Op Khan National Park

Op Khan National Park extends across 227 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, featuring mixed forests, deciduous dipterocarp forests, and pine tree forests at elevations up to 1550 meters.

The Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation established Op Khan National Park in 1992 to protect the natural resources of northern Thailand's forest ecosystems.

The Hmong village of Ban Huai Siew within the park boundaries maintains traditional agricultural practices while contributing to the preservation of local customs.

Visitors can access the park via Highway 108 from Chiang Mai, turning right at Hang Dong County Office and following Phrae-Op Khan Road to reach the entrance.

The park contains the Grasshopper Cave system, which extends over seven kilometers underground and displays numerous limestone formations through natural erosion processes.
