Kaeng Krachan National Park Launches Wildlife Watching Route at Huai Khomkrit
Kaeng Krachan National Park has introduced a new wildlife observation route at Huai Khomkrit grassland to promote sustainable ecotourism.
As of November 1, 2026, Kaeng Krachan National Park in Phetchaburi province has officially opened a new wildlife watching route at the Huai Khomkrit grassland. According to Mongkol Chaipakdee, head of the national park, this initiative aims to provide visitors with an opportunity to observe wildlife in their natural habitat while ensuring the protection of the local ecosystem. The 20-kilometer route from Ban Krang Camp is recognized for its high biodiversity and serves as a critical habitat for various animal species. To minimize environmental impact, the park has implemented strict management measures. Access is limited to a specific number of visitors per day, and all participants must register in advance at the Ban Krang Camp visitor center. Tours are conducted in two daily sessions: a morning round from 5:00 AM to 8:00 AM and an afternoon round starting at 3:00 PM. This project serves as a study to evaluate the area's carrying capacity and to refine sustainable tourism practices. Travelers interested in this experience should note that the limited capacity requires early planning. While the park has established these safety and management protocols, further details regarding specific wildlife sightings or potential seasonal closures remain subject to ongoing park assessments.
