National Parks – Thailand’s Hidden Gems

In 2020, there were a total of 133 national parks covering 63,532.49 km². They are spread across the country and offer jungle, mountains, dry savannahs and coral reefs in crystal-clear waters. At least one national park is easy to reach from every holiday destination, whether you’re in Bangkok or Chiang Mai, Koh Chang or Phuket, Pattaya or Hua Hin. There are numerous operators offering short trips to the parks, as well as proper trekking tours lasting several days. I’ve put together a selection of parks, with details on how to get there, accommodation, trails and tour operators.
