About Tat Ton National Park

 

Tat Ton National Park covers a forested area dominated by rocky terrain featuring steep cliffs, large boulders, and limestone formations. Located in Chaiyaphum Province, the park's notable feature is the Tat Ton Waterfall, a multi-tiered cascade flowing from an 80-meter-high cliff into a cool, inviting pool. The park's landscape consists mainly of dry evergreen and deciduous forests, supporting a variety of flora such as teak, bamboo, and dipterocarps. Wildlife includes several bird species, monkeys, barking deer, and occasional sightings of gaur and pangolins. Visitors come to Tat Ton for hiking its trails that ascend cliffs offering panoramic views of the surrounding forest and valleys below, as well as to explore quieter streams and dipping in natural pools. The park also serves as a habitat for many species native to the region, emphasizing conservation efforts in a less-developed tourism area of Thailand. Established in 1980, the park provides an accessible yet peaceful natural environment, attractive for both day visitors and overnight campers. Apart from the waterfall, the park features lookout points and natural rock formations that add to its scenic appeal. The area is especially popular in the cooler months when the weather supports outdoor activities, and flowering season highlights the park’s botanical diversity. Facilities are basic but include camping grounds and visitor information to support eco-tourism and encourage environmental appreciation.
