Mae Ngao National Park, National park in Mae Hong Son Province, Thailand
Mae Ngao National Park is a protected area in Mae Hong Son Province covering high mountain terrain cut by numerous westward-flowing rivers. The park contains dense forest and a branching network of waterways that carve through the landscape.
The Mae Ngao River served local hill communities as a transport route into the Sob-mei area over generations, particularly during the rainy season. This traditional waterway connection shaped how people settled and used the land.
The park boundaries encompass territories where indigenous communities maintain their traditional ways while participating in environmental preservation efforts.
The area offers several hiking trails for exploration as well as opportunities to spot wildlife like Asiatic black bears and red jungle fowl. Nature lovers can also take river trips to experience the waterway system from a different perspective.
The river system forms a tree-like pattern with the Mae Ngao River serving as the main trunk stretching between Tak and Mae Hong Son provinces. This branching arrangement makes the water distribution a striking feature when viewed from above or on maps.
