"In Khao Yai, I highly recommend the Gibbon Route. It's an easy, gentle trail where kids won't get exhausted, but the wildlife pay-off is huge. The real value of our guides shows on this path. On our last trek, our guide successfully located a gibbon for us, alongside wild hornbills and Thailand's native mushrooms."
