Spanning nearly 860 km² across Phayao Province, Doi Phu Nang National Park protects diverse ecosystems from highland forests to fertile river valleys. The park’s highlight includes the Than Sawan Waterfall, Doi Phu Nang Peak (1,202 m), and Thailand’s largest breeding ground for green peafowl (January–March). Visitors can explore forested trails, enjoy riverside waterfalls, and observe unique wildlife. Facilities include a ranger-run visitor centre, restrooms, campgrounds, and basic lodging—though food and gear should be brought along. Open daily 08:30–16:30, with modest entrance fees. Most favorable visit period is October through January. Highly recommended for nature lovers, wildlife watchers, and those seeking serenity in northern Thailand.

A nice national park for camping and walking. The campsite is next to the waterfall and there is restaurant inside the park in cheap price. Very convenient. Peafowls should be around on January to March but we did not see one on 23 January.

I really like this place. The waterfalls is very nice and a lot of water which you could jump and swim. The campground is nice.

Important routing advice: If you are coming from Phayao (just over an hour's drive), gps will guide you right in to the park, but if you come from Lampang, gps will have you exit highway 1 near Mae Wa, and this route eventually ends up on a dirt road with 40 km still to go. Continue north on highway 1 to highway 120 and come in that way. That said, this was a nice park. Entry was 100 thb plus 30 for a car. Main attraction is the waterfall, which I will review separately. Camping here looks peaceful. There's a snack bar and a restaurant, although I had trouble getting someone's attention there and eventually gave up on getting a coffee. There's also a short nature trail, 1.3 km loop which took my less than 30 minutes to walk. Not that interesting of a walk, but good for exercise if you have the time. Trail starts above the first aid house and ends near the snack bar. And speaking of the first aid house, they seem to be safety conscious here. In addition to first aid, there was also a ranger stationed by the waterfall, who kept an eye on me any time I was near the water. Comforting to me. Toilets are in numerous locations, even down by the waterfall.

Probably the prettiest twin waterfalls I've visited. Enchanting and surreal. Must visit but do it off-peak. If you're lucky, a pet peacock will be there to greet you.

Actual entrance is a little further west down the road. Hands down the best park I've been to. Not crowded. Beautiful waterfalls. Easy hike. Look out for peacocks! Good cheap restaurant on site as well.

The Waterfall is awesome ! Quiet unfortunate you can't swim there. Was definetly worth the trip.

Be careful with big birds walking on park and camping ground. One of them are aggressive and dangerous. It attack my tent and after that my legs, it was scary and painful :(
