Going to Hang Dong, where to go? Highlights all year round.
Travel to Hang Dong, Doi Suthep-Pui National Park
For those who love peaceful nature and prefer less crowded nature tourism, “Sri Sangwan Waterfall” is located within the Doi Suthep-Pui National Park Protection Unit 2. This medium-sized waterfall is nestled in a lush forest. The waterfall originates from the upper Mae Pan Stream, with moderately high rock formations. The creamy white water cascades down the rock formations, creating a beautiful sight, especially during the rainy season, from late fall to early winter, when the water is at its highest and most beautiful.
Sri Sangwan Waterfall is open daily from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Rochalia recommends that you inquire for more details at Doi Suthep-Pui National Park, telephone 0 5321 0244, 08 6420 5242.
Travel to Hang Dong, Ob Khan National Park
For tourists who enjoy nature trekking or simply want to relax amidst mountains and rivers, Ob Khan National Park is a vast natural area covering parts of Hang Dong District. A prominent tourist attraction is Nam Phrae Subdistrict, where the Khan River meanders through a high valley, eroding the rocks along the banks into striking patterns and shapes. The park has established nature trails for visitors to experience the beauty of nature up close.

Travel to Hang Dong Grand Canyon, Chiang Mai
Perfect for adventurers and tourists who enjoy outdoor activities, the Grand Canyon Chiang Mai, located in Nam Phrae Subdistrict, Hang Dong District, is a unique and unseen tourist attraction. With a pond spanning over 30 rai, it’s surrounded by unusually shaped embankments, formed by natural erosion from water and rain, resembling the Grand Canyon in other countries. It’s now been developed into the Grand Canyon Water Park, a small water park with a variety of water rides and activities, allowing visitors to enjoy both sightseeing and fun in safety.
Open for tourists to visit every day from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Rochalia recommends viewing more details at Grand Canyon Water Park’s Facebook page.
Visit Hang Dong, Muang Kung Pottery Village
Ideal for those passionate about local handicrafts and wanting to experience the charm of authentic Chiang Mai life, Muang Kung Pottery Village, located in Nong Kwai Subdistrict, Hang Dong District, is an ancient village where nearly every household still continues to practice traditional pottery. Their signature product is the “Nam Ton,” a narrow-mouthed, bulging-in-the-middle, tapered-bottomed pot with a lid. These intricately carved pots are perfect for practical use or simply as charming home decorations. Tourists can now observe the pottery making process and purchase handicrafts as souvenirs.
