Thap Lan National Park

Thap Lan is a large national park spread across mountainous terrain with valleys, waterfalls, and forest areas reaching heights around 1000 meters. The landscape provides multiple habitats with trails, observation areas, and camping spots for different activities.

The park was established in 1981 as Thailand's 40th national park and later became part of a larger UNESCO-protected forest complex. This recognition showed the international importance of the area for nature conservation.

The extensive palm forests shape the landscape and hold traditional meaning for local communities who have maintained sustainable ways of living. People use these areas in harmony with the environment, a practice passed down over generations.

The park is accessible through the Bu Phram area and offers camping, hiking, and wildlife observation year-round. Visitors should expect changing weather conditions and bring appropriate gear.

The area is home to a notably high tiger population along with over 140 documented bird species in its low-lying evergreen forests. This animal diversity makes it an important refuge for rare and endangered species.
