National Parks In East Thailand

• There are 8 National Parks in East Thailand. Two of the 8 National Parks are Marine National Parks. [ Ko Chang and Ko Samet ]
• These National Parks are listed in the left column alphabetically and by Province in the right column. However please note that some National Park's boundaries cross more than one Province or region of Thailand so the classifications of where they are is not totally so simple.

• The Marine National Parks in East Thailand have coral ecosystems. The other National Parks in East Thailand have a range of vegetation ecosystems but the most important are those bordering Northeast Thailand in the World Heritage Dong Phayayen Khao Yai Forest Complex.
  
• The Dong Phayayen Khao Yai Forest Complex spans 230 km between Ta Phraya National Park on the Cambodian border in the east, and Khao Yai National Park in the west. The Site is in the Provinces of Saraburi, Nakhon Nayok, Nakhon Ratchisima, Prachinburi, Srakaew and Burirum. As such it is in East Thailand and Northeastern Thailand. Accordingly when looking for any of these three National Parks there can be confusion as to which part of Thailand they are in. Pang Sida is in East Thailand.
  
• The site is home to more than 800 species of fauna, including 112 mammal species ( among them two species of gibbon ), 392 bird species and 200 reptile and amphibian species. It is internationally important for the conservation of globally threatened and endangered mammal, bird and reptile species, among them 19 that are vulnerable, four that are endangered, and one that is critically endangered.
• The area contains substantial and important tropical forest ecosystems, which can provide a viable habitat for the long-term survival of these species.
• The area comprising three Thailand National Parks was made a World Heritage Site in 2005
