Mae Puem National Park
อุทยานแห่งชาติแม่ปืม
A mountain national park north of Phayao city, with a reservoir, waterfalls and mountain viewpoints, and campsites. A place where locals enjoy nature on weekends.
Mae Puem National Park spans the mountains from north of Phayao city to the border with Chiang Rai, with mixed forest and dipterocarp forest. Near the park headquarters are a reservoir lake and campsites, and the park has several waterfalls and short trails. In the dry season, mountain mist often hangs over the area in the early morning. It is about 20 km from Phayao city and requires a private car or a chartered vehicle. Foreign visitors pay a national park entrance fee (about 100 to 200 baht), and some roads become muddy in the rainy season.
