Explore Kaeng Krachan National Park

Did you know that Phetchaburi is home to the largest national park in Thailand? The Kaeng Krachan National Park covers over 2,900 km² along the Tennesserim Hills that created a natural western border between Thailand and Myanmar. It is one of the best places in Thailand to go wildlife watching as the area is well protected and the wildlife population continues to thrive. You can see all sorts of wildlife from birds which are quite common to even black leopard which is extremely rare.

Additionally, you can camp inside the national park, which will increase your chances of seeing these elusive creatures. In Kaeng Krachan National Park, there are 2 campgrounds: Ban Krang Campground, which is open even during COVID, and Phanoen Thung Campground and its breathtaking outlook, which is regrettably closed due to COVID and appears to be closed for the foreseeable future. In addition, the Kaeng Krachan Dam View Point is accessible by car and is a lovely alternative to camping overnight.
