Tak ThailandTak is a large mountainous province with a long border touching Myanmar, giving a strong Burmese influence to the area. Tak's main attractions are the lakes and waterways that crisscross the region.

Popular cruises take visitors from the Bhumibol Dam, whose lake is the largest in Southeast Asia, through to Doi Tao in Chiang MaL This leisurely cruise passes through spectacular scenery of mountains and waterfalls for over 140 kilometres.

Two national parks along the Mae Sot Road are popular with visitors. Taksin Maharat National Park features viewpoints, streams, cascading waterfalls and abundant wildlife, while Lan Sang has beautiful falls, walking trails and picnic areas.

Serious travellers journey further, however, to the tiny village of Umphang, perched on the Myanmar border. This is the start of a remarkable adventure of whitewater rafting, trekking, elephant riding, mingling with hilltribes and the sight of Thailand's most breathtaking falls, Ti LoSu.
