Doi Phukha National Park reviews

• Doi Phukha, and now Khun Nan NP

  Doi Phukha is indeed well worth a visit, with few foreigners as you say. But about 20 minutes down the mountain in the Mang River Valley (Bo Klua) is Khun Nan National Park, Thailand's newest national park. I have visited it about five times now and never encountered another car in the car park, or even a soul on the many walking tracks. The tracks are relatively easy and follow a lovely creek to a number of waterfalls and lookouts. You really do have the place to yourself.
  
  For the fitter types, the park provides walking access to Saphan waterfall along a spectacular track. For the lazier ones, you can come in from Saphan village itself, but is still involves a degree of walking. If visiting Doi Phukha, nature lovers should also consider Khun Nan, while in the area.

  This gives your review a bit of context - especially if you were last in Chiang Mai in 1932.
