Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
Mae Moei National Park, located in Tak Province near the border with Myanmar, covers a mountainous region of tropical forest and river valleys. The park is centered around the Mae Moei River, which features several striking waterfalls including the prominent Mae Moei Waterfall, a popular spot for visitors due to its multi-tiered cascades and natural pools. The park's terrain ranges from lowland forest to elevations of over 1,400 meters, supporting diverse ecosystems with tropical hardwoods, bamboo groves, and evergreen forests. Wildlife includes species such as gibbons, deer, wild boar, and a variety of bird species. Established to protect this biodiverse environment, the park also preserves cultural heritage sites belonging to local hill tribe communities. Recreational opportunities focus on hiking through scenic trails, wildlife viewing, visiting waterfalls, and camping amid the tranquil forest. Visitors appreciate the peaceful natural setting combined with the chance to observe Thailand’s western forest ecosystems and cultural intersections near the international border. The park's relatively remote location means crowds are limited, providing a more intimate outdoor experience.
