We wanted to see Khao Yai National park but not be on a group tour or be stuck with a set program. This was the ideal trip in that regard. Our main interest was seeing the nature, which is well worth it. There are a couple of hikes you can do without a guide, but most require a guide so be aware of that. Our driver was a local so knows his way around but isn't a park guide.
Our driver was Eddy, the communication went well and he was friendly during the trip but also gave us a lot of space to just do what we felt like in our tempo. His driving was great, he drove faster than I would but he was sharp and focussed and responded well to the traffic situation so we felt very safe.
Overall, if you want to visit the park this is definitely worth it.
