Lamnamkok National Park

Chiang Rai Province


Dating to 2002, this is one of Thailand’s youngest national parks. The area is home to waterfalls and, most notably, a hot spring. The latter is a short walk from the park headquarters, while longer excursions require a guide. The headquarters are about 3km west of Ban Ruam Mit.
