Namtok Mae Surin National Park

Namtok Mae Surin National Park is a nature reserve in Mae Hong Son Province with mountains, waterfalls, and cave systems spread across nearly 400 square kilometers. The landscape features dense forest, limestone peaks including Doi Pui, and multiple water features that flow down through the terrain.

The park was established in 1981 as Thailand's 37th national park to protect the region's water systems and forests. It plays an important role in maintaining water flow to the Pai River through various ecosystems.

Hill tribe settlements near the park reflect generations of life adapted to the mountains and forests. Visitors can observe how these communities work with the land through their daily practices and farming methods.

The dry season offers the easiest access to trails and waterfalls, while heavy rains during wet months can block pathways and make some areas unsafe. Plan your visit around weather conditions to avoid impassable routes.

Nam Hu Haichai Cave features an underground water system that shoots jets of water from its walls in a repeating cycle. This natural phenomenon occurs due to pressure buildup from groundwater moving through underground chambers.
