04 N AT U R E Rafting at Khek River In Thailand you’ll ﬁnd nature activities as gentle as watching butterﬂies or as adrenaline-pumping as white-water rafting With 96 national parks, 48 wildlife sanctuaries and non-hunting areas, forest parks, watershed reserves and biosphere reserves, Thailand is a leading destination for a variety of nature-based activities. Camping Camping isn’t quite as strenuous as trekking, and is suitable for almost all tourists who wish to get a little closer to nature. Most national parks provide overnight accommodation and camping facilities. If you plan to stay at on-site accommodation, make reservations at least one month in advance by contacting: National Parks Division of the Forestry Department: www.dnp.go.th Trekking Trekking brings active tourists up close to Thailand’s natural attractions. Treks can range from a single daylight excursion to physically challenging adventures of a week or more. Preparation is key. Make sure you have proper shoes or boots, plenty of water, sunscreen and insect repellent. It’s also important to assess your physical condition realistically to be sure you can handle the exertions of the trek. Khao Yai in Central Thailand is the most popular national park for trekking. Northern trekking has much to offer, including the orchid farms and gardens along Mae Sa Valley, Doi Inthanon, and Sankhamphaeng’s villages of the hill people and their handicraft centers. Even further north, Chiang Rai is the home of ethnic hill people in distinctive costumes, proud to show visitors their age-old customs. In the South, Thale Ban National Park has nearly 120 square miles of rainforest.

If you really want to push the envelope, you can seek out venues for more challenging activities such as tower jumping, parachuting, paint ball, bungee jumping and ATV excursions. (See “Trekking” for helpful web sites.) of birds. Kaeng Krachan national park’s 250 species include the great hornbill and grey peacock. Thailand’s bird varieties can be seen all year round. The best time for watching is December to February. March to May is also a good time as it is the breeding season for native species. April to May is Thailand’s hottest period and a good time to sight birds on their spring return passage. June to August is Thailand’s wettest season, when the forest is most lush. During this period migration is largely over, but one may still sight some rare species. September to November is a good time to observe migrating waders and raptors.

Another prime viewing area is the mudﬂats and wetlands along the coast, particularly in Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park. All in all, Thailand has over 1,200 butterﬂy species. National Parks of Thailand: www.dnp.go.th/parkreserve/ Bird Watching Thailand has several prime areas for birdwatching. Chiang Mai is convenient to Doi Inthanon, Thailand’s highest peak and home to many rare species. Khao Yai is another signiﬁcant destination.
