Khao Yai National Park - Issan
















Only 160km from Bangkok this was Thailand's first national park, but we visited in April (hot dry season) and it was quite frankly disappointing to say the least. The best time to visit is December (winter time) when you are more likely to see a wild elephant and the waterfalls after wet season are stronger.

The only wild animals we saw in the park were a couple of deers, monkeys and some birds.

We did however see some elephants at Park Chong, a small town to the north of the park. This town has several vineyards and resorts, however we stayed to the south of the park. At our resort there was this big lizard that hardly moved from it's cosy position in the roof of the restaurant.
