Namtok Chat Trakan National Park, National park in Phitsanulok Province, Thailand.
Namtok Chat Trakan is a national park in Phitsanulok Province with rocky terrain, sandstone formations, and dense green forests. The landscape includes mountainous areas with several rivers and streams flowing through different sections of the park.
The park was established in 1987 as a protected area, following surveys of the forest region conducted several years earlier. This protection was created to preserve the natural environment and forests of this location.
Ancient rock carvings on the cliffs near Chat Trakan Waterfall show that people have inhabited this area for centuries. These marks on the stone are part of the local story and connect visitors to the region's deep past.
The park is accessible year-round, but temperatures vary significantly between seasons. Visitors should prepare for cooler nights during winter months and warmer conditions during peak summer, adjusting clothing accordingly for comfortable exploration.
Chat Trakan Waterfall, also called Pakrong Waterfall, stands out because of its multi-tiered structure that creates an unusual visual effect. Visitors can walk along a path on the cliff side that offers different perspectives of the water cascading down in distinct levels.
