More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You leave Bangkok before dawn, the city lights giving way to highway dark and then to a long green horizon. By mid-morning the forest climbs around you: a canopy of evergreen and dry dipterocarp trees that breathes humidity and bird calls. Your guide moves with steady purpose; the trail narrows, the air cools, and a distant roar marks the first waterfall.

Hydrate for the whole day
Bring at least 2 liters of water per person; refill options are limited inside the park and humidity makes you dehydrate faster.

Watch for wildlife from a distance
