The Mae Hong Son Tourism Office is planning to
launch a new trekking route to allow tourists to walk through a fertile
forest to visit two beautiful waterfalls, an official said.
The nature trek route along Mae Sakued creek in
Tambon Pha Bong in Muang district was on Tuesday visited by Yothin
Taptimthong, director of the Mae Hong Son office of the Tourism
Authority of Thailand, and his deputy, Atthapol Thaweesunthorn.
Yothin said the visit was made for his office to prepare a package for
tourists who love nature, forests and waterfalls, to take the Huay Mae
Sakued Trek.
According to Yothin, the trek is about 1,860 metres long, running along the creek and through a fertile forest with big trees.
He said the highlights of the trek are two medium-sized waterfalls, Kued
Luang Waterfall and Mae Sakued Waterfall. The two waterfalls should be
visited during the rainy and winter seasons, when there is an abundant
cascade of water.
The nature-study trek is under the supervision of the Mae Surin
Waterfall National Park and the area is protected by the third
protection unit of the national park.
The entrance to the trek and the unit’s office is about 9 kilometres
from Mae Hong Son’s provincial seat, with the road to the office another
three kilometres along the entrance road.
Tourists can call the Mae Surin Waterfall National Park office at 053-061-073 to learn more about the trek.
