Amphoe Khlong Lan
Khlong Lan National Park
 The
Khlong Lan National Park covers an area of some 300 square kilometres
over mountain ranges to the west of the province. The highest peak
is about 1,400 metres. Of mainly virgin jungles, it is the source
of several streams which flow into the Ping River.
The park headquarters is near the Khlong Lan waterfall about 60
kilometres from town on the route to Khlong Lan district (highway
no.1117). Attractions within the park include the 95-metre high
Khlong Lan Fall with scenic surroundings, and the Khlong Nam Lai
Fall, a 9-level cascade and located off Highway no.1117 at Km. 35
and 10 kilometres further on). The Kaeng Ko Roi (off Highway No.1117
at Pong Nam Ron intersection) is a group of rock formations jutting
out of the stream looking somewhat like all islands. Visitors can
camp overnight within the park.
Mae Wong National Park
The Mae Wong National Park forms the border between Kamphaeng
Phet and Nakhon Sawan and covers an area of about 894 square kilometres.
Most of the land is rich in various types of plants. Along the Khlong
Lan -Umphang route passing through the park's area, which leads
up to the mountains, are several viewing points between Kms. 81
to 115. At Km. 102 is a beautiful road-side waterfall. Other falls
within the park include the Mae Krasa, Mae Liwa and others. To visit
these attractions tourists need to go on foot and overnight in the
jungle.
