Pha Cho is located in Mae Wang National Park, Doi Lo District, Chiang Mai Province. It is considered one of the most amazing geological phenomena in our country, which is caused by sediments accumulated on the edges of the basin and the foothills of the Thanon Thong Chai Klang mountain range. It is assumed that this area used to be a river flow route (as can be seen from the round pebbles and rocks that look like river rocks scattered along the soil). Later, when the geomorphology changed, this area was pushed up and became a hill and steep area. When the wind, rain, and water eroded and washed away the soil for a long time, this area became an earthen cliff and soil pillars with strange shapes that were called "Pha Cho". This place may look strong and majestic, but it is full of charm and beauty, especially with the beautiful lines and patterns (soil) created by nature, resulting in beautiful and magnificent natural sculptures. In addition to admiring the beauty of Pha Cho, this place also has a nature study trail of Pha Cho, approximately 900 meters long, with information signs with various meanings for you to study, a total of 10 stations. #VisitChiangMai #Thailand #MissNature #Travel #ChiangMai

#holidayvacation Pha Chor Canyon in Mae Wang National Park was created after Ping River changed its course many years ago. The passing of time can change the topography of a place and can create strange sights. First the shift created a hill and after time passed the hill eroded and changed into cliffs and soil pillars. If you have visited Phae Mueang Phi in Phrae, Phang Ta in Doi Phu Nang National Park, Phayao, or Lalu in Sra Kaew, you can also see the same kind of rock sculptures at Pha Chor. Today those pillars are 30 meters high around a canopy of forest and covers a large area. #holidayvacation#tripinspired

🌳⛺ “Pha Cho”, Thailand’s Grand Canyon, is beautiful and extraordinary. 🌳⛺ 🌳"Pha Cho" is located in Mae Wang National Park, Doi Lor District, Chiang Mai Province. It is considered one of the amazing geological phenomena in our country, similar to Phae Mueang Phi (Phrae), Khok Suea-Sao Din Na Noi (Nan), and Lalu (Sa Kaeo), etc. "Pha Cho" is formed from sediments accumulated on the edges of basins and foothills of the Thanon Thong Chai Klang mountain range since the late Tertiary period (about 5 million years ago). It is assumed that this area used to be a river flow route (as evidenced by the round pebbles and rocks similar to river rocks scattered throughout the soil). 🌳Pha Cho may look strong and majestic, but it is full of the charm of beauty, especially with the beautiful lines and patterns (soil) created by nature, resulting in beautiful and magnificent natural sculptures. As for the name Pha Cho, from asking the park officials, they said that the name Pha Cho comes from the shape of the cliff that looks like a layered cluster. (It looks like a bunch of flowers.) The locals here call this beautiful cliff "Pha Cho". 👉Another source states that Pha Cho was originally called "Pha Cho". In 2001, Ms. Duangdao Techawatthanaboon, Chief of Mae Wang National Park (in the position of Forestry Expert) came to survey the area and found this cliff. She changed the name from Pha Cho to the Central Thai language "Pha Cho". Currently, Mae Wang National Park has created a Pha Cho nature study trail about 900 meters long with information signs with various meanings for study, totaling 10 stations. 👉Pha Cho nature study trail is a round-trip footpath back the same way. There is a loop trail for a while after Pha Cho, the highlight, and then meets the original trail near Station 7. It takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour or more to walk around. The starting point is a walkway down through an open forest path and then a walkway along an old waterway. During this time, you will pass the interpretive signs. 📍 Listed from one to ten 📍 as follows: 1. Mango with a fly head, a poisonous plant 2. Human-like 3. Chamuang, a food and medicinal plant 4. Cycas, a soil-nourishing plant 5. White cheeks, different-flowered leaves 6. Mango vine 7. Kham Mok Luang 8. Por Tao Hai 9. Roman columns and 10. Pha Cho 🌈🌳⛺ For the highlights of this route, there is the "river rock" between stations 4 and 5. It is a layer of sediment with round river rocks embedded in it. These river rocks are formed from water erosion. They are sediments that flow along the water flow, scraping, rubbing, rolling on the water surface and sides of the watercourse, or they may move and collide with each other, causing the sediment rocks to become smaller and rounder. It is assumed that this is the path (flow) of the Ping River before. This river took more than 5 million years to create until it is in its current state. In many sections, there are rocks arranged beautifully on the sediment layer as if someone had arranged them. But this is the work of nature. 👉🌈🥾At this point, if anyone takes off their shoes and walks (barefoot) on the rocks, our feet will touch various small and large round rocks. It's like a foot massage, a natural spa in an interesting natural atmosphere. From the river rock point, the path will take you along the old canal through various stations before reaching the point of walking up to Pha Cho at "Mon Long Haeng", which the park has made into a staircase to walk up a moderately steep path to the hill above. It is a "test of strength" as the name of the mountain suggests, before reaching the viewpoint where, when looking down, you will see a special geological feature, forming several standing earthen pillars, which the park calls the "Roman Pillar". 📍🌈The Roman Pillar is the interpretive point of Station 9. It is a stone pillar about 30 meters high. On the pillar, there is a pattern formed by the accumulation of layers of sediment in the late Tertiary period (the period when the continental plates moved to their current positions). Later, geological changes occurred. This area was lifted up and eroded by water and wind. The data assumes that the early erosion in this area It may have the appearance of a cliff similar to Pha Cho (which is nearby), until over time, the cliff has been washed away and eroded away until only the earthen pillars with beautiful natural patterns remain. 🥾🚶🏿🚶🏿♀️To visit Pha Cho, tourists must walk along the paths set by the park. Do not deviate from the path. Also, do not touch the earthen cliff (at the point where Pha Cho is) because Pha Cho is a loose sediment that has been eroded by natural factors over time. Touching it will accelerate the damage. And this is the charm of Pha Cho, which is considered a natural phenomenon that is amazing and worth visiting to learn about. 🌈📍In addition to Pha Cho, in Mae Wang National Park There are also other interesting places to visit, such as the viewpoint (located near the Pha Cho walking path) where on a clear day you can see the view of 3 provinces: Chiang Mai, Lamphun and Lampang. Other interesting places include Kiew Suea Ten (a natural sculpture similar to Pha Taem), Doi Pha Tang, Khun Puai Waterfall, Tad Mok Waterfall, Nam Pla Duk Daeng, Mae Wang Waterfall, and Mae Chaem Rafting. ⛺For more information, please contact Mae Wang National Park. 📞Tel. 08-1881-4729, 06-3523-9518 📌🚙 https://maps.app.goo.gl/vR8bHMLsNBgKr7QbA #ChiangMaiTravel #TravelPlan #NaturalAttractions #trip

Pha Cho, located in Mae Wang National Park, is another amazing natural landmark. It was eroded by water and wind until it became a strangely shaped cliff, similar to a small Grand Canyon. The path to get there is quite tiring because it is quite far from the parking lot, especially on the way there, which requires walking up a hill, making you sweat quite a bit. But when you get there, I must say that it is worth it! You will see the magnificent tall stone pillars amidst the peaceful atmosphere of nature. The way back is easier because you walk through a narrow gap, which is definitely not as tiring as the way up. I recommend visiting on a weekday because if you come on a holiday, there will be a lot of people, it will be difficult to take pictures, and the peaceful atmosphere may be lost. ✨#VisitChiangMai

#Must-visit check-in spots in Thailand Known as the Grand Canyon of Thailand, it is located in the suburbs of Chiang Mai, about an hour and 20 minutes' drive away. If you drive here by yourself, you need to park your car at Parking Lot No. 1. Before you walk down the trail toward the Grand Canyon, at the observation deck you'll see long, lush green trees and a pretty open view. Following the signs, it is a simple trail, which is quite easy. After walking up a flight of stairs, you can climb to the top of the canyon. The canyon view is nice and worth checking out. Visited on weekdays, not too crowded; admission is 220 baht, cash only. Overall worth a visit.

Mae Wang District, Chiang Mai Province, which is open for the public and tourists to do “rafting” activities, has found that the atmosphere is lively. Since around the middle of last month, it has been found that many people and tourists have traveled to relax, bringing their families and friends to sit and relax in the pavilions by the stream and do rafting activities. At this time, if many people or tourists travel in the afternoon, they may not be able to do rafting activities or sit in the pavilions by the stream because each pavilion is full of people who have come to sit in the pavilions and raft until it is very crowded. This makes it impossible for local businesses to accommodate the number of tourists who come to use the service. Some groups of people and tourists have to find places to sit and relax by the stream and bring their own food and drinks. Some even have to sit in a circle and eat and drink in the middle of the water due to the extremely hot weather.

Pha Cho, the beauty of Mae Wang National Park, Doi Lo District, Chiang Mai Province. Who would have thought that Chiang Mai would have such a hidden beauty within this park? Coming here, we just saw the sign on the side of the road. The fun that continued from coming down from Doi Inthanon happened here again on a rainy day. After setting the GPS, we started our journey again. We came to Mae Wang National Park because we had heard reviews from other people that this place was very beautiful. On the way into this national park, it was shady as usual, but the first entrance was closed, so we had to drive to another entrance. We paid the entrance fee and drove for another 2 kilometers. There were some small uphill sections. When we arrived at the place, the officer asked to tear the ticket and suggested that we walk for another 400 meters by going down the stairs or park the car in another way, which would be a bit smoother. But since our car was already parked upstairs, we decided to walk down the stairs. While walking, it turned out that the distance was very long. We were quite sweaty. There were signs to Pha Cho all along the way, showing how many meters were left to reach our destination. And there will be officers stationed at about 2 points. Some parts will be steps that you have to climb up, which is quite high and some legs hurt, but it is very fun and very tiring. Taking pictures and laughing at the tiredness and sweat that has to walk inside to experience the wonder of Pha Cho. In just a moment, we will be almost there. When we reach the top, we will see the view of Pha Cho that we have to go down a little bit. Take some pictures and then walk down again. It can be said that it is worth walking up and down the stairs that the park has made. When we get there, we will be amazed by the wonder of nature. We are not tired anymore. From walking and stopping to rest, when the magnificence is anywhere, we feel that the mission is accomplished. Walking in is not in vain. Pha Cho is a natural sculpture formed from the accumulation of sediments in the river basin. It is sediments from the Tertiary period, approximately 5 million years old. It is assumed that this area was the Ping River before. Later, the geology changed. The sedimentary layer was pushed up. Later, natural factors such as wind and rain eroded and washed away the surface of the sedimentary layer, resulting in beautiful patterns consisting of layers of rock, soil, and sand, and according to natural phenomena. The villagers called it Pha Cho and changed its name to Pha Cho. It is currently popular among tourists. If you want to experience this beautiful natural phenomenon, I recommend you to come to Mae Wang National Park. You will be happier when you see beautiful nature. Just don't destroy it. How to get there: If you come from Doi Inthanon, take Highway 108. When you enter Doi Lor District, you will see a sign for Pha Cho. You must keep an eye out for the sign. When you see it, turn into the alley and drive along the road until you reach the park. #Chiang Mai travel #Missing nature #Secret location #Waiting for the day to travel #Thailand #Historic culture

Pha Cho, Mae Wang National Park, is a steep cliff with layers and curves. Looking up against the sky is very beautiful. Pha Cho is made from steep sediment that was caused by subsidence in order to be a river path in the past. The park's path is very convenient... ❤️ 📸 There are many beautiful photo spots. But... I want to tell everyone to bring water in case your throat gets dry along the way. #PhaCho #DoiLor #ChiangMaiTravel
