5/5 Megaworld A. 6 years ago on Google
It’s
promoted
as
the
best
place
in
Thailand
to
see
groups
of
elephants
in
their
natural
habitats
and
having
visited
a
number
of
locations
throughout
the
country,
I’d
say
that
would
be
an
accurate
assessment.
According
to
the
park
guides,
there
are
approximately
250
–
300
wild
elephants
in
the
vicinity
of
the
national
park.
It’s
well
worth
making
the
effort
to
go
here
but
there’s
a
couple
of
things
to
be
aware
of
as
this
is
not
such
an
easy
place
to
find
due
to
confusion
created
by
having
two
locations
advertised
as
“wildlife
viewing.”
If
you
go
on
an
arranged
outing
with
a
tour
company
then
that
isn’t
an
issue
but
if
you
are
doing
it
yourself
all
you
need
to
remember
is
to
take
the
turn
to
the
right
off
route
#
3217.
That
will
be
the
first
sign
you
see,
take
it.
If
you
continue
on
to
the
other
location,
at
the
southern
side
of
the
dam,
you
will
end
up
wasting
at
least
an
hour
or
more
of
your
time.
This
location
is
the
site
of
the
national
park
headquarters
and
even
though
you
will
see
signage
saying
“wildlife
viewing,”
IT
IS
NOT
THE
CORRECT
LOCATION.
The
staffs
there
are
very
friendly.
They
speak
some
English
and
they
will
give
you
a
poorly
drawn
map
directing
you
back
to
the
correct
location.
This
map
is
hopelessly
inaccurate
in
terms
of
distances
and
road
directions
and
you
will
end
up
driving
around
in
circles
on
dirt
roads
on
the
western
side
of
the
dam.
I
was
fortunate
that
I
can
speak
some
Thai
so
I
eventually
managed
to
get
on
the
correct
road
to
the
correct
“wildlife
viewing”
place.
Once
there
a
guide
will
approach
you
telling
you
the
costs
etc.
The
price
per
person
for
the
tour
is
850
THB.
If
you
are
coming
independently
in
a
vehicle
you
will
be
charged
an
additional
200
THB
to
park
your
vehicle
in
the
parking
area.
The
tour
through
the
wildlife
viewing
area
is
done
safari
style
from
the
back
of
a
pick-up
truck
with
bench
seats.
There
are
three
wildlife
viewing
areas
along
a
7
km
dirt
road.
The
guides
are
very
helpful
as
there
are
some
positioned
at
each
location
and
they
keep
in
touch
with
2
way
radios
so
they
know
exactly
at
each
moment
if
there
are
elephants
in
the
areas.
Please
note,
the
wildlife
viewing
tours
are
only
done
between
2
pm
–
6
pm,
so
if
you
arrive
in
the
morning
you’ll
have
a
long
wait.
According
to
the
guides,
4
pm
–
6
pm
is
the
best
times
as
the
heat
is
least
intense
and
the
elephants
will
come
out
of
the
forest.
