Did You Know?
Unique Limestone
The 'Bua Tong' in the park's name refers to the 'sticky waterfalls' (Namtok Bua Tong). These waterfalls are unique because the limestone rocks are not slippery due to a specific mineral composition, allowing visitors to easily climb up them.
Colors of Chet Si
The 'Nam Phu Chet Si' (Seven-Color Fountain) section of the park is named for the way light reflects off the minerals in the spring water, creating a spectrum of colors, particularly beautiful on sunny days.
Natural Playground
The park's main attraction, Namtok Bua Tong, is famous for allowing visitors to climb directly up the tiered waterfalls without fear of slipping, making it a natural and thrilling playground for all ages.
Location Name
The park is situated in ตำบล Mae Ho Phra, which translates to 'Mother Ho Phra Sub-district' in Chiang Mai, a region known for its natural beauty and mountainous landscapes.
