Animal Watching Towers
Nong Pak Chi Observation TowerThere are two wildlife observation towers in the central area of the park at Nong Pak Chi and Mo Singto They are just short hikes from the main roads. They are located near lakes, grasslands or salt licks that attract wildlife to gather. The better location is Nong Pak Chi Tower. Access to the tower is from the main road just 2km south of the park HQ. It is an easy 900-meter walk from the road to the tower.
The Nong Pak Chi grassland has a dry salt lick and a lake so it attracts many animals such as sambar deer, muntjac, elephants and wild boars. The presence of so many herbivores naturally occassionally attracts the attention of predators such as tigers, wild dogs and pythons. You can settle in at one of the windows and just watch the animals in their natural environment. You can take water but no other food or drink. Early mornings and early evenings are the best times to see wildlife.
