Khlong Yan in the Wider Region: Rafting and Kayaking

Ask local operators before setting out; rafting activities must be supervised by local staff or guides, who are responsible for safety. Check current operating conditions with the park before your trip.

The kayaking route in the wider region also leads to the pier at Kaeng Krung National Park: it starts at the Hat Pak Choon rest area and is also approximately 8 kilometers long.
