Situated about 100km northwest of Kanchanaburi, Sai Yok National Park sits within the Thong Pha Phum and the Sai Yok districts of the Kanchanaburi province.  Formed in October 1980, The park is 500 km2 in size comprising mountainous terrain.  This park was once visited by King Rama the 5th.

Within the park, major attractions include the Nam Sai Yok and the Nam Sai Yok Noi/Nam Tok Sai Yok Yai, two waterfalls of which Nam Sai Yok is more voluminous, and Nam Tok Sai Yok Yai the taller of the two waterfalls.  Nam Sai Yok Yai is situated closer to the road, and hence tends to be more popular.

The Kwae Noi river that runs through the park features rapids and some sand beaches, while the Tham Lawa approximately 20km south of the Sai Yok waterfall contains beautiful stalagmites and stalactites.  To the north, Tham Daowadung is an 8-room cave that is among one of the prettiest caves in Thailand.  North of that, the Hin Dat Hot Springs are an upgraded facility with changing rooms and bathrooms.  Both men and women are welcome to this facility.

Wildlife in the park include Kitti's hog-nosed bats, regal crabs, barking deer, gibbons, Malayn porcupines, slow loris and serow.

Mountains covered by forest where wild animals lives, I would definitely go there again when I will go back to Thaïland.

Beautifull. It's just a bit far of Kanchanaburi.
