Doi Phu Kha National Park

Due to the lack of visitors, this mountainous park is still home to an excellent range of exotic wildlife such as elephants, deer, bears, gibbons and countless birds. The park is known for its scenic viewpoints, especially atop Doi Phu Kha and the cliffs of Phalan Hin and Na Pha.

Numerous waterfalls such as Phu Fa, Sila Phet, Mae Charim, and Tat Luang are all worth making the effort to see. Some of them can be accessed easily by car, while others require a healthy hike to reach. The park is also riddled with large limestone caves that are amazing to explore. The most beautiful is Tham Pha Kong.

Another amazing geological feature is Tran Nam Rod, where an underground river flows up through a cave with a noisy and dramatic effect akin to an upside down waterfall. Visitors should also check out the Primitive Palm Forest near Doi Phu Wae, one of the only original palm forests in Thailand. Very few visitors make it to this park, though it is a wonderful place to unwind.
