Khao Yai National Park is one of the finest natural attractions in Thailand. It became Thailand's first national park in 1962. It covers 2,166 square kilometers of the Dong Phaya Yen Mountain Range, which makes it the second largest national park in the country. 'Khao' is Thai for hill and 'yai' means big. Therefore, Khao Yai means big hills.
In 1988 Khao Yai National Park was recognised as an Asean Heritage Park. In 2005 the park was declared a Natural Heritage by Unesco.
The park area is spread across four provinces, Nakon Nayok, Prachinburi, Saraburi and Nakon Ratchasima (Korat). It contains a wide range of plant and animal life including elephants, bears, gibbons, deer, gaur, wild pigs, porcupines, civet cats and even a handful of tigers.
A road runs through the park and the central area has tourist facilities such as a museum, accommodation and food. The majority of the rest of the park is jungle and grassland.
