Tour itinerary
Here follows the itinerary of our 3-day tour in Kaeng Krachan national park.
Note: Often enough, our itineraries get turned upside down. It is impossible to plan in nature; the wildlife does not follow timetables, therefore the following itinerary is just a rough example.
Day 1 (06:00 to ±18:00 - 19:00)
We will start the tour with a slow drive into the park in search for wildlife. And afterwards, we go out for our first jungle walk of the tour.
After lunch at the park restaurant, we continue with some more birding and wildlife watching on foot on the dirt road along a stream.
The late afternoon, we do a safari drive at the lower elevations. Hoping for the larger mammals to show up. You will be returned to your hotel outside the park in the early evening
Day 2 (06:00 to ±18:00 - 19:00)
Today we start early, to do a long, bumpy, but scenic safari drive deeper into the park. Besides looking for the birds and other animals that tend to prefer the higher elevations, you will also get the chance to enjoy the stunning view over the vast forests, sometimes covered under a blanket of mist.
Even though there are no forest trails here, we will walk the road and look for wildlife. You will have a chance to see the uncommon Robinson's Banded langurs, White-handed Gibbons, Dusky Langurs, and more. And the area has some interesting birdlife too.
After a Thai lunch at the park restaurant, we continue to further explore the beautiful forest in search for wildlife. And finally finish the day with a safari drive in search for more wildlife before you will be dropped at your hotel in the early evening.
Day 3 (06:00 to ±18:00 - 19:00)
On the last day, we spend the morning looking for wildlife and birdlife by car and make stops at various spots along the road near ponds and forest clearings or other interesting habitat.
We visit the park restaurant for lunch. In the afternoon we walk a trail to a cave. And the last hours of the trip are spend on a game drive at the lower elevations of the park to try one last time to spot interesting wildlife before you will be returned to your hotel outside the park.

Great experience. Mong (guide) and Son (driver) were fantastic. We saw so much and I really could have done a week with these guys easily. Gibbons, macaques, lemurs, elephant, and so much more. I learned a lot. Look forward to next time.

Hi Ton and Tan:
I want to thank you for the wonderful week we had together in Kaeng Krachan and Kui Buri NP's. Ton (and Tan off-course), your skills as a wildlife guide are beyond every expectations!
Eyes like an Eagle!!!
We had a lot of highlight during our Tour (beautiful pit-vipers, Vine Snakes and many kinds of Lizards, Honey Bear, Porcupines and many Elephants, Gaur and other Animals, but most of all the incredible encounter with a huge Cobra!!!
We, Richard and I, had a wonderfull time with you both.
Everyone who wants to see Wildlife with top guides, must book Tontan Travel. The best!!
Tan (and Ton), wish you a great next 4 Months and a lot of succes with your new house.
Next time we visit Thailand again, we see you againTontan Travel wrote:
It was our pleasure to see you guys again after your trip 2 years ago. You planned this trip a long time ahead. Just on time, because not long after your booking confirmation, we made the decision to not commit to any new trips so we could start with the construction of our home.
In the end we were very glad this trip came exactly at the right time, right after the stressful period we had with the first contractor messing up the construction of our home etc. The jungle time with you guys was very pleasant for us as well, because you were so easy to travel with. Not demanding (apart from forcing us to find those pit vipers, hahaha; which we did ;-) ) and we enjoyed your humor, and the excitement to see the beautiful creatures that we got to see. It was like traveling with friends. And yes of course sharing that precious moment with the Monocled Cobra will stay with us for a long time as well ;-)
We hope to see you again some day in the future! -

Lieve Ton en Tan,
Ik vond het echt heel leuk bij Jullie.
Het was echt het hoogtepunt van de vakantie.
We hebben zo veel mooie dieren gezien, bijvoorbeeld de gibbons die elkaar aan het vlooien waren, en de bamboeadder. Van een giftige slang heb ik een hele mooie foto kunnen maken.
Ook hebben we neushoornvogels gezien. die waren prachtig.
En dan nog de schorpioenen die we in de avond gingen zoeken die waren echt heel mooi.
Het is heel leuk voor kinderen omdat je heel veel ziet en word bezig gehouden, onder andere door de gidsen die overal voor stoppen en overal wat van af weten.

Beste Renee,
Erg leuk om van jou te horen!
Voor ons was het ook erg leuk om zo'n enthousiaste jungle avonturier met ons mee te hebben.
We zijn blij te horen dat je het leuk hebt gevonden, en hopelijk zien we je nog een keer terug.
PS. Tan was zo jaloers op je stoere schoenen dat we stad en land hebben afgezocht om ze te vinden, en dat is uiteindelijk gelukt ;)
Groetjes uit de jungle! -

Beste Ton and Tan,
Ook via jullie gastenboek willen we jullie nog een keer heel erg bedanken voor de geweldige tijd die we met jullie hebben doorgebracht in Kaeng Krachan. Het was, zoals dochter Renee al schreef, zeker het hoogtepunt van een geweldige vakantie in Thailand.
Wat was het bijzonder om mee te maken hoe jullie allebei geconcentreerd door de jungle trokken, gespitst op ieder geluid en elke beweging. Freek in het wild is er niets bij! Hierdoor hebben we ontzettend veel dieren gezien: dusky langurs in allerlei standen (bungelend op een tak, met baby op schoot, etend in een boom...), allerlei soorten slangen en hagedissen, stekelvarkens, een watervaraan, motten met geweldige snuiten, wandelende takken, enorme kikkers, 3 soorten neushoornvogels en als slagroom op de taart een familie gibbons, die elkaar heerlijk aan het vlooien waren.
We vonden het fijn dat jullie voor ieder diertje, groot of klein, de tijd namen. Daarnaast hebben we genoten van jullie verhalen en goed gezelschap, we voelden ons gelijk erg op ons gemak bij jullie. Door de jungle lopen was een unieke ervaring.
Een ontdekking voor ons was het kamperen, we wisten niet dat er in Thailand zo'n levendige kampeercultuur was. En hoe bijzonder is het om wakker te worden bij een boom vol neushoornvogels of voor je tent te zitten met uitzicht op een familie dusky langurs!
We wensen jullie alle goeds en tot een volgende keer (want die komt er zeker!)
Peter, Anja en Renee![]()

Beste Renee, Peter & Anja,
Bedankt voor de mooie bijdrage aan het gastenboek. Wij hebben ook genoten van die drie dagen die we met jullie doorgebracht hebben.
En het maakt ons extra blij om te horen dat we ook vooral de jongere jungle avonturier onder jullie een leuke tijd hebben bezorgd; de jeugd heeft de toekomst en als de kinderen ervan genieten zal dat hopelijk in de toekomst hen helpen bij het maken van de juiste keuzes als het gaat om natuurbehoud en alles wat daar aan verbonden is.
Wij kijken al uit naar jullie komst, hopelijk zien we jullie nog eens terug ;)
Groetjes,
Ton & Tan -

Hi Tony and Tan,
We had a great time in Kaeng Krachan. I'm glad we did this as a tour as it would have been very hard to do this on our own.
We had a very pleasant time with the two of you, it is nice to see that you are still so enthusiastic about the park and the animals. We would have also missed quite a few animals if you wouldn't have pointed them out (including a leopard!). I also loved to get to know more about the wildlife and the jungle from you, that made it a more complete experience.
I never knew you could see so much wildlife in the Thai jungle. Thailand is a much better destination for ecotourism than it is given credit for.
I’ll let you know when we plan our next trip to Thailand. We still have to go to Khao Yai and Huai Kha Khaeng.

Thanks Roy & Maartje for your kind comments.
It was fun to explore the jungle with you, and also to learn from your knowledge and experiences in the various countries as biologists. And that together with sharing the fabulous sighting of the Leopard made it a trip we will never forget.
Thanks for joining us, and we sure hope you come back someday to check out the other great wildlife reserves in Thailand ;) .
Thanks! -

Hi
In the search of a wellorganised organisation with guide that would show us Kaeng Krachan national park in the beginning of february 2015, I stumbled upon several websites. Of all the e-mails I sent, only Ton and Tan replied. Afterwards I can honestly say that I am very happy that only they replied, because they showed us the park in ways I would have never dreamed of.
We were a group of four wanting to see fauna and flora, animals in their natural habitat, jungles in their original state...
the 3 day tour was very informative and unforgettable. We saw langurs (black and grey), gibbons, porcupines, vinesnakes, a giant king cobra, many kinds of hornbill birds, spiders... the camping was basic, but just what we needed! and we did have a lot of fun on the campsite and in the jungle.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner was all arranged for and everytime it was very good!
Ton and Tan gave us the feeling of being trustworthy, and afterwards we can definately say they were.
Apparently they don't only show Kaeng Krachan, but also other national parks in Thailand, so next time I will be contacting them again!
Ton & Tan, thanks for everything, this was absolutely amazing for us!
En volgende keer brengen we wat kaas uit Nederland mee :-)![nature at its best]()

Glad to hear you enjoyed your jungle adventure with us. And hope we indeed meet you again, and not only for the promised Dutch cheese ;)
Greetings to y'all!
