The Most Beautiful National Park Near Bangkok: Khao Yai National Park

Khao Yai National Park covers an area of 2,168 square kilometers and is recognized as a complete world heritage site by the Asian Continental Heritage Organization. The park is only 130 kilometers from Bangkok, making it easily accessible and open for visits all year round. Visitors can enjoy various attractions and activities in Khao Yai, such as wildlife watching, hiking, photography, trekking to viewpoints, waterfalls, and camping. Additionally, the area boasts numerous cafes, accommodations, and restaurants with European, rustic, vintage, luxurious, and even minimalist architectural designs, offering different atmospheres. As the rainy season approaches, the morning mist around the viewpoints becomes even more enchanting. You can admire the layered mountains, lush forests, and rejuvenate your energy. Transportation Bus - You can take a bus from Mo Chit Station in Bangkok directly to Pak Chong District, where Khao Yai Park is located. Alternatively, visitors can take a bus to Nakhon Ratchasima Province and request to get off at Pak Chong, but you will need to take a Songthaew (a type of shared taxi) to Khao Yai. Train - Take the Northeastern Railway (Bangkok-Pak Chong), get off at Pak Chong Station in Nakhon Ratchasima Province, and then take a minibus from the Pak Chong District market to Khao Yai National Park.
