Situated about an hours drive from the northern province of Chang Mai, the park contains many beautiful vistas overlooking exotic, subtropical forests. Life in the forests here is quite different from that found further south, due to the colder influence of the Himalayan mountains. Built into the side of the mountain are twin pagodas. The pagodas are very large and hugely impressive. It is almost as if they standing on guard, protecting Thailand from anything coming over the mountain, which borders southwest China. The pagodas are surrounded by wonderful gardens and each offers spectacular views of the mountains.

These beautiful pagados mark the boundaries between Thailand and China.

The park is also criss-crossed by some wonderful trails, which invite you to explore the mountains. If you do, you’ll not only be rewarded by the breathtaking views, but you will also get to visit some amazing waterfalls.
