KAENG KRACHAN NATIONAL PARK
A national park with diverse flora and fauna, offering every type of relief: mountains, valleys, caves...
This national park is the largest in the kingdom. The forest, almost 1,000 years old, has an undeniable charm. It covers an area of 2,915 km², with a rich diversity of flora and fauna. Stretching along the Burmese border, this territory offers every type of relief: mountains, valleys, forests, waterfalls, caves, lakes and rivers form a veritable wilderness sanctuary. In addition to the inevitable macaques, elephants, gibbons, flying squirrels, tapirs, Asiatic bears and, if you're lucky, tigers and black panthers, which have found one of their last refuges here.
Entrance is via Sam Yot. A 6-hour round-trip hike takes you to Thor Thip Falls, with its panoramic views. The park offers a wide variety of landscapes. From waterfalls to caves, from mountains (Phanoeng Thung rises to 1,207 m) to forests and lakes. Particularly popular are the Pa La-U waterfalls in the south of the park.
Abundant rainfall waters the park from June to October (beware of malaria), and a huge reservoir has been built to irrigate a large part of the peninsula all year round. Spend a pleasant day hiking, swimming and picnicking in magnificent surroundings, filled with butterflies (especially in the morning). Be sure to bring good shoes, as you're in the middle of nature, and it's wild! You'll also need to bring provisions.
