khao Yai National Park. Our Guide was so friendly. He really explained very much and tried to show us as much animals as possible (and we really saw a lot including elephants during the night safari). Thank you for two wonderful days.

Very friendly and enthusiastic guide. Good success in discovering birds and other animals. Great experience of the Landscape.
Khao Yai is too crowded on weekend.

Really well organised tour..especially with our excellent guide Lake who knows the national park well and where to see animals. Communication was great throughout the booking and tour. Would definitely consider booking again for other national parks in Thailand
