ลานกางเต็นท์อุทยานแห่งชาติทะเลบัน

Beautiful. No food or drinks today. 200 baht for foreigner. Watch out for leeches.

real wild nationalpark close to the malaisyen boarder, wildlife like birds, lemure, monkeys, deers, thapier, bear... are amazing, the national park is well organiced, no rubish, nice walk trail+-4km, good local thaifood and drinks for fair price, staff is nice and very friendly, beware of the monkeys they are a bit nouthy.

Excellent camp facilities. Clean well equipped toilets. 200baht entrance fee. Occasional cheeky monkeys. Few leaches.

Basically, it's just a lake with very run down infrastructure, absolutely not worth the 200B entrance fee. Upon entry to the park everything seems nice and well maintained. But as soon as one is leaving the parking area and starts to wander around the lake it soon becomes obvious that this park is in dire need of repairs. There are collapsed bridges and disjointed raised walkways over the lake without safety rails - it all looks very unsafe. The 750m nature trail is excessively overgrown and the path poorly marked, making navigation difficult and increasing the likelihood of getting lost.. We are fit and good hikers, and rate this trail a 8 out of 10 in terms of difficulty, it's not suitable for children and people that are not regularly hiking rough terrain. The tiny waterfall is almost inaccessible. It requires climbing over slippery rocks and a lot of leaves and tree roots on the ground that make it very hard to see where there's solid ground or a hole between the rocks. The observation deck on top, near the largest part of the waterfall, is severely decayed and unsafe. The exorbitant entrance fee of 200B for a national park in such a state of neglect is deeply disappointing. Even the reduced fee of 40B for Thai nationals fails to justify the experience. This falls squarely on the shoulders of the Satun National Park division, who should be ashamed for this substandard offering.

A small but beautiful national park close to the Thai-Malaysia border. The only attraction is the pond with many lotus flowers, and there are also cottages around it that you can rent, best suited for group tours. Good place for a quick stop over to relax, but remember you will have to pay 200 Baht for the entry ticket if you are a foreigner
