Phang Nga province is renowned for its rich natural attractions, offering some of the most pristine and beautiful locations in Thailand. Among these is the hidden gem of Sri Phang Nga National Park, a less-visited treasure. While some tourists may have explored its wonders, it still remains relatively unknown. If you’re a nature lover looking to explore a scenic, educational experience, here’s why Sri Phang Nga National Park should be on your travel list.

About Sri Phang Nga National Park

Sri Phang Nga National Park is one of the five national parks established as part of the project to honor His Majesty King Bhumibol. This park spans across Kuraburi and Takua Pa districts in Phang Nga province, covering around 153,800 rai (approximately 246.08 square kilometers). The park is known for its lush, thriving forests that serve as vital watersheds, home to diverse wildlife, and boasts beautiful natural highlights, such as waterfalls and cliffs.

Popular Activities for Visitors

Visitors to Sri Phang Nga National Park can enjoy hiking through lush forest trails, take in panoramic views from towering cliffs, swim in crystal-clear waterfalls where fish, like the Mahseer barb, swim freely, and observe rare wildlife that thrives in this preserved ecosystem.

Rare Wildlife in Sri Phang Nga

Thanks to the park’s abundant biodiversity, rare wildlife can be found here, including species like gaur bulls, tapirs, serows, sambar deer, wild boars, helmeted hornbills, Assam macaques, and Oriental honey buzzards. Although these rare creatures are present, visitors need not worry, as park rangers closely monitor the area to ensure everyone’s safety while exploring the natural trails.
