Pha Daeng National Park

Pha Daeng National Park is a protected mountain area in Chiang Mai Province featuring diverse forest landscapes and multiple peaks. The terrain encompasses varying elevations with different vegetation zones and natural features throughout its boundaries.

The protected area was originally established as a forest reserve and later formally designated as a national park under its current name. The region was chosen to preserve important forest and water sources for future generations.

Local communities near the park share traditional knowledge about forest ecosystems and demonstrate sustainable practices in managing natural resources.

The main entrance is located near a waterfall area with a visitor center offering information and orientation services. It helps to obtain maps before exploring and ask about current local conditions.

The area serves as a watershed for several major rivers whose waters flow into surrounding regions. This hydrological role makes it a critical ecosystem for the wider region.
