The park was founded by Prince Chumbhotbongs Paribatra and his wife, Mom Rajawongse Pantip Paribatra.
The landscape covers approximately 1,500 rai (240 hectares) of private land.
It features over 200 species of rare plants and flowers imported or cultivated on-site.
The park acts as a watershed area, receiving direct runoff from the nearby Khao Yai National Park rainforests.
The stream's depth and speed vary significantly based on rainfall in the mountains, influencing open-swimming zones.
The site includes a botanical garden section that was originally a private project of the founders to preserve local flora.
Wang Takrai National Park is a privately managed nature retreat situated in the Nakhon Nayok province of Thailand. The site is defined by the confluence of the Nang Rong and Takrai streams, which flow over basalt rock formations to create natural waterfalls and pools. Unlike state-run national parks, this location operates as a botanical-style garden resort featuring landscaped grounds, exotic plant species, and extensive riverside picnic areas. The terrain is largely forested, providing natural canopy cover across the majority of the walking trails. Visitors access the park via a private entry gate located along the main road leading toward the Khao Yai mountain range. The area is specifically designed for day-use recreation and overnight stays in various bungalows or camping zones. Water activities, including inner-tube floating, are permitted in designated sections of the stream depending on current water velocity. The park serves as a primary hub for local weekend tourism due to its proximity to the foothills of the Sankamphaeng Mountain Range.
