- We visit Kaeng Krachan, Thailand's largest national park. The experience was absolutely incredible. Deep in the jungle we encountered great hornbills, dusky leaf monkeys, oriental pied hornbills, and a crested serpent eagle, along with more fascinating birds, tons of smaller critters and amazing insects.
Stay tuned for our next video, where we'll continue to take you through Kaeng Krachan and show you more of its beautiful wild inhabitants, included rare sightings of a white-fronted Scops-Owl and a critically endangered Asian forest tortoise.
Hallo friend. Beautiful video and national park. Great. My favorite nature is Pantanal. Greetings.
Thank you so much! Pantanal looks amazing🤩
Where are you from and what's your favorite national park?? Let us know!
Inspiring video my friend.We would love to do visit the park in April .We are from Australia.How practical to hire a self drive car from Bangkok to Visit the park?Is it necessary to have a 4w drive?How to get a ranger at the park entrance?Any good bird hides and places we should keep in mind?We plan to stay 4 nights?Hope I didn’t trouble you too much.Good luck
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed the video, and to hear that you'll be visiting in April!
You can rent cars in Bangkok, even at the airport. It’s fairly easy to do. Just a note to drive very defensively in Thailand if you're not used to it here, as there's a tendency for some people to drive recklessly, especially on the highways.
You could either stay at that camp (Ban Kaeng), or stay at a place nearby. We stayed at Banjankapor, which was great, and the owner was absolutely lovely, so can recommend it. For transport, we were in Dave's front-wheel drive Honda HR-V, which got us a good distance into the park to the Ban Kaeng campsite, however once we hit the main dirt road we reached a spot where a stream crosses the road (and one or two more after that) and we didn't want to risk it without 4w drive. However, we just parked off to the side at the first stream, crossed it with stepping stones, and then walked on foot from there--which helped us see animals we might have missed otherwise, like white-fronted Scops owl, an entire family of dusky leaf monkeys in the trees, an Asian forest tortoise, and a number of lizards and big orb-weaver spiders (some of those will be appearing in our next video btw!)
We didn't go to a bird hide, but there is a highly regarded one called Dap Toon just outside the actual park.
They may have rangers available at the gate. However, we’ve never used one. You could inquire about this at the park entrance when paying the entrance fee, or perhaps at the campsite area.
By the way, April is typically the hottest month in Thailand, so it'll probably benefit you to start out early each morning while it's still a bit cool!
Thank you very much for all the information.We are thinking of Baan Marka lodge and thinking of getting a 4w drive hire with a guide for one day from the lodge.We will hire a vehicle from Bangkok and would love to explore few areas near the keang Krachan park and few bird hides.Any information about surrounding areas?We are basically bird lovers so the primary intention is to photograph birds.Appreciate your help very much!
Sounds like a good plan! Another good place we know really close to Kaeng Krachan is Samarn Bird Camp, so that could be a good place to look into.
Malaysia Royal Belum
