    Top National Parks You Cannot Miss

    Cambodia – Cardamom Rainforest & Virachey National Park

    • Cardamom Rainforest (Tatai & Chi Phat): One of the last great rainforests in mainland Southeast Asia, home to Asian elephants, clouded leopards and over 450 bird species.

    • Virachey National Park: Remote jungle bordering Laos and Vietnam – perfect for multi-day treks with indigenous Brao and Kavet guides.

    Laos – Phou Khao Khouay & Nam Et-Phou Louey

    • Phou Khao Khouay: Just 1 hour from Vientiane – dramatic sandstone cliffs, hidden waterfalls and the famous “Green Lake”.

    • Nam Et-Phou Louey: Known as “The Night Safari” – the best place in Laos to spot tigers, leopards and rare clouded leopards using camera traps.

    Thailand – Khao Yai & Khao Sok National Park

    • Khao Yai: Thailand’s first national park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site – wild elephants, gibbons and the famous Haew Narok waterfall.

    • Khao Sok: Ancient rainforest older than the Amazon, with limestone karsts rising from Cheow Lan Lake – stay overnight in floating raft houses.

    Cultural Etiquette When Visiting Southeast Asian National Parks

    Off-the-grid adventure with Laos Travel expertsOff-the-grid adventure with Laos Travel experts (Source: Internet)

    Respect local and indigenous communities:

    • Always enter villages with a local guide and greet elders with a respectful “nop” (Laos/Thailand) or “chumreap suor” (Cambodia).

    • Dress modestly (cover shoulders and knees) when passing through villages.

    • Never remove plants, feed wildlife or leave anything behind – take only photographs.

    • Support community-based tourism projects – your visit directly benefits local families.

    Recommended National Park Adventures by Legend Travel Group

    The only place in the world offering ethical “Night Safari” experiences – stay in eco-lodges and help monitor rare big cats.

    3. Khao Sok Lake Explorer (Thailand)
