Here’s a refined and more fluent version: This is another national park not to be missed when doing the Mae Hong Son Loop. We arrived at just the right time to enjoy perfect lighting under the evening sun. The main attraction for us was the Mae Cheam River flowing through the two “Kissing Rocks.” Parking is sufficient, the entrance fee is THB 100 per person, and it’s only a 300-meter walk from the main entrance to the Kissing Rocks. A perfect spot for nature lovers.
Op Luang National Park is a breathtaking escape into nature's beauty. The moment you arrive, the lush greenery and the sound of the Mae Chaem River flowing through the dramatic gorges instantly put you at ease. The hiking trail is an adventure in itself, starting with a crossing over a narrow wooden bridge that adds a thrill to the journey. The trail winds through dense forests, offering glimpses of ancient rock formations that feel almost prehistoric. It's a quiet, serene experience, perfect for those looking to disconnect and immerse themselves in nature. The park is well-maintained, and the facilities, including tent sites, are clean and convenient. Whether you're into rafting, exploring the unique dwarf snakehead fish, or simply enjoying the tranquility, Op Luang has something for everyone. The remains of ancient structures add a touch of mystery, making the visit even more fascinating. A must-visit for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike!
Such an amazing place. Easy to get to just off the main route 108. Go during the weekday. We went when it was raining which was even better. No one there.
Op Luang is a fantastic nature park that’s well worth a visit. The highlight is an exciting hiking trail, reached by crossing a narrow wooden bridge suspended over a fast-flowing river. The trail winds through an array of trees and lush plant life, leading to various key features, with the ancient petroglyphs being the most impressive. Along most of the trail, there are amazing photograph points that showcase the park’s stunning landscapes. The trail is well-marked and features information plaques at several points, providing insight into the area's history and natural beauty. The return part of the trail includes a steep descent, so take caution on the way down. Be sure to bring plenty of water to stay hydrated throughout the hike.
