Camping
at Tai Rom Yen National Park
Tai
Rom Yen National Park occupies a forested area of 425 sq kms
or 133,125 rai of Khlong Nam Thao Reserve in Amphoe Ban Na
San and Amphoe Wiang Sa. Once the Communist Party of Thailand
established their base at a mountain within the park, known
as Khao Chong Chang. If you wish to stay overnight at the
park, you are requested to bring your own camping accessories.
Tai
Rom Yen National Park is composed of limestone hills dotted
with caves and contains lush forest areas with a considerable
variety of plant and animal species. Once the national park
sheltered a number of wildlife species including elephant
and gaur, but now no trace of them can be found. The most
unique animal found today within the park is a large species
of mountain frog, the rana macrodon. Along the nature trails
there are several scenic spots including spectacular waterfalls:
Dat Fa Waterfall, approximately 46 km from Surat Thani, Muang
Thuat Waterfall, 20 km from Amphoe Ban Na San and Than Thip
Waterfall in Amphoe Wiang Sa.
