Background
In 1968, rangers from the Chiang Mai Regional Forest Office surveyed and decorated it as a resting place. Later that year, in 2524, the Royal Forest Department approved the establishment of that name's "Forest Park." Until 1988, the "Bo Nam Ron Fang Forest Park" encompassed 31 square kilometers or 19,375 rai (31 square kilometers) of Lum Nam Fang National Reserved Forest. The National Park Divisiondispatched officials to take possession of the Bo Nam Ron Fang Forest Park in order to explore and establish a National Park.
In 2000, the Government Gazette, Decree Volume 117, Part 81 Ko, dated September 4th, 2000, designated this National Park as Thailand's 97th National Park. The "Mae Fang National Park" encompasses three Fang Basin National Reserved Forest District in Chiang Mai Province: Mae Ai, Fang, and Chaiprakarn District. The western border with the Union of Myanmar is approximately 70 kilometers long, and the park itself covers an area of approximately 524 square kilometers, or approximately 327,500 rai. The "Fang Hot Springs" and "Doi Pha Hom Pok " are two noteworthy natural features in the area at 2,285 meters above sea level, being Thailand's second highest summit.
Later, on March 14th, 2006, Mae Fang National Park was renamed to "Doi Pha Hom Pok National Park" to resemble the name "Doi Pha Hom Pok." It is an essential and outstanding tourist attraction. On September 26th, 2008, the name was changed again to "Doi Fa Hom Pok National Park." and it has been changed back to use this name Doi Pha Hom Pok until now again.
Note : After paying the entrance fee to the National Park, please carry the receipt for inspection.
