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

We did the 2 day wildlife tour in Khao Yai and it was amazing. The tour far exceeded our expectations and was the highlight of our 6 week trip. We saw loads of wildlife including elephants at 4 different points, gibbons, loads of birds including hornbill and buffy owls and much much more. Our guide Noi was amazing, really knowledgeable about the animals and knew where the best spots were, as well as helping to get us away from some of the busier parts of the park. She was really friendly and tailored the tour to our interests. She was also very enthusiastic about the wildlife which was great, she was just as excited spotting elephants as we were. Our driver Tonkra was also brilliant. Really friendly and couldn't do enough to help, really going above and beyond. Overall 10/10, definitely worth it

Highly recommend. From the beginning it was very easy to communicate with the company. They were very responsive to my questions and clearly laid out what they would provide, how much it would cost, and what I should expect. They helped me arrange travel to/from Bangkok. Both times the driver was early. The guide and driver for the tour had keen eyes and ears and found many different animals for us to see through their telescope. The driver seemed to always find the best spot for viewing. They were also prompt. The guide was very knowledgeable about the area as well as various plant and animal species we saw along the way. I learned a lot more than I was expecting. What I would change is to skip the night safari-it sounded awesome but was not worth the time. We saw one animal, a fox, that we didn’t see in the day. Instead, I’d visit the bat cave at the end of the first day. The second day was basically over after lunch as we killed time from 1-6 waiting for the bat cave. At 4 we decided we’d had enough riding around in the bed of the pickup and asked to be taken home early. 1.5 days with bat cave on day 1 would have been better than trying to stretch it into two full days.

We had an amazing time during our tour. Our guide went above and beyond to make our trip the best possible. Everything was perfect and we would highly recommend him to anyone visiting the park.

Very good trip with a good mix of 'car' safari and hiking.
Exellent guide!
The night (evening) safari turned out to be a pretty crowded experience with too many cars making noise and smoke. In a way an exiting idea, but too many cars.
