A one hour’s drive from the city centre will take you to the car park from where you can wander down a really pretty trail of around 400metres to get to this natural wonder.
There are breathtaking view points, adventurous wending paths, wonderful scenery and even guides and a cafe to make sure you are not too exhausted.
From the Thai National Parks’ website:
Getting to the park
To get to the park headquarters area and other attractions further inside the park; take the Highway #108 south of Chiang Mai for about 45 km until you reach Santi Suk Subdistrict. Ignore all other possible earlier side road routes various satnav applications such as Google Maps suggests as they involve quite a few turns. Once at Santi Suk, do a u-turn and drive back 800 meters and turn left to 2069 (signposted to Mae Wang National Park). Follow the route until getting to the park entrance. Pha Chor can be reached by taking another side road to the left just 2.3 km before the park entrance.
There are various companies that offer tours to the park attractions. It is also possible to arrange a private taxi through this website to visit Pha Chor and some other attractions in the area on your own. Our recommendation is to arrange a trip to Pha Chor and from there continue to the nearby Doi Inthanon National Park.
