The Thungyai-Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuaries, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Thailand, form a vast, pristine conservation area along the Myanmar border. Recognized in 1991, these contiguous sanctuaries encompass diverse forest types, from tropical dry forests to savannas, and host an exceptional array of biodiversity, including tigers, elephants, and numerous rare species.
