Khao Yai National Park - Haew Narok Waterfall

With Ox Cart Ride - Elephant Riding - Authentic Cooking and Market Tour

How was it??????, Fantastic!!!!!!!!, from the time we were picked up, till we were dropped off back at our hotel, Our Guide was Peter and he was excellent, very informative and very funny, kept us entertained all day long, First main stop was a small market where he explained about all the different fruits and veges, etc, and we got to taste and pick what we liked, then onto a small local farm and an ox cart ride, after that we went back to the farmers house and they showed us how they cooked the food and that was our lunch, very tasty, and the farmer and his wife were just lovely, from there it was onto a waterfall, which was a bit of a hike down to see it, but well worth it if you are fit enough, (not recommended if you are not fit), after that it was on to the Elephant trekking which was the highlight of the day, sitting on the back for the first part, through jungle and creeks, then got to sit on the Elephants head to finish of the ride while the Mahout took loads of pictures...all in all a great day out,, highly recommended, thanks guys.

KHAO YAI NATIONAL PARK ...WORLD HERITAGE SITES IN THAILAND

Awesome, awesome, awesome! In spite of the high heat and humidity it was a very enjoyable and welcomed change of scenery from the city life. At the first stop, the waterfall, be prepared for the activity of your life......walking up and down steps made for minuscule feet. The down wasn't bad, but the up was torturing, lol; next was lunch where the tours members cooked their own Thai delicacies which was followed by the elephant ride. This was the best part of the trip......worth every penny. The tour guide certainly sealed the deal.

My Recommendation Tip

Do not miss Khao Yai National Park whenever you plan to visit Bangkok. I had a wonderful experience with nature...something unexpectedly unforgettable...

My friend and I really loved the experience taking this package. The opportunity to be in close proximity with the Khao Yai Park waterfall took my breath away...it was simply beautiful. And of course the chance to ride an elephant and sitting on its neck directly giving the elephant instructions to move...wow wow and wow.

Breathtaking view of the waterfall at Khao Yai Park. Pretty sad to know that tragedy happened here where some elephants lost their lives to the strong current of the nature...and thank God for Thai government for building strong blocking pillars to prevent

similar incident from reoccurring.

It was a full day lots of riding in the bus, almost 12 hours door to door. The tour guide was nice, personable and informative. The highlight was the elephant ride but the stop for lunch at the farm was good too. The Ox cart ride was a new 1st time experience, but a bit lame. The water falls was a good healthy walk but worth it.

This was an awesome day! Our tour guide was really helpful, food was delicious. I like how they take you to a Thai house/farm and they show you how to make some of the food. It was a cooking lesson and yummy lunch all in one. The view of the waterfall was beautiful, quite a bit of walking especially up and down the stairs so be prepared. The elephants was the cap of it all, my favorite part. This tour is a must when you're in Bangkok.

Even though it rained almost all day, we had a great time! The guides were informative and friendly - picked us up from our accommodation. The ride in the ox cart and preparing our own Thai Lunch at Farmland where we were welcomed by hospitable hosts, were great experiences. We then visied a beautiful waterfall - 200 steps down and back up, but well worth it and within the capability of anyone unless disabled. Saw macaques beside the road. The elephant ride was fantastic - especially being able to ride astride the neck of the magnificent creature. We rewarded her with some bananas on our return. A great day out and well worth it to see some beautiful rural scenery. Highly recommended. Lunch and plenty of bottled water provided.

The guide was very good and the tour to the waterfall, ox cart ride and lunch were good too. The elephant ride was fantastic. However, the trip to the market could have been better. We avoided the meat section and stuck with vegetables and live animals. There could have been some free time for us to explore and try some foods we cannot get in the US. Overall, this tour is recommended.

Well organized and pleasant, and worth the early morning departure. The guide was excellent, and made sure that everything was taken care of at all times. The tour packed a lot into the day, but it never felt rushed. The only complaint was the traffic returning in the evening, but that is beyond anybody's control. I do appreciate that the guide told us that it would save an hour to just take the Skytrain back to our hotel, rather than waiting an extra hour in the van. All told, well worth the time and money.

This was a very exciting trip. Our tour guide picked us up really early in the morning in a van and we headed out to the Khao Yai National Park. We also stopped by for a quick breakfast on the way there. His English was very good. The Ox ride was ok, but what more can you expect from an Ox ride. The rice fields around the Ox ride were quite beautiful and as we slowly rode by, they were a nice backdrop. The entire waterfall experience was amazing! They even provided us with cloths to put over our feet and tie a little above our knees, so that leeches wouldn't get into our shoes. On our way to the Elephant Ride, we actually saw wild elephants in the forest and of course, all cars had pulled over to take a photo of the elephants. We also saw a snake, dears and monkeys on our way to the Elephant Ride. Last but not least, the Elephant Ride was awesome. It was much better than I expected plus we were able to not only go through the thick forest but also though a river.

We had previously scheduled to go to a cabaret show in the evening, so pretty much as soon as we arrived at the hotel, we had to leave for the cabaret show. But the tour guide was kind enough to let us go up and quickly change. We then had to go pick up 2 more people and then go to the cabaret show. Just be careful about booking something in the evening as you may not have enough time to make it to both.

Fanastic day trip with a wonderful guide. The highlight of the tour was the Elephant ride which was amazing. This was great fun and although the mahoot will take your camera and take pictures for you, this tour would vastly benefit by having a professional photographer taking head on shots at various stages of the ride which can then be purchased at the end of the tour like a lot of other attractions do these days. It is such a memorable experience it easily warrants it. Ox cart ride and lunch were different but enjoyable. The visit to the waterfall requires a certain level of fitness but is definitely worth a visit.

The only downside to this tour is the stop off at a local food market. This should carry a health warning not only for the sights and smells but also the real danger of being run over by the locals on their scooters riding through the pedestrian aisles.

Had a nice time on my trip. The actual sights we saw including the waterfall and Elephant ride were well worth while. The tour of the Thai market was really made special by our guide's inside knowledge. Lunch was great as well. One thing to note before booking a trip like this is that it's a ton of time inside of a van and you're paying much more than you would if you waited to book once you were in Bangkok using a local company (that being said I didn't see any tours available that had all of these attractions together).

We really enjoyed going to the national park and having an elephant ride. The kids are still talking about it and we have lovely memories. The bush walk and fresh air away from the city was very welcome. The tour guide and driver were very friendly and helpful. The only thing we would have liked more of was some history and information as we drove to make it more educational. Thank you.

This was one of the best days of my life!

On the way back the tour guide took just my mum and I on a boat ride to our hotel to avoid the traffic, and took us off a stop early for a private tour past the grand palace.

This day trip was a great value for the money. The van picked us up at our Bangkok hotel at 7:30. The van driver was freindly and accomidating stopping whenever we needed. The small town market was fun and informative. Go ahead, try the fried bugs - they're yummy. The Ox cart ride and lunch on the "farm" was relaxing. The Park and short hike was easy and fun. Water and cool towels were provided. The guide was very informative and freindly. And of course, the Elephant ride was fun, especially for our 6 year old. The elephants looked to be well taken care of and freindly. (Hold on to your cameras. The ride is bumpy and a little wet.) This was a great get-a-way from the noise and dirt of Bangkok. Be ready for a long drive back to your Bangkok hotel as traffic is horriffic.

It all started with a stop in a local market. This was a nice and informative stop. We then went to a farm where we did a ride on a cart pulled by oxen. Nothing special here, but still very different and a lot of fun. The owner of the farm was guiding the oxen and he was very friendly, tried to communicate with us, even though he couldn't speak English. We then went to the open-kitchen where the owner himself and a woman cooked in front of us some traditional Thai good. That was a unique experience and the food was excellent. We could also help a little bit (mainly for photos), but they were the ones doing the cooking. Perfect lunch!!! Arriving at Khao Yai we went to see a waterfall (quick stop) and also saw some monkeys while driving. Unfortunately the time inside the park was very short, but I don't think it's possible to accommodate all these activities in only 1 day. We then did an elephant trek. This was great (my first elephant trek). Highly recommended, but note this is a relaxing tour, you won't have a lot to walk and exercise, but still worth doing. I enjoyed the elephant trek as it was my first one, but later during my trip I went to an elephant park in Chiang Mai where the elephants do only what they want (except when they are forced to carry us on top of them, but still, the keepers didn't have any hook to hurt them) and no seat on top of the elephants, as they did in Khao Yai (which obviously is not natural and I believe they keep it on the elephants all day). Not the perfect elephant experience, but having said that, I'm really glad I did it and would definitely recommend.

This trip is fantastic, a very enjoyable unique experience but once again I have to ask you to find a company that keeps to the law. As with the river Kwai trip, the driver was talking on his mobile phone and we also seen a terrible accident on the way home where people were killed. The law states even in Thailand that talking on mobile phones is illegal but the tour guide says they do not abide by it because the fines are so little !!! That really bodes well when I want to enjoy my holiday, see some fantastic places and experience unique things but most of all go home ALIVE. Please look at what is happening with the company's you are using for trips.

This was the perfect day trip to get out of Bangkok, see some of the beautiful countryside of Thailand, and do some fun activities! While I agree with other reviews that the ox-cart ride wasn't the most exciting thing, the rest of the trip more than makes up for it with the market stop (trying and seeing new things), learning how to cook traditional Thai food for lunch, exploring the waterfall, and, saving the best for last, riding the elephant! The tour guides were excellent, keeping us clear of the protests and being very fun to talk to and interact with, and although there is a bit of driving on this tour, it was definitely worth it. For those who party the night before, plenty of time to nap on the bus, and for those who are wide awake the guides are interesting to talk to about anything you want to talk about. Great time!

Thumbs up! A must-join tour in Bangkok. The tour was so pleasurable and memorable largely because we had an outstanding tour guide, Peter, who treated us like his good friends. He explained everything very clearly, and was always conscientious in making us comfortable (such as cold towels and plentiful cold bottled water). He treated us with various local specialty food items (such as coconut water, fried banana and fried sweet potato) as we went through the local market. He helped us to take pictures in the best locations. The elephant ride was awesome, and the lunch in the farm was superb.

This was also the case for the waterfall and elephant ride. The highlight of the trip has got to be the elephant ride. You do get to sit on the neck, which I would highly recommend you to do so as well. We reached bangkok around 5pm, leaving us ample opportunity to continue shopping around the city.

Tik our tour guide was really friendly and informative even took the time to call our hotel to let us know when to be ready so we didnt have to worry about contacting them! All parts of the day were great as were the people we did the tour with! Would book again in a heartbeat! Thanks again Tik for an awesome day from Sanchez and Meabh.

Fantastic fun. Local agents kept us informed of pick up times directly with hotel. Elephant riding, waterfall, cooking class - which I didn't expect all brilliant. Ox cart riding ok, tour of market not that interesting.

It's a fairly long day, might be worth taking snacks and drinks with you as the operators only provide one bottle of water

SO MUCH FUN! At first I was nervous about hotel pick up because my hotel was not on the list and I had read some negative reviews. However, all my fears proved to be unnecessary once the van showed up in a timely manner and picked up me and my boyfriend from our hotel lobby. The transportation was comfortable, our tour guide amazing (funny, had good tidbits to discuss about Bangkok, good English), and the day was so well planned. We made three stops during the day - the market, ox cart ride and home-made lunch, and the elephant ride. Most people enjoy the elephant ride the best, but for me I really enjoyed lunch. Food was so delicious and the couple that owns the farm were SO NICE!! Can't recommend this tour enough.

Also, our mahout took fabulous pictures and videos of the elephant ride for me and my boyfriend. He was great!!

The farmers' market was fascinating and the lunch at the farm made very pleasurable thanks to our kind and welcoming hostess. The elephant ride is an experience everyone should try to have at least once in their lives, no matter that it is (inevitably given the time constraints) rather regimented - it's still getting up close and personal to a magnificent creature. Our guide and driver were also excellent.

TOUR ACTIVITY on October 10, 2013

We spent two weeks in Asia and this excursion was one of the things I looked forward to the most, and the top thing we talked about when we got back!

We did SO much on this excursion, I'll try to remember it all. We started out checking out a real (not touristy) market a bit outside of town. The guide explained what all the things were and what they were used for, very interesting. Then we went to a farm where we did a bunch of stuff. First we did an ox cart ride. Then the owner of the farm gave us a little Thai cooking class (which was especially entertaining because he spoke no English so it was a lot of pointing and sherades and laughing.) Then we ate the meal that had been prepared (it was our best meal in Thailand.) Then we left the farm for the park.

We started off the park experience by doing a short hike into it (which included a steep set of stairs) to a waterfall. Then, driving out of the park, we came across a bunch of monkeys and stopped to take pictures.

After that, we went for the elephant ride which was definitely a highlight of the whole trip. At a certain point, the driver jumped off and had us taking turns riding the elephant bareback while he took pics of us with our cameras. It was a lot of fun and really more challenging to stay on then you'd think. And then you get to tip the elephants at the end by feeding them bananas. :-) We got SO many great pics from the driver using our camera!

I definitely would recommend this trip as a must-do for anyone with an extra day in Bangkok.

The experience was great! The selected visit to the coconut processing facility making coconut sugar was very interesting. The Ox and the elephant ride was very exciting and enjoyed by our group. The Thai cooking experience was not only entertaining , but also great tasting! Thank you for a great time!

This is not only a tour, its an adventure. The food with the local people was great. We were so welcome and received as kings.

The food itself was prepared while we were watching. Like all tai food it was very delicious. The activities were great, you start of by visiting a local market. We tasted some local fruits, and watched wat the locals are eating and buying.

Then the drive by oxcar, eating with the locals, and last but not least the ride on the elephants back, this is a real fun adventure. After the ride you get the opportunity to feed the elephants, and take pictures.

Then all thats left is the ride back to the busy Bangkok. This trip is ideal for escaping the hectic and crowded Bangkok for a day. Our tourguide was great, we really learned a lot of Thailand on this trip.

We enjoyed this tour so much. The tour guide was good! And going to the "farm" where we watched our meals being cooked got us more acquainted with Thai cuisine. The food was great! I never thought that I could enjoy Thai cuisine. The Finale of the tour was the elephant ride. This one is a must for anyone who visits Bangkok! This is an unforgettable experience. Thank you Viator!

This was an awesome day! Our tour guide was really helpful, food was delicious. I like how they take you to a Thai house/farm and they show you how to make some of the food. It was a cooking lesson and yummy lunch all in one. The view of the waterfall was beautiful, quite a bit of walking especially up and down the stairs so be prepared. The elephants was the cap of it all, my favorite part. This tour is a must when you're in Bangkok.

Thoroughly enjoyed our day out with friendly guides in spite of the rain. The lovely hospitable couple at "Farmland" made lunch a real pleasure. Would love to be able to keep in contact with them. The elephant ride, sitting astride her huge neck and feeding the elephant after the ride, were highlights, as well as the spectacular waterfall....don't be intimidated by the steps, it is worth it. Unless you have a severely debilitating medical condition or are extremely unfit, anyone can do it.
