Khao Yai NP lies in North-Eastern Thailand about 3 hours travel from Bangkok. Due to an average altitude of more than 1000 m, the climate is comparatively cool. The entire almost 2000 km2 large park is densely forested with several open, grassy plains. It protects deer, gibbon monkeys, elefants and even a few tigers amongst other animals. This page focuses on the prolific birdlife, which can be discovered using a network of hiking trails. It is best to avoid weekends and holidays, as the park gets busy then. The following pictures were taken during two short visits in December 2013 and December 2018, they can only give a rough idea, of what can be discovered in this beautiful park.
