Sanaa:Kaeng Krachan A mother and her cub sun bear have been spotted strolling through the lush greenery of Pha Nen Thung in Kaeng Krachan National Park, Phetchaburi Province. This delightful sight has brought joy to both park staff and visitors.

Visitors to the park are advised to follow specific guidelines when encountering sun bears.
