Background Information

If you enjoy treking and exploring in the wilderness, Khao Yai National Park in Thailand will certainly tick all the boxes. Deforestation occurred here in the in the 90’s efforts to replant trees and preserver the natural wildlife have only started recently. You can play a key role in helping to conserve the biodiversity of Thailand’s amazing wildlife!

Depending on the season, you’ll be involved with park rangers who’ll guide and direct you through conservation activities which are mostly centered around tree planting and related tasks. With the beginning of the rainy season the best time of year to plant, the dry season is the best time to salt the soil and help bait animals to stay within the park boundaries and provide food. This is physical work!
