Description

Begin your day with a pickup from MBK Shopping Center in Bangkok and set off on a scenic drive to Khao Yai. Your first stop is Wat Thep Phitak Punnaram, a hilltop temple home to a 45-meter white Buddha visible from the highway below. Climb 1,250 steps past free-roaming peacocks to reach the summit, where panoramic views of the Khao Yai mountains stretch out in every direction. After a Thai lunch in Pak Chong, head to Ban Tha Chang Emerald Spring, the visual highlight of the day. Water filtered naturally through calcium carbonate rock gives the spring its striking blue-green color. Kayak across the surface or jump in for a swim; it's a spot that still flies under the radar with foreign travelers, so you won't find big crowds. The final stop is Hokkaido Flower Park, a Japanese-style park with seasonal flower fields, windmills, and mountain backdrops that make for some of the best photos of the trip. From spiritual hilltop views to kayaking and flower fields, this tour packs three distinct Khao Yai experiences into one easy day trip, with return transport to Bangkok by evening.
