We recently went to Kao Yai and did the Greenleaf Guesthouse trip too – but we did the full day trip. It was a bit disappointing, there wasn’t much to see, unless you’re into bird watching, which took up the largest proportion of our time during the trip.

Another participant of our trip did the half-day trip where you visit the bat caves the day before and was very enthusiastic about that trip too, but found the whole day trip – just like us – rather boring.

So if you go there, I’d suggest start with the half-day trip, and then, only if you want to see more, do the whole day trip. Of course, if you’re into bird-watching, then the whole day trip will be fun for you.

Sounds really good. Not expect natural park like this so close to Bangkok. Would try when I visit Bangkok next time.

Quality of tour guides vary, but luckily my Bangkok guide and Chiangmai trekking guide were great. The Chiangmai guide was ok for English, but really knows about jungle, trekking, rafting etc.

@new: I took them at sunset. I think the video is bright because I’m taking it through a telescope so it magnified the light a bit.

These are amazing shots! Nice that you finally got to go. What time of the day was it when all those bats came flying out? Because it seems so bright in the video.

there is this tree near a coffee plantation close by which is home to thousands of bats..when you take a look at the tree, you can hardly see the leaves..and once I heard that there was a gun shot somewhere and the bats suddenly started hovering..it almost looked like it had become night..unfortunately, i didnt have pictures

Lucky the leech didn’t attach itself to more delicate parts!

I want to go there.

The waterfall Leo DiCaprio jumped from in The Beach, is that the one pictured above?
