Mae Yom National Park
อุทยานแห่งชาติแม่ยม
A teak forest national park north of Phrae, where the Yom River passes through the “Tiger Leap Rapids” gorge. Visitors can camp, go rafting, and see native teak forest.
The park lies about 60 km north of Phrae city, in Song district. Here the Yom River cuts through a valley and forms a rocky rapid called Kaeng Suea Ten, or “Tiger Leap Rapids.” Both banks preserve some of Thailand’s largest stands of natural teak forest. There are campsites on the riverbanks. In the cool season you can watch morning mist over the river, and after the rainy season rafting trips can be arranged. Nearby, the Sut Yot Doi (สุดยอดดอย) viewpoint overlooks clouds drifting over the valley. The park is quite far from town, so a car is needed, and one day or an overnight stay is recommended. Foreign visitors must pay the national park entrance fee.
