Mae Wong National Park

Mae Wong National Park is a protected area in central Thailand covering a mountainous region marked by river systems, dense forest cover, and multiple ridges. The landscape combines river-fed valleys with elevated terrain supporting varied ecosystems.

The protected area was established in the 1980s to preserve the mountain forests and wildlife of the region. Its creation followed growing awareness of the ecological importance of these forests for national biodiversity.

The park sits along historic trade routes between Thailand and Myanmar and forms part of a larger protected corridor shared across borders. Visitors experience mountain landscapes shaped by centuries of regional movement and connection.

The park is accessible by mountain road leading to a main campsite and is best visited with a vehicle. Plan your visit for early morning hours to allow time for walking and wildlife watching.

The protected area hosts a remarkable variety of bird species, including specialized mountain dwellers that thrive in this region. This ornithological richness makes it a place where nature enthusiasts can observe unusual species.
