Kaeng Krachan Forest

Kaeng Krachan Forest, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Thailand, recognized in 2021, is a pristine tropical forest along the Tenasserim Range, celebrated for its rich biodiversity and rugged terrain. Home to rare species like the Siamese crocodile, clouded leopard, and over 400 bird species, it thrives in a moist evergreen ecosystem shaped by steep slopes and rivers. Bordering Myanmar, this ecological sanctuary reflects Thailand’s natural heritage, offering a vital refuge for wildlife and a testament to Southeast Asia’s ancient forest landscapes.
