Sri Lanna National Park
Sri Lanna National Park, located in Chiang Mai Province, is the 6th Largest National Park in the Kingdom, with a total area of 1406 square kilometers. The park border covers Chiangdao district, Phrao district and Mae Tang district about 60 km North of Chiang Mai.
Mae Ngat Dam
The dam was built on the Mae Ngat river, submerging the valley and forming a large reservoir with numerous tributaries in the jungle area.
The lake is approximately 1281 square kilometers, nestled between the Mae Tang Forest and Mae Ngat Forest. It offers one of the North's most amazing wilderness area. The lake is home to many fish species. There are floating restaurants, and simple accommodation can be found further down the reservoir, accessible by motor boat.
Mon Hin Lai Waterfall
This cascade is located in the Mae Ngat Forest, in Phrao district, Chiang Mai. This is a large 6-tier waterfall, with water continuously flowing all year round. Great panoramic scenery of Phrao valley can be viewed from the waterfall. Best visited during the raining season (July-September).
Teak wood forests
There are teak covered forests on both sides along road #1150. This road leading to Phrao district is particularly scenic.
Yen Fountain, Yen Waterfall and Paolk Tong Cave
All are situated at around K. 42 on Chiang Mai-Phrao route (#1150). Mineral water springs from the ground and then flows into a stream, which becomes a small waterfall.
