We hired a guide, which is not obligated, but I would recommend it. It’s a very big park and it sometimes happens that people get lost in the park. With wild elephants and tigers living their, you don’t want to stay overnight in the forest.

Our guide was very friendly and tried to explain us as much as he could. He knew a lot, but we were a very odd group. There were Thai, a Filipina, an American and my husband and I (Belgian). It wasn’t the most easy task for our guide. He managed to explain us about the animals, flowers, which trees can provide you water in the wild, and many other interesting things.
