Reviews from our guests

The whole experience of arranging our trip to Khao Yai from Bangkok starting via email to the end of our journey was very easy thanks to the team at Thai National Parks.
Emails with our questions were answered very quickly and clearly making the planning process simple.
The final price was also slightly cheaper than most other drivers/tours we found for similar trips.
And most importantly, the driver was excellent. He knew Khao Yai National Park very well and could communicate with us well. During the trip, we made slight changes in our itinerary and our driver was happy to accommodate us.
He drove safely and very well as he told us he had been doing the Bangkok- Khao Yai loop for Thais and foreigners since 2008 so very experienced. His English level was sufficient for our needs.
We would recommend going with Thai National Parks as the price is good and the whole experience was great 👍.

1-day taxi service is strongly recommended. We enjoyed transportation from Bangkok to Khaoyai, Khaoyai National park and other attractions in a day at a reasonable price!

Driver did not bring my parents to the main sunflower field. The Sunflower field they went to seems like all the sunflower has died.
Tour operator's response
Hi Grace,
There is not much we can do if the blooming faded out at Rai Maneesorn Sunflower Fields. The blooming started early this year which resulted in this. Once a sunflower field starts blooming, it normally takes around 3-4 weeks before the blooming ends. The safest time to see sunflower blooming in Thailand is from around first week of December until around 25th December. Sometimes it can start earlier in November, sometimes it can continue a bit into January, but not always.
EDITED; Normally sunflower blooming holds around 2.5-3 weeks. We were informed that Rai Maneesorn has multiple blocks and sowing done over different periods so that there is blooming over a longer time. This year and awkward situation happened that while the sunflower blooming ended in one block, there were still no blooming in the next one. The blooming on the last block started around 6th or 7th January and this means, this year, the blooming could continue perhaps until 20th to 25th January.

Very good service, driver is very nice and patient. He really make our day trip to Khao Yai a very memorable one. Thanks to Thai National Parks.

the driver, Boy arrived on time and the drive was overall smooth. the hotel area that we stayed is a congested area and on our way back, he took another route, a longer one in terms of distance but a shorter time frame to arrive the hotel, which we appreciated very much. he's flexible fo us to change one of our itineraries to the sunflower field which we preferred. he also took us to a nice Thai restaurant where the locals eat. the only disappointment was Khao Yai national park. we told the driver that we love walking and he suggested one of the waterfalls that requires 40 mins walking to the waterfall and another 40 mins walk back to the meeting point - we were delighted! however when we reached the national park, it was more like a long drive to a few spots to take pics than any walking required. when we asked about the waterfall that he mentioned earlier, he said the park is going to close in an hour! we were disappointed and he tried to compensate and offer us a trip to the chocolate factory. we declined as we are here for the nature.
Tour operator's response
Dear Waiming,
Thanks for your kind words and feedback. :)
Following taken from the message history between you and us;
"In Khao Yai case, we have limited service inside the park. National park visit will add +300 Baht to our price to cover the driver's/car's entrance fees and the additional mileage costs inside the park. We can only take you to two waterfalls, the visitor center and a cliff with nice viewpoint in the park. The nearest waterfall is in 40 minutes driving distance from the entrance. Your entrance fees of 400 Baht per person (200 Baht for children) not included in our price. Our driver will never act as a guide as they won't be allowed to do so, they can't take you to trails for hiking etc. The only trail you can walk in the park on your own without a guide is the circular trail about 800 meters long behind the visitor center."
Our driver can't take you around to the trail heads. You need a guide, more info about that can be read on Khao Yai National Park section of this website why. Our driver can't drop you along the roads so you can walk around. We will get in trouble with park authorities if our drivers start to act like guides.
Regards
