Vegetation types include tropical rainforest, dry evergreen forest, hill evergreen forest, mixed deciduous forest, dry dipterocarp forest, and grassland. The rich diversity of plants (about 2,000 species) astounds the newcomer. Towering trees draped in mosses, climbers, and epiphytes, tangled trunks of the strangling figs, drooping lianas and spiny rattan palms, delicate ferns, multicolored lichens, and an ever-changing array of fungi.</p> <p>Tropical Moist Evergreen Forest: Tropical Moist Evergreen Forest covers around 70% of the park, including its central area. Dipterocarps are an important species found within these forests.</p> <p>Dry Evergreen Forests: These forests cover the lower slopes of Khao Yai. There are a number of important plant species found within this type of forest, including Dipterocarps and Hopia. Bamboo is also often found in drier forests.</p> <p>Dry Deciduous Forests: These forests also cover the lower slopes of Khao Yai. The most important plant species found within Deciduous Forests include Afzelia, Xylia, and Lagerstroemia.</p> <p>Hill Evergreen Forests: This forest type grows above 1,000 m. In Hill Evergreen Forests, the trees are smaller and ferns, mosses, and epiphytes abound. Lithocarps and Catanopsis are amongst the most important species found here.</p> <p>Grasslands: These areas are a unique habitat, and provide a grazing area year–round for some of the animals of the park. Grassland provides a welcome relief to all the forest. The park mange (burn annually) the grassland to prevent trees from invading and to provide year-round grazing for deer, elephants, and gaur.</p> <p><b>Fauna</b> Khao Yai’s forests are teeming with wildlife. Wildlife is plentiful (46 mammal species, at least 74 species of herptile, and thousands of invertebrates) but often hard to see. Gibbons provide an excellent morning wake-up call with their mournful hoots. Quiet, patient walkers may catch a glimpse of these tree-living apes. Pig-tailed macaques are often seen on the roadsides. Civets, squirrels, porcupines, and wild pigs add a bit of variety. Snakes and lizards usually make their presence known by a rustle in the undergrowth as you are walking.</p> <p><b>Mammals:</b> One of the main draws to the park are its two species of gibbon - the White-handed or Lar gibbon and the Pileated gibbon, both of which can be spotted relatively easily. Many animals can be seen on the grasslands, including Sambar deer (large, grey-brown, often in groups), barking deer/muntjac (smaller, red-brown, usually in pairs or alone), and occasionally gaur. Elephants are sometimes spotted at salt-licks or on the road in the evenings (or even day) if lucky.</p> <p>Carnivore species include clouded leopards, marbled cats, leopard cats, golden cats, and dholes. The last conclusive record of a tiger was in 2005. However, there have been a few unofficial sightings since then, and it is possible that transient individuals still visit the park. Lucky tourists may catch a glimpse of these along the roadside, while dhole is sometimes seen hunting on the grasslands and near the Sai Sorn reservoir. Other mammals include Asiatic black bear, sun bear, serow, Binturong, Hog Badger, Pangolins, and Mouse-‐Deer.</p> <p>Nearly 1 million insect-eating bats live in a cave on the edge of the park. Drive about 3 km to the north of the Pak Chong entrance gate and take a small track on the left-hand side just past a temple. A few hundred metres up here take a right-hand turn and follow the track to the end. You can climb the hill to the cave. Please do not enter the cave. You will disturb the bats. Best not to use flash photography as this can disturb them.</p> <p><b>Birds</b>: Lots! Over 320 species have been recorded. To the non-expert, birds are often just mysterious whistles, trills, and calls, or a flutter of wings and a glimpse of color. Patience is needed, good binoculars and a bird guide. Roadsides, the old golf course, grasslands, and the watching towers are good places to start. Hornbills are quite easy to spot, and hear the "gak gak gak" laugh of the Indian Pied (often seen in big flocks near Nong Pak Chi Tower in the evenings), or the deep resonant "gok…gok" of the Great Hornbill (usually seen in pairs or alone, the biggest of Khao Yai's hornbills). Siamese fire-back and silver pheasants are frequently seen in the forest.</p> <p><b>Reptiles</b>: A few Siamese crocodiles (Crocodylus siamensis) have recently been found within the park. Some believe the crocodiles were released there while others believe they may indeed be a genuine wild population as this species can be present at higher elevations (such as the Cardamom Mountains of Cambodia.) This species is not aggressive towards humans and rarely grows larger than 3 m (10 feet.) These can be seen along the river from Pha Kluamai Campsite to Haew Suwat Falls (roughly 90 minutes), basking on the edge of the riverbank near the 'Beware of the crocodile' signs. If you see a snake, treat it as dangerous unless you know otherwise! Geckos are frequently seen catching insects on building walls and ceilings. Cicadas never stop their scratchy hum.</p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Climate">Climate</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="https://wikitravel-org.translate.goog/wiki/en/index.php?title=Khao_Yai_National_Park&action=edit&section=5&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Edit section: Climate">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h3> <p>The park's elevation (ranging from 100 m to 1,350 m) provides relief from the heat of the surrounding lowlands.

The nearest town to the north entrance is <a href="https://wikitravel-org.translate.goog/wiki/en/index.php?title=Pak_Chong&action=edit&redlink=1&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="new" title="Pak Chong (page does not exist)">Pak Chong</a>, which can be reached either via train or bus running between Bangkok and Korat. From here taxis, songthaews or motorbike hire can take you to Khao Yai. The south entrance is about 13 km north of Prachinburi- Head north on the roundabout on Rt 3077. A road runs through the length of the park from the Pak Chong side to the Prachin Buri side. The park is an easy drive from Bangkok.</p> <p>Buses regularly leave from Bangkok's Mo Chit bus station to Pak Chong (terminating in Korat)- the journey takes about 3-4 hours and costs 150 baht each way (March 2014). Minibusses to Pak Chong can be caught from Bangkok's Victory Monument.</p> <p>Nearly all trains from Bangkok to Korat/Ubon go via Pak Chong, however, this is much slower than the bus. This route also goes via <a href="https://wikitravel-org.translate.goog/en/Ayutthaya?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Ayutthaya">Ayutthaya</a>, which is halfway between Pak Chong and Bangkok and about a 3-hour journey (53 Baht, 3rd class no aircon, March 2014). When disembarking at Pak Chong follow the road to the high street and turn left to get to the centre of town.</p> <p><b>Pak Chong to Khao Yai:</b> A giant novelty giraffe sculpture marks the center of Pak Chong. The bus 'station' and Songthaeows on to Khao Yai can be found on opposite sides of the road, while the train station is about 300 meters south of here (look for the sign for the Hotel Phubade). There is also a taxi rank.</p> <p>A regular Songthaew service runs to the northern entrance of the park, you can ask to be dropped off at any point along the route. The journey takes about 40 minutes (price 40 baht, April 2014) but they only drop you at the park entrance. The park does not have an internal public transport system so you will need to hitchhike 10 km to reach the park centre and accommodation. Traffic is frequent and anyone with space will give you a lift; pick-up trucks are the best bet as you can just jump in the back with minimum hassle. If using this method you will have to further rely on hitchhiking once within the park as many of the sites are spread out from one another (but this is less stressful than it sounds and an easy way to get around.)</p> <p>If traveling independently, a motorcycle hired from Pak Chong or on the road to Khao Yai will grant you more freedom than relying on hitchhiking and is probably preferable if your budget allows for it. One line of the road is a motorcycle line so even if you're not experienced with motorcycles it is a rather easy ride.</p> <p>Automatic motorcycles are available at Honda (Google Maps coordinates 14.706668, 101.417039). The cost is 300 baht per day and two helmets are included. The staff speak good English. They rent out cars too at 1800 baht per day. The opening hours are</p> <p>Mon-Fr full day (until 5-6pm)</p> <p>Sat half day (until 12-1pm)</p> <p>Sun 6.00 pm (bike returns only, no rental).</p> <p>Remember if staying outside the park you will have to pay each time you enter.</p> <h2><span id="Fees.2FPermits"></span><span class="mw-headline" id="Fees/Permits">Fees/Permits</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="https://wikitravel-org.translate.goog/wiki/en/index.php?title=Khao_Yai_National_Park&action=edit&section=7&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Edit section: Fees/Permits">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h2> <p>Thai Residents:</p> <ul> <li>Adults: 40 baht (2015 fees)</li> </ul> <p>Foreigners:</p> <ul> <li>Adults: 400 baht (2015 fees). <b>Note</b>: <i>In the past foreigners living in Thailand were able to enter for the Thai Residents fee if showing a Thai work permit, driving license, or student card.

If you do not have your own transport it is easy to <b>hitchhike</b> around the park, just wave down any approaching car or truck, and most people are more than happy to take you if they have room.</p> <p>There is a single road through the park from the Pak Chong side to the Nakhon Nayok (Prachin Buri) side. The road is sealed and in good condition throughout the 60-kilometre journey, though there are some winding stretches of road. There is a 60km/hour speed limit in the park, and there are numerous speed bumps to remind drivers to slow down.

They are most easily seen in the grasslands around the many salt licks found within the park, with the best chances of seeing them at dawn or dusk. These salt licks can be seen at many points along the roadside or from Nong Pak Chi watch tower. You just have to be lucky. One of the best chances of seeing them is to take a night safari (organized through the visitor center).</span> </span></li> <li><span class="vcard" id="Gaur_Watching_at_Khao_Phaengma"><span class="fn org">Gaur Watching at Khao Phaengma</span>, (<span class="note directions">Around 20 km from Wang Nam Khiao, on Road 2072, one arrives at Klong Prakang in Khao Phaengma district.

These are best seen in the morning when they can be heard singing loud whale-like songs from dawn. A number of trails are open for tourists- some of which require a guide. Without a guide, the best chance of seeing Lar gibbons is to cross the suspension bridge at the visitor center and follow the paved pathway around Kong Kaeo Falls. The loop takes about 40 minutes to walk. With luck, Lar gibbons can also be seen along the road between the visitor center to the Ton Sai saltlick. A group can also be relatively easily seen on the paths around Wang Jumpee (scenic rapids). For Pileated gibbons, the easiest route is the well-marked trail from Pha Kluaymai campsite to Haew Suwat Falls. This will take about 90 minutes. However, you may need to hitchhike or organize a pick-up to go back along the road to reach your starting point. There are many more chances to spot them on the longer hiking trails, but for these, you should hire a guide from the visitor center.</span> </span></li> <li><span class="vcard" id="Khao_Yai_Jungles_and_Waterfalls"><span class="fn org">Khao Yai Jungles and Waterfalls</span> (<span class="nickname">Rickshaw Travel</span>), <span class="tel"><abbr class="type" title="voice">☎</abbr> <span class="phone value">01273 322 399</span></span>, <a class="url external autonumber" href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=https://www.rickshawtravel.co.uk/asia/south-east/thailand/trips/central/khao-yai-national-park-waterfalls-and-jungle-trails/" rel="nofollow">[x]</a>. <span class="description">Two-day trip of this natural jungle which is home to wild elephants, tigers, bears, porcupines, gibbons, snakes, and parrots.

The easier trails can be walked alone, a great one to start with is the paved trail running from behind the visitor center (across the suspension bridge) - the loop takes about 45 minutes. Another easy walk is along the river from Pha Kluamai Campsite to Haew Suwat Falls (roughly 90 minutes) - as well as pilated gibbons this stretch of river is home to the 'Khao Yai Crocodile' the park only known Siamese crocodile. It can be seen basking on the edge of the riverbank near the 'Beware of the crocodile' signs but do not worry Siamese crocs rarely attack people unless provoked! The 5 km trail from Mo Singto (starting near the Sai Sorn Reservoir) to Nong Pak Chi watchtower is signposted and so possible to walk alone but the route is not always clear. For the longer trails it's best to hire a guide. These include a 4-hour walk from the visitor center to Haew Suwat Falls and a trek from Haew Suwat to the beautiful Khao Laem grasslands, amongst others.</span> </span></li> </ul> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Buy">Buy</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="https://wikitravel-org.translate.goog/wiki/en/index.php?title=Khao_Yai_National_Park&action=edit&section=11&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Edit section: Buy">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h2> <p>Within the visitor center, there is a well-stocked souvenir shop offering typical tourist wares, such as bags, t-shirts, and most important, leech socks to wear while you're hiking in the jungle to prevent these creatures from getting under your clothes and attaching to your skin.
