Guibury Safari, Thailand

"Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park Safari of Thailand"

Driven by a desire to witness wildlife in its natural habitat, particularly on a safari in Kenya's Maasai Mara, a dream limited by budget and time constraints, this trip to Kui Buri National Park in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province emerged as an alternative, offering the opportunity to encounter wild animals within a more accessible distance.

This trip was truly blessed. In just two days, we encountered…

The elephants were in a herd, ranging from 30 meters to 10 meters away.

Approximately 50 wild bulls were spotted at a distance, then approached within 5 meters. The image was captured with an iPhone and is so clear that it appears as if the bulls are about to charge into the viewer's face.

The fox sprinted away quickly, but it was no match for our photographer's shutter speed.

Kui Buri is a "special forest," not a naturally occurring one, but rather a forested area within the Kui Buri National Park that is part of the Royal Initiative Project for Forest Conservation and Rehabilitation.

Visiting this place offers a high chance of encountering elephants or gaurs, making it a paradise for both wildlife and landscape photographers.
