Trail reviews for Khao Yai National Park

Easy to park

I would consider it moderate, because few areas need more attention than other “easy” trails in Khao Yai. Don’t have big expectations from the waterfall, but the one-way route is nice, very immersive in the forest. Kids can do it, but need be careful (I would suggest families with young kids to hide a guide and to have a back up transportation at the destination).
