Khao Khiao-Khao Chomphu Wildlife Sanctuary

Khao Khiao-Khao Chomphu Wildlife Sanctuary is a protected forest area covering about 145 sq km in the Khao Khiao mountain range in Si Racha District, Chonburi Province, eastern Thailand. Established in 1974, it preserves the last large intact forest in Chonburi and serves as an important watershed. The sanctuary is known for its evergreen and dry evergreen forest, diverse wildlife and birdlife, and its location adjacent to Khao Kheow Open Zoo.

Visitors can expect a forested mountain landscape with dense evergreen forest, ridges and valleys of the Khao Khiao massif. The sanctuary is a strictly protected conservation area and is not a conventional tourist park; general access requires prior permission from the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation. Where permitted, visitors can observe forest scenery, wildlife habitats, birdlife and natural trails in a quiet, undeveloped environment with basic ranger facilities and no commercial development inside the sanctuary.
