Mae Takhrai National Park in Chiang Mai province offers a camping area well suited to families and those new to outdoor stays. The Jamjuree camping ground sits beside the Mae Kwang stream, where shallow clear water allows visitors to wade and cool off. Large trees provide natural shade across the site. Access is straightforward via the main Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai highway, with the road suitable for standard cars. Facilities include parking, toilets, showers, electricity, running water, a shop, restaurant, and coffee shop. The park also features a three-kilometer nature trail circling the reservoir, Tad Moey waterfall, and a viewpoint at the sixth kilometer, offering opportunities for photography and morning mist observation.

All the trials are “closed” but the staff said I can walk on them they are just not well maintained and sometimes hard to follow. I only did the first trail but it was very nice has some good views that are hard to get a picture. Mostly just a place to camp by the river. It’s free!
Another best place for picnic and camping, people here are very nice, mobile networks signal is very strong as well and very easy traveling from the city
A great place by the side of the highway with beautiful view and nice and comfy places to chill out and enjoy. There is a booth selling drinks with the reasonable prices. There is also camping site around which I didn’t visit.
Another good place to take a break if you love nature. I had a good time enjoying the quite atmosphere and sounds of water flowing in the river ...
About a one hour drive from central Chiang Mai. National park with many walking paths. We encountered some Thai people fishing in one of the rivers.
