Main Attractions of the National Park
Don Krabak Yai:
Initially the park was given a name ‘Don Krabak Yai’. The reason behind the name was that its forest cover that includes evergreen, pine, deciduous and dipterocarp has a gem of a tree called Giant Krabak which is not only 700 years old but also has a height of about 50 meters and a girth of about 16.1 meters.
Saphan Hin:
It is a natural stone bridge, basically a massive stone that spans the gap between two cliffs. It has a height and width of 25 meters and is 30 meters in length, a stream that flows beneath this natural structure acts as the added boon.
Waterfalls:
The national park has a number of waterfalls out of which Sam Muan Thung is the biggest among popular ones like Mae Ya Pa and Pha Khao-Pha Daeng.
