Pha Sok, Pha Taem National Park is located in Ubon Ratchathani province and has welcomed visitors since July 12, 2022. Access requires advance permission from the park office, with visitors submitting their names, group size, and travel dates. Two routes lead to the campsite. Hikers can trek approximately 3 kilometers from Tha Long Village, while those preferring vehicle access can take a local ride from the Soi Sawan Waterfall service unit for about 8 kilometers, followed by a 300-meter walk. The trail winds through forested terrain, passing waterfalls and streams. The camping area lacks electricity and food vendors, so visitors must bring all their own supplies and meals, though restroom facilities are provided. The site offers viewpoints for observing the sea of mist and sunrise over the landscape. The campsite charges 30 to 60 baht per person per night, and equipment rental is available.

Mid Feb 2026, At Ranger Station 1 was told that this is closed, not allowed to visit.
My favorite adventure and scenery ever had. The trails are so fun with motorcycles that we have to guess which way as many small separate ways. Just following the bike print would be fine. And the last 3 km. That is so fun as it's the rock way and jumping (not easy for tourists but not for locals) The way head is quite difficult and the way down is easier and faster. The last arriving will see the parking area and have to walk 500 m. easier. When you get there the best view point and pool sky. Would recommend for the adventure.
Don't push Google Maps, ask the locals for directions and go up. Only four-wheel-drive trucks are allowed in.
Great place with breathtaking views ! Enjoy natural jacuzzi and overnight camping. Can reach to the top via 4x4 vehicle. Shouldn’t follow Google map which brings you to a wrong place which will need to walk 3kms.
Amazing view
