The oldest national park is Khao Yai<\/strong>, which can be visited even in a day trip from Bangkok. During national holidays or other popular weekends it can get busy here. The largest national park is Kaeng Krachan<\/a>.<\/strong> This national park is famous for its wildlife and many birders from around the world visit this park. The large tourist groups usually don’t come here, so it is much more quiet. Kaeng Krachan is in the west and borders to Myanmar. It covers part of the Phetchaburi and Prachuap Khiri Khan Provinces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another interesting national park is the Doi Inthanon<\/a> National Park which includes the highest point of Thailand on top of the Doi Inthanon mountain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n National Park passport<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Passport to Thailand National Parks<\/a><\/strong> is a souvenir booklet for visitors to collect stamps from the country’s national parks. For a small fee of about 100 baht, it serves as a memory keeper for each park visit. Travellers who collect stamps from all parks can earn rewards, including unlimited free entry for a year, a one-year waiver of vehicle entrance fees, and two free two-night stays for up to four people at selected national park accommodations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n How it works <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n The organisation that manages Thailand’s national parks is the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP)<\/a>, which is an agency within the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment.

The organisation’s mission includes the protection of flora, fauna, landscapes, and natural resources, though it faces challenges from issues like development and poaching. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The list of national park areas as published by the DNP in 2024 includes<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/thailandtraveltips.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-17-768x1024.png\")
