Noi was an absolutely, amazing guide. She was warm and friendly from the very start. She really knew how to entertain our 3 kids and make them laugh! We arrived at the park in an open jeep and were immediately surrounded by butterflies. From there, Noi knew exactly the best places to go to see an astounding array of wildlife. We saw wild elephants running right next to our vehicle, fished a scorpion from its nest, spotted many rare hornbills and took in porcupines, monkeys, turtles, lizards, gibbons and more over our 2-day tour. The food at lunch and dinner was delicious and we even got the opportunity to be taught how to prepare a delectable papaya salad. Noi shared what it had been like to grow up around the park and how to identify a number of the edible plants. Added to that we saw some unforgettable vistas from the peak, at the waterfalls and at the clifftops. The whole process from booking to payment to collection was smooth, simple and very professional. They were flexible with collection times to match our travel schedule. It was immersive, educational and an absolute highlight of our holiday to Thailand.

We've had a wonderful experience with Thai National Parks. We booked a 2 day tour of Khao Yai with a pick-up from and return to our hotel in Bangkok. Everything went smoothly. The communication with Thai National Parks prior to the tour was perfect.
Our guide was really friendly and knowledgable about the fauna and flora of Khao Yai. We had the chance to observe many birds, insects, reptiles and mammals living in the park including gibbons and elephants. .
The tour in Khao Yai was defintely a highlight of our stay in Thailand and I would recommend it to anyone.

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.

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!
