Doi Luang National Park

This national park is a large protected area in northern Thailand with dense forests, high mountain peaks, and numerous limestone waterfalls. The terrain spreads across different elevations and offers varied landscapes with different plant and animal communities.

The park was officially established by the Thai government as a protected area in 1990 to preserve natural habitats and wildlife. This designation made it part of Thailand's network of protected forests and mountain regions.

Villages near the park have adapted to mountain life, and their daily work follows the rhythm of nature throughout the seasons. People here farm the land in traditional ways and use the surrounding resources while keeping them intact.

The best time for hiking is from November to January, when temperatures are mild and rainfall is lower. During the remaining months, especially from June to October, regular rains make trails wet and walking more difficult.

Wang Kaeo Waterfall stands out for its limestone structure with multiple levels that cascade down one after another. Water flows continuously throughout the year, creating an impressive natural display.
