Il y a encore environ 320 éléphants sauvages protégés qui vivent dans ce parc national et vous les verrez sortir manger. Visitons également la belle forêt humide et sèche et nous pouvons apercevoir quelques oiseaux tels que le Feu à crête, le Rouleau indien et l'oiseau à bec ouvert asiatique! Parfois, nous pouvions repérer des Gaurs, des Léopards.

Parfois, vous pouvez les voir de loin, ou ils peuvent être à quelques centaines de mètres Il y a aussi beaucoup d'autres à observer, comme les oiseaux et le gaur.

850 Thb per car may 1200 in June, saw reviews, arrive early and share cost with others was the advice but arrive arrange sharing and then charged 1000 each couple, the person was questioned why as its 1200 per car but they insist 1000 per couple, not going to say it but there’s something fishy going on, saw elephants in the last 10 minutes after three hours, it’s ethical but take binoculars you will need them
Dear reviewer, you didn’t book your trip with us. Any questions about charges for the pickup car inside the national park should be directed to the park staff if you go on your own and book the car directly at the park. We only offer packages starting from Hua Hin, which include everything like transfers, a guide, entrance fees, dinner, and insurance. You should address this with the national park directly.
What a perfect day! M was flexible and allowed us to customize our trip in a way that worked for us. He was an excellent tour guide and we enjoyed spending the day with him and the elephants!
From start to finish, it was five star picked up at the hotel by our guide. Got a lot of educational information on the way to the park once we’re in the park. We had a spotter and a driver that took us through the Park very informational and fantastic. Once we were done after seeing wonderful wildlife elephants and.Guri and birds we went to an absolute fantastic restaurant on the way back. The best Thai food that we had had in two weeks since we were there. It was five star experience from start to finish. Pui our guide was extremely knowledgeable very helpful highly recommend.
We booked this private tour excited for the possibility of seeing elephants and our guide, Sam, arrived to pick us up at our hotel right on time. We thought he was great - he was very knowledgeable and was always pointing things out, even on the drive to the national park. At one point he even pulled the car over to show us pineapples growing! We learned so much before the tour even officially started! The first animal we saw was a monitor lizard and we were all pretty excited about that! Inside we saw one lone elephant (a male) from a distance. We also saw a gaur at one point. As the tour was wrapping up, Sam yelled to the driver to stop the vehicle saying he saw something. It was very far away and if it were just us looking, we wouldn’t have seen anything! His ability to spot elephants was amazing! Sure enough, there were several elephants trying to decide if they wanted to come out from behind the trees to the watering hole. There were even two babies! Of course, it was quite far away and we would have loved to have seen them a bit closer but you know, they’re wild so seeing them at all was amazing. My only suggestion would be to book the private tour. I had thought about doing a shared tour and I’m so glad I didn’t. At the lookout points we would come into contact with others and one other vehicle had teenagers that didn’t want to be there (glued to their phones, arguing, complaining they lost their internet connection, overall just being loud and obnoxious). If I had to share a vehicle with that negative energy it would seriously piss me off. Just sharing the lookout points with them was hard enough. So yeah, do yourself a favor and book the private tour.
Drove two hours from Hua Hin. Nice scenery and landscapes. No elephant to see. Just a hoard of jeeps on bumpy roads all meeting to a spot. No animal whatsoever apart from a few chickens and a couple of hornbills. I think the park needs some lessons from African camps on wildlife conservation and tourist viewing
The tour itself was very well executed, and the included dinner was excellent. However, Kui Buri is only suitable for tourists who have never seen elephants in the wild. At the beginning of the Kui Buri ride, there were a hundred tourists crammed together with just one elephant. By the end, there were a hundred tourists and five elephants in the far distance. We managed to get some good pictures with a 1200 mm lens.
Thank you for this lovely review. It’s great to hear that you were lucky enough to see some elephants. On some days—especially during the high season—there are many visitors, and most tourists hope to see the wild elephants during their short holiday in Hua Hin. Their visit also supports the many people who work as rangers and drivers in the national park, helping them make a living while protecting the wildlife.
Perfect guide with a lot of interesting facts about both the animals and personal experiences. We didn’t see Elephants but we did see Gaurs and a Black Panther through the camera lens.
Before this visit I had read comments that it was possible not to see elephants I was aware that it is a nature park but not a zoo I explain the guide at the beginning of the tour tells us yesterday we saw an elephant at 16:00 We arrived at a viewpoint and waited like all the other pickups for over an hour Then miraculously at 3:58 p.m. one of the guides shouts an elephant at the bottom about 800 meters This coincidence seemed doubtful to me but I thought why not In the days that followed I met several people who visited this park years ago and confirmed to me that the scenario was the same namely appearance of an elephant around 4:00 pm It's obvious that this park makes live a lot of locals between guides and pickup drivers but I think this tour is a business and a tourist trap For information and personal opinion
The tour was great. The guide very friendly, professional and welcoming. It was a great experience..
It was worth the 2hr drive from Hua Hin to reserve to see so many elephants. The guides taking us there and within the park was great.
