Huay Mae Khamin Waterfall น้ำตกห้วยขมิ้น
This park covers 1,532 square-kilometres. Park headquarters are 105 kilometres from Kanchanaburi.
Major park attractions include the lovely 7- tiered Huay Mae Khamin Waterfall, boat trips on the scenic
reservoir, and encroaching deciduous forest and bamboo groves where kingfishers, babblers and numerous
other birds species are readily seen. Larger, more elusive mammals within the park's remoter areas include
deer, elephants and tigers. Phra and Niramit Caves near the park headquarters comprise other attractions.
Bungalow accommodations are available. The park's relative inaccessibility necessitates either a punishing
40-kilometre drive along a dry weather track, and negotiable only by motorcycles, pickup or 4-wheel-drive
vehicles, or a 45-75-minute boat ride from the Tha Kradan Pier 24 kilometres north of the Sri Nakharin Dam.
