Khao Yai National Park and Elephant Ride Tour from Bangkok
On the way to the park, stop at a local fruit market where you can taste and buy exotic seasonal fruits like mango, rambutan and even the stinky but tasty durian fruit. Then board a traditional cart, pulled by oxen and enjoy a ride among rice fields before continuing Khao Yai National Park.
Follow the paved trail through the jungle walkways and over the bridge to the impressive three tier Haew Norok waterfall. After lunch at a local restaurant take a 45-minute trek through the jungle on the back of an elephant, before returning to Bangkok where your tour will end.

What an adventure.

The tour was well planned from pick-up to drop off. Seeing the country side, markets, farms etc. was great. The tour guide and driver were very good. The waterfall in the park was a sight to see and riding and feeding the Elephants was the highlight of the trip.
