Tham Sakoen National Park

The park spans 249 square kilometers across Nan and Phayao provinces, featuring mountain ranges, valleys, and dense forests at elevations from 300 to 1752 meters.

In 1996, forestry scholar Wittaya Hongwiangchan identified this area's conservation potential, leading to its establishment as a national park on April 21, 2016.

Local communities near the park maintain traditional practices while engaging in sustainable agriculture supported by the three major river basins within the protected area.

Winter months offer the most favorable conditions for hiking and exploration, while the park requires visitors to bring their own food as no restaurants operate inside.

The T-shaped mountain formation contains the Doi-Ji peak at 1,752 meters, serving as a water source for three major river systems in northern Thailand.
