We left Bangkok about 8:00am on a Wednesday for a day reccie trip to Khao Yai National park. We headed for the northern entrance to the park, which means turning off at Pak Chong. From Bangers just take Highway 1 and then bear right to Highway 2. Khao Yai is well signposted.
There’s a public road bisecting the park – which makes it surprising that it was awarded World Heritage status – and you know your getting near the park entrance when you see the proliferation of resorts on both sides of the road.
We wanted to look at various accommodation options and thought The Jungle House was okay. They have a variety of rooms available in the 600-1000 baht range, plus they have elephant riding (300 baht for 30 mins) and a restaurant. They are only 3kms from the park entrance.
