Champathong Waterfall (Doi Luang National Park)
น้ำตกจำปาทอง
A multi-tiered waterfall on the Phayao side of Doi Luang National Park, with forest trails that follow the stream upward. It is the most convenient waterfall outing near Phayao city.
Champathong Waterfall lies within Doi Luang National Park, about 20 km west of Phayao city. The stream tumbles down rock walls in several tiers, and trails and small bridges connect the falls through dense shade, making it suitable for a light half-day hike. The water is fullest after the rainy season and lowest toward the end of the dry season. A park management station is at the entrance, and foreign visitors pay the national park entrance fee. Local families are common on weekends. Wear non-slip shoes, as the paths can be slippery.
