Chae Son National Park, National park in Lampang Province, Thailand
Chae Son is a national park in Lampang combining forested mountain terrain, cascading waterfalls, and thermal springs scattered throughout the park. The landscape features river valleys and cave systems hidden beneath the forest canopy.
The park received official protection in 1988 as one of Thailand's newer national parks. The thermal springs and waterfalls that define the area today have shaped this region for centuries.
Local people have long used the thermal springs for bathing and cooking, making them an ordinary part of life in this area. Visitors can observe how residents naturally integrate these geothermal waters into their daily routines.
The park is best explored in the early morning when temperatures are cooler and trails are quieter. Sturdy walking shoes and plenty of water are necessary since trails climb through forested hillsides.
The thermal springs reach temperatures hot enough to cook eggs directly in the water, a phenomenon visitors can experience and sample firsthand. This natural cooking method is a practical feature found in few other locations.
