Day three - Grand Tour of Thailand |
|
From Jomtien Beach
to Pak Chong (ride) |
|
|
Our tour starts today. Your suitcases with items not needed
will be deposited at the hotel. We shall top up petrol
first, ride over rolling hills for 200 km and finally enjoy
100 km ride through the rainforests of Khao Yai mountain
range.
Khao Yai mountain range is considered by experts to be among the world's
best national parks. Tropical moist evergreen forest covers
the central area and the rich diversity of plants is astounding to the newcomer. Tigers, elephants,
gibbons, wild boars, and clouded leopards are just a few of
the hundreds of species of mammals and birds inhabiting this
UNESCO World Heritage Site. Khao Yai is renowned for the
height and profusion of its waterfalls, where the swollen
tropical rivers surge over unexpected precipices; one of the
most enthralling to watch is the 80 m cascade at Haew Narok.
Almost 100 km ride gives us unique chance to get acquainted
with wildlife of SE Asia. We shall stop at Heo
Narok waterfall first. The second waterfall was a scene of a
jump in movie "The Beach". There will be a good chance to see monkeys,
hornbills, a bear, sambar deer, gaur and wild elephants, less chance to see tigers. There are many good places with
panoramic views along the way. Accommodation with breakfast
in Pak Chong.
