The Khao Khiao Massif (Thai: เขาเขียว, pronounced [kʰǎw kʰǐa̯w]) is a moderately high mountain range near Chonburi, eastern Thailand.[1] This massif has the last substantial forested zone in Chonburi Province, a region that is much affected by urbanization and other forms of human intervention and land degradation.

Khao Khiao is the mountain area closest to Bangkok, rising about 70 km to the southeast of the capital.
