Taksin Maharat National Park

Taksin Maharat National Park is in the Mae Sot District of Tak Province. The park is close to Lan Sang National Park and covers an area of 149 Km 2 . Taksin Maharat was officially designated a National Park on the 23rd December 1981, becoming Thailand's 40th National Park. The park was originally named "Ton Krabak Yai National Park" because of the enormous Krabak Tree (Anisoptera Spp.) which grows there. Later on the Royal Forest Department changed the name to Taksin Maharat National Park to honor King Taksin the Great. The Park also has amazing geological phenomenon - a natural stone bridge. It is also believed that King Alongphaya of Burma used to march his army through this area.
