Situated only 3 miles from Bangkok, Khao Yai National Park is made up of rainforests, evergreen forests, and open grasslands. Wildlife sightings are rare, but visitors can enjoy the bat cave and the many beautiful waterfalls. Some of the park's hiking trails can only be accessed in the company of a guide, but more than 30 miles of trails are open to visitors with or without guides. There are several bungalows within the park, but these need to be booked well in advance and most guests stay in one of the hotels or guesthouses located right outside of the park.
