Bangkok Hiking and Outdoor

Overview
Join our one-day adventure to Prachinburi and experience the magical glow of thousands of fireflies in their natural habitat!

We’ll begin our journey at the serene Daravadee Buddha Statue, followed by a scenic 2.5 km hike leading to a stunning cliffside viewpoint. Then continue another 2 km to the peaceful E-To Reservoir. The trail is a natural path, suitable for easy to intermediate hiking levels (you can choose to hike only halfway if preferred).

After the hike, it’s time to unwind by the reservoir, enjoy a light dinner, and head to the Firefly Garden. To witness these glowing insects, we’ll patiently wait in silence—fireflies are sensitive creatures, easily disturbed by loud sounds, strong smells, or chemicals.

The number of fireflies you see reflects the health of the environment. In areas with pollution or extreme weather conditions, they stop reproducing—making their presence a powerful sign of ecological balance. Come and see what nature reveals under the twilight sky.
