Mae Wa National Park

Mae Wa National Park covers mountainous terrain across Lampang and Tak provinces with dense forests, waterfalls, and cave systems throughout. The protected area spreads across northern Thailand and protects diverse plant and animal habitats.

The park was established in November 2000 by the Department of National Parks to protect the northern region's diverse ecosystems. This action marked an important step in conserving the forested mountain landscape.

Local communities living near the park maintain traditional ways of life and practice sustainable land use in the surrounding areas. This connection to the forest shapes how the land is cared for and experienced today.

You can enter the park through marked access points, with Tak city located a short drive to the south. Basic facilities like parking and information stations are available at the entry areas to help you get oriented.

The waterfall that gives the park its name descends in multiple stages from Doi Prae Luang mountain before flowing into the Wang River. This stepped cascade creates an impressive natural feature that visitors often seek out.
