Visited Sai Yok National Park yesterday. Closed due to Covid. Quite a disappointment as the in-laws said it would be open. Stayed at a large resort, The Wang Nok Kaew Park View Resort. Many rooms, many bungalows including a long row of bungalows on pontoons floating on the river. We stayed at the end two pontooned bungalows.
Turns out the bungalows on pontoons are party central. A vast amount of alcohol was consumed by many, many, Thai’s with blaring music competing with the tunes next door. A good time was had by all and the next day hangovers were suffered in silence but not by themselves, saw many, many, many hungover Thais nursing their alcohol damaged bodies at the next day breakfast buffet. Prior to dinner and after checking in we did get an hour or so of a barge excursion. The barge excursion allowed participants a half hour swim in the dirty river water. THB 1,200pp including, breakfast, dinner and barge.
A nice price but not a recommended excursion. Unless of course you are into late night alcohol fueled partying with loud music and severe morning after hangovers. If so, then this is the place for you.
