Background
Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives (Major General Sanan Kajornprasat) on February 22nd, 1990 visited the government's Forest Destruction Prevention and Suppression Center 1, at Ban Pha Cho, Nong Lom Sub-district, Dok Khamtai District, Phayao Province, issuing a policy on forest resource conservation in Phayao province, to allow Chiang Rai's forests to develop a comprehensive forest protection action plan, including reforestation and forest fire prevention by determining the total area of forest required to establish a wildlife sanctuary or National Park area, and to exclude the degraded forest areas to be governed under the Land Reform Office.
The Prevention and of Encroachment Forest Office (at the time) requested a grant from the National Park Division (at the time) for the year 1990 (additional) budget to conduct a survey. A National Park is a completely forested area. Later that year, the Chiang Rai Regional Forest Office conducted a forest area survey of the Mae Yom on the right bank Forestry Project (Cho Ro 17) Part 5 - 10, and Nam Pi Forest (Cho Ro. 38) between the dates of 1st and 30th September 2010, and prepared a report to the National Park Division, Royal Forest Department, for consideration. It is entirely appropriate for it to be designated as a National Park due to the existence of numerous advantages as a result of the area's beautiful natural surroundings and having the forest in pristine condition. Mr. Worawut Amornthat, a Forestry Technical Officer Lavel.5, conducted a survey of Mae Yom Fang-Khwa Forest and the area surrounding it in order to establish a National Park. This is to conserve the forest in order to preserve its integrity and beauty.
Doi Phu Nang National Park encompasses three national protected forests: 1) Mae Yom National Reserved Forest in the Kuan, Pong, Sa, Chiang Muan, and Ban Mang Sub-district in Chiang Muan District, Phayao Province, a national reserved forest announced in 1975, 2) Mae Tam National Reserved Forest in the Ban Pin Sub-district, Dok Khamtai District, Phayao Province, a national reserved forest announced in 1962, under the Forest Protection and Conservation Act, and 3) Mae Rong Khui National Reserved Forest in the Nong Lom Sub-district, Dok Khamtai District, Phayao Province, a national reserved forest announced in 1963, under the Forest Protection and Conservation Act.

The forest resources In Doi Phu Nang National Park can be classified into 4 types: (2) Hill evergreen forest covers about 10 percent of the area and is found along ridges or on mountains with an altitude of more than 1,000 meters above sea level. They can also becombined with mixed deciduous forest located in Doi Phu Nang, Doi Luang, Doi Pratu Pha, and consist of various plants such as Castanopsis inermis, Quercus helferiana, Castanopsis diversifolia, Benguet Pine, and lower ground plants such as Paco Fern, and the Ground Orchid. (3) Deciduous dipterocarp forest covers 30% of the area and is a sparse forest. The soil is sandy loam or laterite soil so has little fertility, and forest fires are common in the dry season. It can be observed in plain or relatively flat areas next to mountains, including Sa Creek, Sing Creek, Rawang Creek, Mun Creek, Khing Creek, Kham Creek, and is home to essential plants such as Burma Sal, Burmese Sal, Dipterocarpus tuberculatus Roxb, Dipterocarpus intricatus Dyer, Shorea roxburghii, Cratoxylum formosum, Terminalia corticosa Pierre ex Laness, Terminalia alata Heyne, and lower ground plants such as Cynodon dactylon. (4) Mixed deciduous forest covers approximately 40% though coverage is sparse and many of the trees are small. Some places are scattered with mixed bamboo. The soil is sandy loam and forest fires occur annually. This type of forest is found in the areas of Lamai Creek, Doi Luang Creek, Doi Pha Tang, and Doi Khun Nam Pi, and are home to trees such as Teak, Burma Padauk, Iron Wood, Afzelia, White Myrtle, Tamalin, Vitex pinnata, Schleichera oleosa, and ground plants such as Bambusa nutans, Dendrocalamus strictus, and Gigantochloa albociliata Munro. |
