Khao Laem National Park, National park in Kanchanaburi, Thailand.
Khao Laem National Park is a protected area in Kanchanaburi that combines mixed deciduous forests, limestone mountains, and a large reservoir near the Myanmar border. The park contains hiking trails, camping grounds, and designated wildlife viewing areas spread throughout its natural landscape.
The area was officially designated as a protected park in 1987 and has since belonged to a larger forest conservation network in the region. Its establishment was part of efforts to preserve natural areas along Thailand's western borders.
Rangers from local communities guide visitors through a 4-kilometer trail to reach the nine levels of Kra Teng Cheng Waterfall.
Visitors will find information centers that provide basic maps and guidance about trails throughout the park to help with navigation. The best time to explore is during the cooler months when outdoor conditions are more comfortable for hiking and camping.
Several lakes and sections of the park can be explored from the water, offering a different angle on the surrounding landscape. This water-based perspective allows visitors to experience birdwatching and quiet moments in nature in a distinct way.
