Kaeng Hin Pheng Khao Yai NPProvince: Prachin Buri
Distance: 7 km
Duration: 2 hr
Difficulty: 3 - 5
The ride - too bad the best rapid is the first. Hin Peng is a multil-level and the difficulty (4 - 5) depends on the level of the river. But there is plenty of fun left with 4 rapids that are 3 level and each just a bit different.
A walk of about 2.5 km is required to reach the start of the rafting. And the course is pretty much a "rainy season" option.
The lower stretches of the river are also popular for swimming and pickniking.
Note: Kaeng Hin Peng is quite popular and gets crowded. It might be a good idea to contact the tour operators and schedule for non-holiday weekdays.
