»In Phetchaburi watershed forest, the officers must guard against deforestation, illegal logging or cultivation, because they cause drought«

declared His Majesty King Bhumipol Adulyadej in the speech of October 29, 1979 given during one of his many visits to the Kaeng Krachan National Park.

As is broadly known His Majesty has always been very concerned about the conservation of the natural treasures of the Kingdom of Thailand of which Western Forest Complex, comprising also the above mentioned Kaeng Krachang National Park, has been a vital part.

The project is funded by the Government of the Czech Republic (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and conducted with support of the National Park, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Department (DNP), Thai Ecotourism and Adventure Travel Association (TEATA), Foundation of Western Forest Complex Conservation (FWFCC) and Tourism Promotion Society of Kanchanaburi (TSK).
