Zyte Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I want to spend a week or more at a national park in Thailand, do I have to pay an entry fee every day ? , that would be a lot of money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Parks vary but YES there is a charge for entering the park, and re- entering. If you go in and dont come out for a few days then obviously not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allane Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 You need to verify if the Park you are planning to visit has accommodation within the Park. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post steven100 Posted October 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2021 you cannot just stop in a National park for days and days. Check if the park allows or has accomodation, fees are usually on entry only, not daily. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, 100, 500 for five days unless you know staff for discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieH Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I have removed certain words from some posts. You are entitled to your view/experience, you are not entitled to be rude! Parks can and do vary as stated (as with most things in Thailand)and as the OP has not stated what or where, only general information can be offered at this time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I recall, the rationale was that foreigners have more money and can afford the higher prices. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget Pai, I recommend doi angkhang in Fang district instead Doi Ang Khang has no entry fees to enter the NP and there are a few camp sites where you can rent tents at reasonable prices per night. The only entry fees are to enter the King's Project, and generally speaking over 60's are free in most NP's in Thailand, but there is a minimal fee for cars. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the national park has accommodation or camping facilities then you will pay for the duration you wish to stay. Otherwise they close daily and you must leave.

Each year during high season I'd travel the Andaman staying about two weeks in every best snorkeling spot. The parks themselves are also the gems of the Andaman. I've even camped on Lipe, Koh Ngai which have no parks. I hold the record for foreigner camping consecutive days and total days in one year on Koh Tachai. My wife holds a similar record for Thai tourists. Normally, 2 weeks is my limit as supplies dwindle. I may hold camping records for Koh Rok as well. I would no longer recommend camping here as many parks as closed only day trips and the rest have very annoying farang lodged in for the season. Many other issues. It's done but it was great for me 2005-10 without the wife and 10-20 with her. It's now just a huge and expensive hassle. Torture lol. From the barstool or lounge chair no doubt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Untrue. We stopped into a national park when driving the coast road down to PKK. Can pitch a tent on the beach grass. Also at Laemsing last yr in the national park on the beach that we stayed at 1 yr ago, you can pitch a tent no problem. Got to pay the fee of course 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send your kids to a collage in another State and you pay more. Foreign university students pay more. Many amusement parks have discounts for local residents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
