There was not much water today but it was enough to enjoy. Of the 3 tiers, level 2 has the best swim hole, followed by the most scenic falls - number 3, where you can also cool off. Fairly easy 700 meter total walk with some stairs. Very friendly and talkative staff. Your new Thai friends!
Beautiful area and the park itself is very well cared for and looked after. Beautiful views over the valley if you’re happy to do the 700M elevation. It may not be as grand as some other parks but this comes with less tourists too!
This park deserves more attention. It is beautiful, well maintained and gorgeous.
Mae Wa National Park is a true hidden gem! The moment you step into the park, you're greeted by lush vegetation and a sense of tranquility that's hard to find elsewhere. The camping spots near the river are fantastic, offering a peaceful retreat with the soothing sounds of flowing water. The waterfall is just a short hike away and is absolutely stunning, especially after a bit of rain. The park is well-maintained, with clean bathrooms and friendly park officials who are always ready to help. I spent a night here, sleeping under the stars, and it was one of the most restful experiences I've had. The mature trees provide plenty of shade, and the overall atmosphere is incredibly relaxing. If you're looking for a quiet escape into nature, this is the place to be!
It's a nice and tranquil walk up a few steps, very lush vegetation, there was water, not too much ... really beautiful

Equipment rental availableKew Fin campsite in Chae Son National Park sits on a ridge in Lampang province, known for its sea-of-fog sunrise viewpoint just 200-300 meters uphill from the tents. The camping area sits at about 1,517 meters elevation, keeping the air cool year-round, with a flat but modest-sized pitch and a quiet atmosphere. Clean toilets and dishwashing points are available at several spots nearby, and park staff maintain the area well, but there are no shops on site so campers must bring their own food, water, and gear. The drive from Lampang city takes roughly 2-3 hours, with the final stretch steep and winding, so a vehicle capable of climbing hills and careful driving are recommended. After watching the sunrise, campers can drive about 2-4 kilometers to Ban Mae Kampong village for food, though the narrow, curvy road there requires slow, cautious driving. Advance permission from park officials is required before setting up camp, and national park entrance fees plus a separate camping fee apply. Some sites near the campground sit beside a small waterfall stream, and a larger waterfall is about 1 kilometer away.
