The park sits in Chiang Rai besides Tak Provinces in the north and covers more than 1,100 square kilometres. The views take your breath away - people who love nature or adventure put the park on their travel plan.
The star sights are the waterfalls that shape the land. The tallest drop belongs to Hoa Mai Dawalad Waterfall also named Ella Waterfall, where water falls 70 metres straight down. Other well known falls are Ella Grand, Ella Minor, Payalayi, Kao Fresh or Nam Tom. Each one looks different and gives a good spot for photos. When the rains arrive, the falls grow fuller and put on their best show.
