Lam Nam Kok National Park

Lam Nam Kok National Park covers mountainous terrain with deciduous forests and a river flowing through the region across several districts. The protected area contains multiple waterfalls of varying heights and natural hot springs with mineral-rich water.

The area became a national park in 2002 to protect northern Thailand's natural resources. This designation followed years of efforts to preserve the region's distinctive landscapes and forest areas.

The Buddhist monastery Wat Phuttha Utthayan Doi Insi within the park shows how spiritual life and forest protection are intertwined in this region. Local practices reflect a deep connection between religious devotion and the care for natural spaces.

The park offers multiple entry routes and hiking trails to waterfalls and natural springs. Visitors should prepare for slippery terrain and wear sturdy footwear, especially during wet weather and in forest sections.

The hot springs at Huai Mak Liam are so mineral-rich and warm that you can cook eggs directly in them. This natural phenomenon draws visitors who want to experience the thermal power of the place firsthand.
