CURVESCOUT / MOTORCYCLE RIDE
The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.

568 km from Non Din Daeng to Non Din Daeng, about 13 h 07 of riding. On the way it passes Dong Yai Wildlife Sanctuary, Pang Sida National Park, Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai Forest Complex and back through Pang Sida National Park. It suits an unhurried touring pace.
Ta Phraya is a protected forest on the Thai side of the Cambodian border, and it forms part of one of the great wildlife refuges of Southeast Asia, the Dong Phayayen–Khao Yai Forest Complex, which UNESCO listed in 2005. The complex stretches over hills and plains in several provinces, and it holds one of the largest remaining populations of Asian elephants in the country, as well as gaur, sambar, tigers in small numbers, gibbons and four species of hornbill. At dusk the great hornbills fly across the clearings with a rushing, wing-beating sound that carries a long way.

Ta Phraya National Park is where the day begins. Next is Dong Yai Wildlife Sanctuary.
Near the Cambodian border, the forests of eastern Thailand are some of the wildest in the country, and Dong Yai is part of a great chain of them. The Dong Phayayen–Khao Yai forest complex, which UNESCO listed in 2005, covers about six thousand square kilometres of hills and valleys stretching from Khao Yai National Park to the Cambodian frontier. Dong Yai Wildlife Sanctuary is one of the five protected areas in the complex, together with Ta Phraya, Thap Lan and Pang Sida National Parks, and it forms a corridor for animals that need space.

Dong Yai Wildlife Sanctuary comes up 49 km in. Next is Pang Sida National Park.
Pang Sida is the eastern end of the great forest belt that stretches across north-eastern Thailand from Khao Yai to the Cambodian border, a block of jungle, waterfalls and rolling hills in Sa Kaeo province. Together with Khao Yai, Thap Lan, Ta Phraya and a wildlife sanctuary, it makes up the Dong Phayayen–Khao Yai Forest Complex, a World Heritage site that protects some of the best remaining monsoon forest in mainland South-east Asia.

99 km in you reach Pang Sida National Park. Next is Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai Forest Complex.
Thailand's first national park lies just a couple of hours from Bangkok, and it still has wild elephants walking down its roads. Khao Yai, established in 1962, covers a large area of forested hills on the southern edge of the Khorat plateau, and together with neighbouring protected areas, it forms the Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai Forest Complex, listed by UNESCO in 2005. The forests here are a mix of evergreen and deciduous, grasslands and streams, home to elephants, gibbons, hornbills, deer, and a small number of tigers.
