Khao Luang National Park
Khao Luang National Park covers Amphoe Muang, Amphoe Phipun, Amphoe
Phrom Khiri, Amphoe Lan Saka, Amphoe Chawang, King Amphoe Chang Klang,
and King Amphoe Nop Phitam. Having a land area of 597 square kilometres,
it was declared a national park on December 18, 1974. The park has
a winding mountain range, with the Khao Luang peak the highest of
the peaks in southern Thailand at 1,835 metres above sea level. It
is the watershed of more than 15 streams and rivers. The park’s rainforest
is home to a multitude of tropical flora and fauna. There is a route
that takes visitors around the park to see unspoiled natural scenery,
the variety of wildlife and rare animal and plant species, some of
which can only be found in the park. The beauty and completeness of
the park, its fascinating nature, the park’s efforts to encourage
the local community and tourists to be aware of the importance of
nature, and its excellent tourist service system have all combined
to help the park win the 1998 Thailand Tourism Award in the natural
destination category. For more information and accommodation bookings,
