Tham Sakoen National Park is a national park with large, spectacular cave chambers, ideal for adventure tourism. The park features beautiful waterfalls surrounded by dense forest and scenic viewpoints overlooking wide plains and the nearby Sakean village close to Nam Ngim Reservoir. Behind the park, the limestone mountains of Pha Luang extend across the landscape, and in the winter, fog often blankets the valleys below.

Points of Interest
The park offers stunning scenery along the route from Song Khwae District, Nan Province to Chiang Kham District, Phayao Province.

Tham Luang Sakean covers the high-end mountains at the far end of the Luang Prabang range, extending toward the Laos border. The area is rich in pristine forest and is part of the Nam Yao and Nam Suat reserved forests. It remains an important watershed and features numerous natural highlights, including large caves, waterfalls, and the highest peak, Doi Ji, offering breathtaking views and misty mornings.

Phatharn Waterfall is a medium-sized waterfall with clear water flowing year-round from Nam Ngim stream, originating from Doi Ji Mountains. It has six main tiers, approximately 30 meters high and 5 meters wide, located near the park headquarters.
