Amphoe Wang Nam Khiao: Discover Nature and Culture

Around Amphoe Wang Nam Khiao, you’ll find places to visit with a range of focuses: nature, cycling and religious imagery. The Khao Phaeng Ma Nature Trail is a 1,800-metre loop; the Maan Fah Waterfall flows only during the rainy season. There is also a viewpoint in Thap Lan National Park and a park with several places of worship. This variety gives you concrete starting points for planning your holiday: would you like to include a nature trail and the chance to spot wildlife, plan a bike ride or explore religious imagery? If you’re looking for a holiday rental, you can first decide what you’d like to focus your excursions on, then compare the location of a property with the places you plan to visit.

Nature Trails and Bike Rides

The Khao Phaeng Ma Nature Trail is in the wider area around Amphoe Wang Nam Khiao and is 1,800 metres long. A highlight of the trail is spotting gaur through binoculars in the direction of the boundary of Khao Yai National Park. A sighting is not guaranteed.

A loop route through the Khao Phaeng Ma area is considered popular with cyclists. A different option is another bike ride described as a one-day tour through Khao Yai National Park, returning via Pak Chong. For planning your day, you can therefore consider a loop route or a full-day tour as two different options.

Waterfall and Viewpoint

In the surrounding area of the destination is Maan Fah Waterfall, near checkpoint 13 of Thap Lan National Park (Suan Hom). It is 50 metres high and 30 metres wide, and is considered a medium-sized waterfall. It flows only during the rainy season. If the waterfall is an important place for you to visit, take this seasonal difference into account when planning.

Pha Kep Tawan is in the wider area. It is considered a landmark and viewpoint in Thap Lan National Park. It is located in Thai Samakkhi Subdistrict, Wang Nam Khiao District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province. This means there is a seasonally flowing waterfall and a destination known as a viewpoint, offering options for different nature interests.

Religious Imagery

Bhudha Park Wang Nam Khiao is in the wider area and is also known by the local name Kham Chanot Wang Nam Khiao. It is a possible stop for spiritually minded cyclists. Several places of worship feature depictions of Lord Anantanakarat Naga, Lord Sri Sutho Naga, Lady Sri Pathum Naga and the Giant Rainbow Statue of Lord Anantanakarat Naga. These named motifs give the park a different focus from the nature destinations and cycling routes.

Choose Your Excursion and Holiday Rental

If you’re planning a family trip, start with your fellow travellers’ interests: should your stay focus more on a nature trail and wildlife spotting, a bike ride or religious imagery? When looking for a holiday rental, you can then compare the location of a specific property with the places you’d like to visit. This lets you base your choice of location on your excursion plans, rather than treating different activities as part of the same day’s itinerary.
