Khlong Lan National Park (Thai อุทยานแห่งชาติคลองลาน) is a 300 km2 (120 sq mi) national park in Thailand.

Description

Khlong Lan National Park is situated in the Dawna Mountain Range.

This park lies in Khlong Lan and Mueang Kamphaeng Phet districts of Kamphaeng Phet Province, the Lower north of Thailand and occupies 187,500 rai ~ 300 square kilometres (120 sq mi).[2]

The park is rugged and hilly along the Dawna Range, and is covered by fertile forest. Each mountain connects to Khun Khlong Lan, the highest peak at 1,439 metres (4,721 ft) above sea level. It's the origin of Khlong Khlung and Khlong Suan Mak, the tributaries of the Ping River. The famous places in the park are Khlong Lan and Khlong Nam Lai Waterfalls.[3]

History

The park was declared a national park on 25 December 1985 as the 44th park of Thailand.
