The Khlong
Lan National Park covers an area of some 300 square
kilometres over mountain ranges to the west of the province.
The highest peak is about 1,400 metres. Of mainly virgin
jungles, it is the source of several streams which flow into
the Ping River.
The park
headquarters is near the Khlong Lan waterfall about 60
kilometres from town on the route to Khlong Lan district
(highway no.1117). Attractions within the park include the
95-metre high Khlong Lan Fall with scenic surroundings, and
the Khlong Nam Lai Fall, a 9-level cascade and located off
Highway no.1117 at Km. 35 and 10 kilometres further on). The
Kaeng Ko Roi (off Highway No.1117 at Pong Nam Ron
intersection) is a group of rock formations jutting out of
the stream looking somewhat like all islands. Visitors can
camp overnight within the park.
The Mae
Wong National Park forms the border between Kamphaeng Phet
and Nakhon Sawan and covers an area of about 894 square
kilometres. Most of the land is rich in various types of
plants. Along the Khlong Lan -Umphang route passing through
the park's area, which leads up to the mountains, are
several viewing points between Kms. 81 to 115. At Km. 102 is
a beautiful road-side waterfall. Other falls within the park
include the Mae Krasa, Mae Liwa and others. To visit these
attractions tourists need to go on foot and overnight in the
jungle.
