Ramkhamhaeng National Park

Ramkhamhaeng National Park is a protected forest and mountain park in Ban Dan Lan Hoi District, Sukhothai Province, northern Thailand. Established in 1980 and named after King Ramkhamhaeng of Sukhothai, it covers about 341 square kilometres of the Khao Luang mountain range. The park is known for its forested peaks, waterfalls, viewpoints and hiking trails, including the challenging ascent to 1,200-metre Khao Luang summit, and serves as a major nature destination near Sukhothai Historical Park.

Visitors can expect a forested mountain landscape centered on the Khao Luang range with dense deciduous and evergreen forest, waterfalls, cliffs and viewpoints. The main experience is hiking, including the steep 3.7 km trail to the 1,200-metre Khao Luang summit with camping at the top, plus shorter nature trails, birdwatching and photography. Facilities are concentrated at the park headquarters with visitor centre, campsite, bungalows and food stalls, while the summit area is basic and requires carrying supplies.
