Geology: Carved by the relentless forces of erosion over centuries, Pha Chor stands as a spectacular illustration of the Ping River’s sedimentary legacy. The striking cliffs and distinctive soil pillars draw geologists and explorers alike, drawn to its unique appearance reminiscent of an ancient city.

Adventure Awaits in Mae Wang: Venture beyond the geological allure of Pha Chor to experience a diverse range of thrilling activities. Test your mettle with bamboo rafting on the Mae Wang River, or immerse yourself in the park’s lush greenery with a challenging trek.
Cultural and Wildlife Experiences: Balance your adrenaline-filled day with a serene visit to Wat Luang Khun Win, a place of worship that exudes tranquillity and spirituality. For animal lovers, there’s the unmissable opportunity to contribute to animal welfare at the Elephant Care Centre in Mae Wang.
