What To Expect

Kui Buri National Park

After a one-and-a-half-hour drive, we reach the Kui Buri Visitor Center and transfer from the national park to a guided safari vehicle. We travel to the Huai Luek Wildlife Area and wait for the elephants and other animals to forage. We also visit the beautiful dry-humid forest and observe birds such as the Crested Fireback, the Indian Roller, and the Asian Spoonbill! Occasionally, we may also spot gaurs and leopards. Please note before booking: This trip is not a zoo visit. There are approximately 320 protected wild elephants left in this national park, and the chance of seeing elephants in the wild and on rough terrain is about 90-95 percent. However, we cannot guarantee 100 percent that or how many elephants you will see. Sometimes you will see them from a distance or just a few hundred meters away. There are also many other animals to observe, such as birds and gaurs. We will stay in the park about 3 Hours or sometimes until it is getting almost dark.

A good experience

I glad that I did the tour. Our guide Amp was an excellent how providing commentary on the way when things of interest came along. As we approached the park, the Mango Trees, Pineapple Fields, and Rubber Trees were interesting to see on the Farms. Once we arrived at the parks we drove out in pick-ups. You should understand that the main view is at 2 view points. We spent an hour an a half at the first one with a number of other people. We didn’t see much the first hour and then a number of gaur came through the forest and we also saw a Thai deer and a number of birds. Al we were leaving one of th guides spotted an elephant (or 1/2 an elephant, as we could only see the back). Bring some snacks for this part. We then left for the 2nd viewpoint where you only stop for 15 to 20 minutes. Here we saw a male elephant and a heard of gaur. We then headed out and stopped for dinner. Dinner was very nice and they had the food on the table as we walked up. This is a national park experience and there is no guarantee that you will see anything, so in the end it was well worth the trip.

We were picked up at the resort by the world's most beautiful guide. It was a long drive, but he was very knowledgeable and told a lot about what we saw along the way. When we arrived we were so lucky to get to see four wild elephants, one stood about 30 m from us. It all ended with a delicious dinner on the way back. Can definitely be recommended. Great day.
Tour guide was very nice....

Tour guide was very nice. Area is very pretty but we only saw an elephant very far away. I know they can't control that but was a bummer. One thing I think all tours should do is have a rule of people being quieter and a minimum age. No animal is going to come around toddlers screaming.
Okay experience

We saw some elephants and bison. I was expecting more of a safari vibe where we looked for different interesting things, but it was mostly a race to find elephants. We walked a bit on foot as well, and I was expecting more exploring from the car. Overall, an okay experience, but it didn't really live up to my expectations. The dinner was really good.
Good trip to see a bit of nature of Thailand

I liked the experience, especially the guide was sympathetic ,helpful and very kind . He picked us up from the hotel right on time and was very symphatetic. We traveled for less than one hour to Kuiburi park,but saw elephants mostly from far away ,not very close,from a distance. We spent around 2 hours in the park and afterwards went for dinner which was very good and included in the price. I recommend this tripml to anyone who would like to see some nature of Thailand and elephants in their natural habitat.
Elephants galore

Mission accomplished! Lots of elephants which is the main attraction. The trip and the guide was excellent with plenty of insight and seemed just as excited as us to spot the odd creature or bird. It’s not zoo so do not expect animals round every corner. The Thai meal after also fine. For half a day worth the trip.
