Description: |

Bang Lang national park covers the area of 163,125 Rai of
BannangSata, Than To and Betong Districts of Yala Province. It
was declared a National Park on February 24, 1999. The park
covers some parts of Hala-Bala Wildlife Sanctuary. As it was
once the area of the Malayan Communists and the Patani United
Liberation Organization, the forest had not welcomed any
explorers a very long time and is still lush. What is
interesting about Bang Lang National Park is its great variety
of plant species. The area is mostly tropical rainforest which
isalso the origin of Pattani River, Sai Buri River, To Mo canal,
Hala canal and Ban Chet canal. The park is the habitat of many
rare wild animals such as Sumatran rhinoceros, tapir, rhinoceros
hornbill, helmeted hornbill and many more.Many attractions of
the national park include the Bang Lang Dam, a large and
important reservoir of the province, Halasa Waterfall, La-ong
Rung Waterfall, the 2-kilometer-wide Than To lake and the
nine-tiered Than To Waterfall. These sights are located near the
national park office and can be accessible by foot. To get
there, from Yala town, take highway No. 410 (Yala-Betong route)
and turn right at the 56th kilometer to enter the route to the
waterfall. Proceed for 150 meter and you will arrive at the Bang
Lang National Park office. For the waterfall, proceed the same
route for another 900 meters and you will meet the beauty of the
nine-tiered waterfall. |
