Hiking Thailand. Kaeng Krachan National Park.

Kaeng Krachan National Park is one of the best places to spot wildlife in Thailand. There are some big animals that call this place home. Too many to list here, but chances are you can spot leopards, bears, elephants, tigers, tapirs.......like I said, too many to list.
I was more concerned with the hiking and made my way to Bang Krang Camp, which is the best spot to find yourself a hiking trail. The plan was a 12km round trip which would take me to Pran Buri Waterfall. Due to police check points and other circumstances out of my control, I started late and only had 4 hours to get there and back, so it was going to be a tight squeeze.
The park is stunning and as you'll see, the wildlife is super easy to spot. Definitely one of my favourite trips in Thailand so far.

That place is impressive! I can even smell the wet soil 😍 A magical place where one can spend hours and hours enjoying the delightful nature. Great video, keep it up with the great content!

[@edgeofthemap4842]

Just after the rain there was definitely a great feel to the place. The soil was certainly wet as I can testify after sliding down it a few times on some of the steeper sections. Thanks so much for watching.

@@edgeofthemap4842 What city is this National Park in Thailand? Do you need a tour guide to go into this park? Is it safe?( like any tiger or lion to watch out for )?. I'm travelling there this February and thinking about visiting this place. Your response and advise will be appreciated. Thank you.

[@edgeofthemap4842]

@@AiJaiDeeSaMer Hi. The park is in Phetchaburi and Prachuap Khiri Khan districts. You can get guides but don't need them to enter the park. There is a long road running through the park and if you want to drive up it once you get past the campsite you would need an off road vehicle. I believe you can see leopards in the park quite regularly.

Hi. Thanks for taking a look and for the kind words.

[@traveltalesandteddybears]

These walks in the Thai jungle seem super relaxing! It is all so green and lush! And the drone shots out all very well in perspective. Great share!

[@edgeofthemap4842]

Thank you. It's one of my favourite passtimes.

[We~FeelFriends🐢] Such an amazing trail that is, You manage to cross those many creeks, Walking though the thick rain forest must be fantastic !! Great drone footage as well, New friend's greetings to be connected with you, Stay safe and enjoy your adventure my friend~~

Hi. It was a great hike. I only wish I'd arrived a bit earlier and got to finish it. Thanks for the nice comments. 😀

[@Autourdumonde1]

Amazing new video guys. Your travels are always super cool. Have a nice week end. 👍👍🚶😀

[@edgeofthemap4842]

Thanks so much. ❤

[@StephenandAndie]

how wonderful to have the place all to yourself!

[@edgeofthemap4842]

Yep. I'm not a fan of crowds. There are popular hiking spots around the world where the crowds are so big you have to queue in places. This was the opposite of that.

[@silentseekerYT]

Enjoying these hiking videos...brave fella for going it alone out there! Glad your persistence paid off after the disappointment of being turned away from the waterfall.

[@edgeofthemap4842]

I wasn't too worried on this hike by myself. Having the stream to guide me, meant it would have been difficult to get lost.

[@graceescapes4637]

Another great hike! Great capture of the monkeys jumping and the butterflies :-) And great skills in filming amidst the river crossing :-) Thanks for taking us along.

[@edgeofthemap4842]

Thanks for checking it out, it was another fun one. As it turned out I needn't have bothered trying to keep my feet dry because once I got into the path proper I crossed that stream about another 10 times, just having to wade straight through. 😀

[@exploreaswego]

There is truly so much to see where you are! I feel like we would get so scared to get lost! The fact that you can see tigers and bears and bigger animals would make us not want to go! HAHA. Great to see all the greenery and lush forest and all of the cool rivers too! Great adventure for sure!

[@edgeofthemap4842]

Lol. I kind of figure I'm unlikely to just run into a tiger, but yeah, it's not high on my wishlist while trekking. I'm happy with the small stuff - monkeys, birds. Nothing that can rip my arm off. 😆

[@oleksandrtovkailo4961]

Awesome video, thank you!

[@roost6625]

You have balls of steel my friend ..you couldn't drag me in there on my own ..😂..Thank you so much Amazeing CONTENT

[@karlsthailand]

Kaeng Krachan is rich in wildlife but a bit less convenient for the visitors than Khao Yai. Phenoeng Thung has been closed to visitors for a long time now, I camped there once but it rained constantly so no views for me. They opened a loop trail from Ban Krang a few years ago, no idea if it’s still in use or not. Nice editing as always

[@edgeofthemap4842]

Hey Karl. I really need to pick your brain about hiking out here. It's my favourite pass time, but it's hard to find information, especially as to what is open and what isn't and where to go to find hiking spots. It doesn't seem to be the most popular hobby in Thailand.

[@karlsthailand]

@@edgeofthemap4842 I’ll help if I can but everything is so uncertain right now and trails may not have been used much for over a year, it doesn’t take long for the jungle to take over. In the meantime one immediate bit of advice is to not attempt Krok E Dok solo at this time until it is officially re-opened.

[@edgeofthemap4842]

@@karlsthailand Thanks for that. Yeah, I appreciate the lack of use in the last year. It's just difficult to find info on what is open/doable at the moment. Don't want to drive several hours somewhere only to get turned away.

[@disco88100]

Only just found out about your channel but amazing content. Absolutely loving the jungle content. There is nothing quite like being alone in the jungle, is there. I am going back to Thailand in 2 months and can't wait to dip back into the jungle.

Yeah, that's why I stopped to film the little guy. He was holding 2 seeds or small fruit, or I'm not really sure what, and I just found it so odd. He started to rear up and make himself look big when I brought the camera closer to him.😃
