Tak
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.
Loi Krathong Sai
Thailand's
lovely annual Festival of Lights on the full moon night in November,
is celebrated in a unique manner in Tak. Local people thread together
their krathongs which are launched simultaneously and appear as
lighted necklaces on the Ping River.
Taksin Maharachanuson Fair
Celebrated annually from December 28-January 3 at the Taksin Shrine
and provincial sports field, the fair features religious ceremonial
and processions, displays and nightly folk entertainment.
