All bungalows are equipped with fan and hot shower. Bungalows can be booked through DNP website in advance. As the money transfer must be done within 2 days and the fact it takes longer time with transfers from abroad, it is only possible to book from within Thailand only. Payments can be done at 7-Eleven convinicence stores or banks. (July 2018 prices)

The park is home to many exciting animal species like elephant, gaur, banteng, leopard, barking deer, sambar deer, golden jackal, Asian black bear, sun bear, wild boar and many more. Elephant droppings on the roads are very common sight, proofs how common the elephants are, so common that the camping grounds are surrounded with electric fence. Nam Nao has over 220 known bird species.

Average elevation of 800 meters makes this park comfortably cool all year-round. Annual average temperature is about 25 °C, frost may occur November to January with night temperatures occasionally dropping to as low as 0 °C. Visitors are advised to have some warmer clothing during the cold season.
