Vacation Thailand - Khao Yai  ... by ash-hotel.com

Khao Yai (Big Mountain) attracts one million visitors a year, mostly from Bangkok, a three hours drive away.One of the largest forests in Southeast Asia, Khao Yai boasts four vegetation zones, spanning elevations from 100 metres to more than 1,400 metres: everygreen rain forest, semi-evergreen, mixed deciduous, and hill evergreen forest. In the forest and savannah, the park supports a wild elephant herd estimated at 300. Another attraction is a vast population of hornbills of various species: great hornbill, wreathed, Oriental pied, and brown.
Fifty hiking trails follow the migratory paths of widelife to scenic waterfalls such as Haew Sawat and to grassy savannah where elephants roam. Dwarf and barking deer are easily spotted, as are gibbons, langurs, and rhesus monkeys. Three wildlife observation towers make it easier still, as do nightly truck "hunts" where rangers shine sportlights on night-feeding herds. For those wishing to venture further afield, park rangers will serve as guides.
With the demolition of commercial resorts, visitors must settle for spartan dormitory accomodation at park headquarters at Kong Kaeo camp on the summit of Khao Kheow (Green Mountain). Bring a sleeping bag and heavy clothes. On winter nights the temperature drops below 12 degrees Celsius. More luxurious accomodation is to be found around the outskirts of the park, at Pak Chong, Prachin Buri, and Nakon Nayok.
