Our tours in Kaeng Krachan national park

Location of Kaeng Krachan national park on the map of Thailand

Kaeng Krachan national park is the largest national park in Thailand. Finding the wildlife can at times be a bit more of a challenge compared to e.g., Khao Yai national park. But for those who appreciate the smaller, feathered and scaly creatures just as much as the large animals, the tours in Kaeng Krachan will not disappoint. The park certainly has a wilder feel to it.

Why Kaeng Krachan national park as a tour destination?

The location of Thailand's largest national park is one of the reasons why Kaeng Krachan is such an exciting place to visit. It is situated between two major biogeographical regions. The Indochinese region in the north, and the Sundiac region in the south. This means the tours in Kaeng Krachan provide the chance to see a wide variety of wildlife species. From birds to reptiles, and mammals to arthropods.

It might not be the easiest park for wildlife watching, but you will be in good hands. Our professional tour guides will do their very best to get you to meet the amazing diversity on your tour in Kaeng Krachan national park. You will love it!

Our tours in Kaeng Krachan are all about wildlife watching. We combine jungle walks, which are often more suitable for seeing the smaller jungle critters, with safari style drives which increase your chances to see larger wildlife.

Besides all-round wildlife watching, we also offer herping tours and birding tours in Kaeng Krachan.

We will go in further detail about the tour activities on each individual tour package page.

Orange-breasted Trogon in Kaeng Krachan
The colorful birdlife is one of the great reasons to visit Kaeng Krachan national park. The Orange-breasted Trogon is not a rare sight, but nonetheless a pretty one.

Where is the national park located?

Kaeng Krachan national park lies at about 3 hours southwest of Bangkok. The area can be tricky to reach by public transport, as it is not very touristy. You're best off traveling with a private taxi service (we can arrange transfers from e.g., Bangkok, Hua Hin, etc.).

The infrastructure to and in the park is good. Though the road past the first campground is for the most part not surfaced, one of the reasons Kaeng Krachan feels a bit wilder.

When is the best time for tours in Kaeng Krachan?

Seeing young White-handed Gibbons is always a highlight on a tour in Kaeng Krachan.

In the past, the park would close annually from 01 August till the end of October. But in 2022 the park management has decided for the park to remain partly open. This means our tours can take place year-round as long as our guide is available.

There are good reasons for each season to visit the park. Some species are fairly consistently seen no matter what season. For example, Dusky Langurs, Stump-tailed Macaques, and White-handed Gibbons are often seen on our tours in Kaeng Krachan. Same can be said about various resident bird species including the majestic Great Hornbill, but for these huge birds chances increase when there are fruiting fig trees around.

The forest is the most lush in the months May to November, and sometimes even in early December.

January tends to be quite cool, the hot dry months tend to be February - March, sometimes April depending on when the first rains arrive. This dry period usually means a bit higher chances to see some of the large charismatic mammal species on our tours. They will be attracted to the waterholes along the road. Even though you'd still need a ton of luck, some of our guests have been extremely lucky to even see leopards this time of year. Also elephants which are quite uncommon in much of the park, do reveal themselves a bit more often in this season.

The downside is that the forest is often very dry and not as attractive as it can be during wetter months.

From about March the chances for birdlife seem to increase when various species start nesting. This continues into the following few months.

Indochinese Leopard in Kaeng Krachan
Wild cat sightings are a real rarity in the dense jungles of Thailand. Still, some of our tour guests have been extremely fortunate to catch a glimpse of a leopard. Most of these sightings have been on morning or afternoon safari drives in Kaeng Krachan.

Generally in April the first bigger rainstorms will arrive and slowly the forest will become more lush over the following months. This is a great season with more activity of herpetofauna, arthropods, and as mentioned many birds like broadbills, kingfishers, and later on the pittas that start breeding. For certain species this will continue even into July.

November, and even into December it may still be a good time for herpetofauna as long as the nights are not too cold.

Beware, we have a very small team of guides in Kaeng Krachan, therefore it is best to book well in advance!

Blue Bronzeback in Kaeng Krachan
Home to over 70 species of snakes, Kaeng Krachan is one of the most divers places in the country for herpetofauna. This stunning and harmless Blue Bronzeback, Dendrelaphis cyanochloris was seen on one of our herping tours in the park.
