Ob Khan National Park

Ob Khan National Park sits within Nam Phrae village in Hang Dong District, offering a natural retreat within easy reach of Chiang Mai city. The park is centred around Ob Khan Gorge, a striking canyon carved by the Khong River, where visitors can walk along rocky riverbanks, wade through shallow waterways, and move between forested sections of trail. The combination of canyon scenery and dense woodland makes it a genuinely varied outdoor destination rather than a single-feature attraction.

Visitors can expect a relatively peaceful atmosphere with a focus on self-directed exploration. The park suits those comfortable with uneven terrain and water crossings, as the gorge trail involves walking through the river itself in places. The surrounding forest provides shade, though the experience remains physically engaging. It draws both local visitors and travellers seeking a nature-based half-day away from the city's urban centre.
