Tai Romyen National Park

Tai Romyen National Park lies in the eastern section of Surat Thani Province and covers a mountainous area with dense forest that contains several waterfalls and caves. The terrain features varied landscapes, from open areas to forested slopes, which together form a unified ecosystem.

The area served as a refuge for communist rebels during the 1980s until an amnesty program in the early 1990s led to its transformation into a national park. This shift marked a turning point in regional stability and protection of natural resources.

The park's name reflects a peace initiative from the 1990s that brought stability to the region, meaning 'cool shade in the south' in the local language. You can sense this historical meaning in how the community today uses and protects the land.

The main attractions are reached via marked trails that vary in difficulty and include two waterfalls and a cave. Come prepared with proper gear and plenty of water, especially since paths can become slippery after rain.

The park preserves two former military camps that now serve as historical sites and offer glimpses into the region's past. These locations see few visitors but reward those interested in this particular history.
