Pang Sida National Park, Sa Kaeo Province 🌿
November 12-13, 2022
🌿 Pang Sida National Park, one of the world heritage sites in the Dong Phayayen Forest Complex and one of the top butterfly-watching destinations in Thailand. The World Heritage Forest Complex, along with Khao Yai National Park, Thap Lan National Park, Ta Phraya National Park, and Dong Phayayen Wildlife Sanctuary, is rich in nature and many species of plants.
📌There are 2 tent sites in the park:
- The first site is at the park office and tourist service center. We pitched our tents at the first site. There is a large area with many shady trees. There are clean bathrooms and showers and a phone signal. However, there are no shops or food vendors in the park. However, there is a restaurant at the entrance to the park. In the morning, you have to walk another 800 meters to the entrance to Pang Sida Waterfall. At this point, there is a small shop at the entrance to Pang Sida Waterfall. There are instant noodles, plain water, fresh coffee, and drinks for sale in the morning.
- The second site requires a 4x4 vehicle to go up another 20 kilometers because the road is quite mountainous and requires an officer to go with you. There is no phone signal up there. And any food shops, you have to prepare your own supplies. The staff here is very kind. They said that the point above will be near the viewpoint at Km. 25, which is a wide valley with beautiful scenery. It is suitable for watching the sunset in the evening.
🌿Pang Sida Waterfall 🌿
In the morning, we walked from the tent site up 800 meters, which is a paved road. You can drive up. There will be staff to provide knowledge and take good care of tourists. When we went, the waterfall was very small, but it was still beautiful. Some areas can be played in the water.
The best time to visit Pang Sida Waterfall is during the rainy season.
That is, from September to October, the waterfall is very beautiful.
🌵 Butterfly Pong 🌿
It is about 200 meters from Pang Sida Waterfall. The road to go is a gravel road. When we went, we saw very few butterflies.
The time when there are a lot of butterflies is the Pang Sida Butterfly Festival, held every year from early June to July.
There are many activities such as a butterfly puppet contest and a butterfly puppet parade. There is also an activity to make artificial puppets for butterflies.
And many other activities
📌Travel
We traveled by van from Mo Chit, which was a van to Sa Kaeo-Aranyaprathet. The ticket price was 210 baht and it took quite a long time, 5 hours. 🥹 We told the driver to get off at Sa Kaeo Bus Terminal, which was dark when we arrived. But there was a kind-hearted local who volunteered to take us. At first, we thought it wasn't too far. When we actually drove, it was quite far. And if anyone doesn't have a car, you can rent a red tuk-tuk or a local car to the park. The price should be around 400-500 baht. If there are many people, it should be cheap and can be shared.
On the way back, we hired a car to take us for 400 baht, splitting it with the person we went with. We took a van at the garage near Sa Kaeo Bus Terminal. The garage we got on was the last van at Ekkamai Garage. The van fare was 200 baht. It left at 2:30 PM and arrived in Bangkok at 6:00 PM. Travel time is a little over 3 hours.
Pang Sida National Park is open every day.
08.00-16.00 hrs.
Entrance fee for adults is 30 baht.
Children are 10 baht.
