Hiking in Thailand

Thailand can offer you unforgettable experience and unique hiking and trekking opportunities. You can either arrange your hiking tour yourself or contact a tour agency to do it for you. There are hundreds of trails available for hiking tourism in Thailand including any landscape like picturesque beaches, untouched jungles, limestone islands, crystal clear waters, white sand, waterfalls, caves, etc. Most of the trekking trails are included in National Parks of Thailand list, so it is good idea to have a look in this section of our website.

Here are some useful tips for hiking tourism in Thailand. First of all, try to inform the national parks’ authorities.
If you are planning an overnight trekking, prepare some clothes like jacket or sweater because during the night the weather can be cool and in more elevated areas even cold. Long pants and shirts are advisable in order to prevent scratches from bushes. Check in advance whether the park you are trekking in have tents for rent, as not all the parks have tents for rent and you have to take your own. Other equipment like torches, batteries, plastic bags for garbage, ropes, cans etc. are compulsory for longer trekking tours. Bottled drinking water is available everywhere around Thailand, but it is advisable to take extra bottles with you. Pay attention for snakes as the forests in Thailand are full of poisonous snakes despite you can rarely come across. Take with you medical kit.
