Nanthaburi National Park, National park in Tha Wang Pha County, Nan Province, Thailand.
Nanthaburi National Park is a large protected area in Nan Province that features mountains, waterfalls, and dense forests across different elevations. The terrain changes significantly from lower valleys to higher peaks, creating varied environments throughout the park.
Forestry authorities recognized in the late 1990s that this forest region needed protection as a national park. This decision marked a turning point for preserving the mountainous landscape for the future.
Local communities living near and within the park maintain traditional ways of life that visitors can experience through ecotourism activities. The area reflects how people have adapted to living alongside these forests and mountains for generations.
You can reach the park via Highway 1080 from Nan, with the best visiting conditions occurring between November and February when weather is pleasant and dry. During these months, trails are easier to walk and views across the landscape are clearest.
Within the park sits an artesian spring that produces warm mineral water, a natural feature where water continuously flows warm from the ground. Additionally, higher elevations like Doi Pha Ji offer special moments during sunset when colors change across the sky above the mountains.
