The National Parks of Thailand are forested areas of national significance in terms of natural ecological resources and unique beauty. There are places where the flora and fauna receive special protection. To be designated a national park of Thailand, a forested area has to be at least ten square kilometers in area. In comparison, Forest Parks are at a lower level of conservation than national parks, and are governed by the provincial administration.
As of 2010, there are 102 national parks in Thailand. They include 21 marine national parks. In addition, 33 terrestrial sites and 3 marine sites are awaiting official designation as national parks and marine parks. These areas are administered by the National Park, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Department, which comes under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment.
Khao Yai National Park is the first national park in Thailand, established in 1961. Khao Sam Roi Yot is the first marine park, established in 1966. Since 1993, the administration of the terrestrial and marine parks are under different divisions of the National Park, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Department.
