Budo–Su-ngai Padi National Park, National park with waterfalls in Narathiwat Province, Thailand
Budo-Su-ngai Padi National Park is a nature reserve in Narathiwat Province featuring dense tropical forests, mountain ranges, and multiple waterfalls throughout its terrain. The landscape includes steep forest valleys, rocky slopes, and waterways that form the park's main attractions and water sources.
A protected forest area was first established in 1974 as a waterfall park under Royal Forest Department management. The site later expanded and received official status as a national park in 1999.
The local Malay communities view the park as part of their homeland and use its natural resources according to traditions passed down through generations. The waterways and forest areas hold meaning in their daily lives and cultural practices.
The park is accessible from the town of Su-ngai Padi with several marked trails for hiking through different areas of the forest. Basic facilities and visitor information are available at the main entrance area.
The park is home to a rare vine plant with unusually large leaves that display a golden hue, making it visually distinct from other forest vegetation. This botanical feature is found in specific areas throughout the reserve and attracts those interested in uncommon plant species.
