Information

Background

In 1976, the Royal Forest Department’s Secretariat book stated, “King Bhumibol Adulyadej, His Majesty wishes to conserve the forest in Mae Sam Sub-district, Si Satchanalai District, Sukhothai Province. The area is densely forested and home to a variety of wildlife. Local residents in this area and nearby have benefited from the water generated by the forest’s watershed. According to Prime Minister General Kriengsak Chamanan, the Royal Forest Department should designate the area as a forest park as directed by the King’s wishes.”

The Royal Forest Department called for a meeting on January 30, 1976, and issued a letter to the Forest Management Division (under the National Park Division and Wildlife Conservation Division) to appoint a representative to work with Tak and Sukhothai Provincial Forest Offices to investigate forests in Mae Sin-Mae San (So Tho 1) project. The working group had investigated the area and concluded that this forest area should be established as a National Park, especially in the forest area that is a water source. The Royal Forest Department then issued an order to conduct a preliminary survey the Mae Sin-Mae San Project Forest Area. It concluded that the area is an important water source, with various valuable plant and animal species. There are also several waterfalls with beautiful scenery, suitable to be established as a National Park.

The Royal Forest Departmentt has submitted a proposal to the National Park Boerd. Which agreed to designate the area as a National Park during a meeting on December 12thIn, 1978, the area was designated suitable by the National Park Service and Forest Department and the and to use the name “Si Satchanalai National Park” was established. The area will include in conjunction with a royal decree establishing the boundaries of Mae Sin, Forest, Mae San Forest, Mae Sung Fang-Sai Forest, and Mae Tha Phae Forest in the Mae Lon, Mae Sam and Ban Kaeng Sub-district, Si Satchanalai District, and Klang Dong Sub-district, Thung Saliam District in Sukhothai Province. To be designated a National Park in 1981, as published in the Royal Gazette, Volume 98, Section 70, dated May 8th, 1981,The area became Thailand’s is the country’s 26th National Park in 1981, covering approximately 3.0.34 square kilometers“

Si Satchanalai National Park’s general forest featureshigh fold mountains (complex mountain landscape). In the west of the area, there is a rocky mountain with steep cliffs. It is a high mountain range that includes as the peaks of Doi Mae Wang Chang and Doi Mae Mok, and it runs north to south in a curve that encircles the area. The majority of the forest, approximately 93.40%, is mixed deciduous forest.

Sukhothai Province’s climate is classified as tropical savannah, indicating that it is a region with a distinct rainy season alternating with dry period. It is divided into three distinct seasons:
Summer begins in February and lasts until May.
In February, two winds collide: the north wind from China and the southeastern wind from the South China Sea, resulting occasional tropical storms. The temperature soars in March and April and by mid-May, sporadic rain has begun and the temperature begins to dip.
May to October is the rainy season, though it may start earlier in April. Tropical storms typically pass through this period into August and September, bringing heavy rains.
Winter is defined as the period between November and January, and it can get quite cold during some winters. Between late December and early January, the weather is quite cold for Thailand, though the temperature rises steadily until the beginning of February, the month that officially marks the start of summer.

The ecosystems in Si Satchanalai National Park can be classified into 4 types as follows:
(1) Tropical Evergreen Foresthas the most rainfall and the soil is constantly moist. It appears on on both the plains and the high mountains, and can be found scattered throughout the National Park. The important plant species are Dipterocarpus spp, Lagerstroemia calyculata Kurz , Afzelia xylocarpa, Hydnocarpus ilicifolius, Tetrameles nudiflora, Dyospyros, Aphanamixis polystachya, Garuga pinnata, Acacia catechu, Hopea odorata, Chukrasia velutina, and Spondias pinnata.

(2) Mixed Deciduous Forest without Teak has a sparse tree covering with mostly medium-sized trees. The forest floor however is densely packed with many different types of bamboo. In the dry season, most of the trees shed their leaves, and the area is prone to forest fires. This area is smaller than the evergreen forest, and the important plant species are Lagerstroemia calyculata Kurz, Lagerstroemia Tomemtosa, Lagerstroemia Speciosa, Xylia zylocarpa, Pterocarpus macrocarpus, Afzelia zylocarpa, Cassia garrettiana, Cassia Fistula, Dalbergia assamica, Irvingia malayana, Mangifera caloneura, Dillenia s suffruticosa, Diospyros dasyphylla, Lannea coromandelica, and Adenanthera pavonine.

(3) Mixed Deciduous Forest with Teak is similar to Mixed Deciduous Forest without Teak. It is rarely found in this National Park. Its main species, unsurprisingly, is Teak, as well as Schleichera oleosa, Xylia xylocarpa, Pterocarpus macrocarpus, Canarium subulatum, Bombox anceps, Dalbergia dongnaiensis, Dalbergai Assamica, Garuga pinnata, Spondias pinnata, and Afzelia xylocarpa.

(4) Deciduous Dipterocarp Forest can be found on both the plains and the high mountains. The soil is lateritic soil, which is reddish in color and know locally as Pa Daeng. It is a sparse forest with small and medium-sized trees that are scattered between overgrown, grassy areas. Common plants include Arundinaria pusilla, and various types of bamboo.

Wildlife:
The fold mountain (complex mountain are suitable habitats for many animals and the watershed area contains many waterways that are ideal for the habitat and breeding of many species of reptiles and amphibians.
