What our customers ask about Thailand Safari Tours
What are the best times of year to visit Thailand's national parks for wildlife viewing?
The dry season from November to April provides optimal wildlife viewing conditions in Thailand's national parks. At Khao Yai National Park visitors can spot hornbills gibbons and macaques during daytime walks. Night safaris bring out different species altogether. For those visiting Khao Sok TourRadar travelers point to dawn and dusk as prime times for animal sightings near the water. A reviewer noted "the jungle walk and seeing monkeys in the wild was fantastic." Places like Khao Sok River Lodge and Anurak Community Lodge serve as convenient bases for wildlife excursions.
What's the typical daily schedule like on a Thailand safari tour?
Days begin at first light around 5:30-6:00 AM with wildlife treks or river safaris. The schedule at places like Khao Sok National Park typically includes morning canoe trips hikes in the afternoon and night safaris after dark. One TourRadar traveler noted "the early morning jungle walks were incredible for wildlife spotting followed by afternoon kayaking and evening night safaris - each time of day offered something unique." Lodging tends to be at nature-focused properties like Anurak Community Lodge or Elephant Hills Tented Camp.
What type of accommodation can I expect on a Thailand safari tour?
Accommodations range from floating bungalows on Cheow Lan Lake to well-appointed tented camps in Khao Sok National Park. Properties like River Kwai Jungle Rafts and Elephant Hills Tented Camp let guests stay close to nature without giving up basic comforts. According to one TourRadar traveler "staying on the River Kwai was a definite highlight - the floating lodges were unique and watching wildlife from our private deck was amazing." The focus is on providing essential amenities while maintaining the natural setting.
Are the safari tours in Thailand suitable for families with children?
Safari tours particularly in Khao Sok National Park work well for families. Most tours accept children 7 and older offering activities like easy canoe rides wildlife watching and guided nature walks. A TourRadar participant shared "our kids loved the jungle experience especially spotting monkeys in the wild and swimming in the river at Khao Sok." Places like Elephant Hills Family Tented Camp and River Kwai Jungle Rafts cater well to families with appropriate facilities.
What's the best way to photograph wildlife during Thailand safari tours?
Wildlife photography in Thai national parks works best with both wide-angle and zoom lenses (300mm minimum). The soft light of early morning and late afternoon creates ideal conditions particularly in Khao Sok National Park. A TourRadar photographer mentioned "the boat safaris on Cheow Lan Lake offered amazing photography opportunities - we got great shots of macaques and hornbills." Locations like Elephant Hills Tented Camp and 500 Rai Floating Resort offer good spots for wildlife photography right from their grounds.
