Nam Tok Pha Charoen National Park, National park in Dan Mae Lamao, Thailand
Nam Tok Pha Charoen is a national park in the mountains of Tak Province with dense forests, steep slopes, and lush green vegetation. The main waterfall with numerous cascades flows year-round into a natural pool below and is the park's centerpiece.
The park was established to protect the natural resources and forest systems of the Tak region for the long term. This protection allowed the landscape to maintain its ecological diversity over decades.
Local people work with the park to care for the forest and involve visitors in conservation activities. You see how the community lives closely with this natural space.
You can reach the park via Highway 1090, which has clear signs directing you to the entrance near the kilometer 36 marker. Good trails and markings make it easy to move around and explore different parts of the park.
The waterfall drops through many successive tiers, creating a staircase-like effect that is quite rare and striking to see. This tiered structure makes it visually different from typical single-drop waterfalls.
