This 196-sq-km park on the Thai-Malaysian border in southern Satun Province is home to one of Southeast Asia's best preserved sections of white meranti rainforest. Its hilly terrain includes caves, waterfalls, limestone cliffs and lake views, and is home to some rare and varied wildlife.

The largest nearby town is Satun, a 15-hour bus trip from Bangkok. You can get a taxi to the park entrance where you can then hitch or hop on one of the infrequent songthaews into the park. Once inside the park, you can camp or bunk at one of the longhouses situated on the shores of a large lake.
