Why go, and how to do it well

Cold is the point here. The park sits high in the ranges near Fang, and the air up there does what no fan in Chiang Mai can, which is why the November to February window is when people make the drive. Clear skies, long views over the northern ridges, forest that stays dense rather than manicured. Natural springs too.

Trails run from easy forest walks to properly demanding mountain climbs, so it suits both a casual half day and a serious leg-burner. Birdwatchers do well. What you won't find is the crowd and the commerce of the better-known northern attractions, which is either the appeal or the drawback depending on what you came for. Give it a full day rather than squeezing it between other stops, because the driving alone eats hours.
