Description: |

Nearly 900 square kilometers of verdant jungles, rich in flora
and fauna, make up the Mae Wong National Park.The park lies
adjacent to the KhlongLan National Park and the HuaiKhaKhaeng
Wildlife Sanctuary in UthaiThani. Rare elephants, gaurs, tigers
and birds like the hornbill and kingfisher have staked their
claim on the park’s lands. Visitors can relax at Chong Yen, a
scenic spot atop a cliff, perfect for enjoying a constant breeze
and a sunset, though note that access is restricted to certain
hours.
Along the KhlongLan-Umphang route passing through
the park are also several viewing points between Km. 81 and 115.
For trekkers and climbers, a five-day trip will take visitors to
the Mo Ko Chu summit, a dizzying 1,964 meters high. Waterfalls
and many other attractions await visitors, but most require a
long trek.
To get there from Bangkok, take Highway No. 1
and turn left at Km. 338 onto Highway No. 1117,
KhlongLan-Umphang Route. At the intersection to KhlongLan, go
straight for 19 kilometers to the National Park Office. Those
taking a bus from Bangkok can disembark at

national park.

every day. More information is available at 0 5322 1179,
