During my recent road tour to Northern Thailand, I came across numerous National Parks in addition to the several I've seen in the central and southern Thailand. It set me to wonder how many National Parks are around?
A quick search on Google to the National Parks of Thailand web-site reveals a surprising number - 148 in total! Wow, that's almost twice the number I first thought!
The Wikipedia count is slightly less but a mention of another 38 more in the pipeline. Whatever the case, it reflects a conscious effort to preserve the natural forests and its heritage of flora & fauna. Good work!
A glimpse of their distribution around the country:
