Covering an area
of over 1,000 square kilometres is the Mae Ping National
Park. Its main feature is the Ping River, which floes
through the forests in the park. On both sides are fertile
forest-lands with sheer cliffs providing beautiful natural
scenery. Certain parts of the waterway spread out to form
reservoir-like bodies of water with numerous small islands
and rapids. Another attraction is the 7-level Ko Luang
Waterfall which is fed from lime streams. It is just
20 kilometres from the park headquarters and accessible
by road. Fascinating stalactites and stalagmites are to
be found inside nearby lime caves.
Tourists wishing
to stay overnight are recommended to contact park headquarters;
which is located some 20 kilometres off Highway No. 106
at Km. 47.
