Khao Yai became Thailand’s first official national park on September 18, 1962. It is situated in the provinces of Nakorn Ratchasima, Sara Buri, Nakorn Nayok and Prachin Buri. Khao Yai is a part of the huge evergreen forest in Don Phaya Yen. Khao Yai area covered a total of 2,168 square kilometers or 1,355,396 rai.
Being part of the huge evergreen forest, Don Phaya Fai (later renamed as Don Phaya Yen) dominates the high plateau of Issan and the central plains. Khao Yai has maintained its fertile state despite the surrounding area development. It is an important source of many rivers, and home to a variety of plants and wildlife. As a result, Khao Yai has long been renowned as one of the country?s most popular natural attractions for both Thais and foreign visitors and regarded as an Asian Heritage Park.
