Namtok Ngao National Park

The park extends across 668 square kilometers of mountain ranges, including Khao Daen, Khao Huay Siad, and Khao Nom Sao in Ranong and Chumphon provinces.

Initially designated as Klong Prao National Park, the area received official national park status on June 2, 1999 to protect its natural resources and biodiversity.

The forests within the park contain valuable tree species such as Podocarpus neriilolius, Hopea odorata, and Michelia champaca, which support local ecological traditions.

Visitors need to bring camping equipment to stay overnight, while food supplies can be purchased from shops near the park headquarters, located 13 kilometers south of Ranong.

The park contains the exclusive habitat of the princess crab, known locally as Poo Chao Fah, which exists nowhere else in the world.
