| Tak
is a large mountainous province with a long border touching
Myanmar, giving a strong Burmese influence to the area. |
|
| |
Tak's
main attractions are the lakes and waterways that crisscross
the region.
Popular cruises take visitors from the Bhumibol Dam, whose
lake is the largest in Southeast Asia, through to Doi
Tao in Chiang Mai. This leisurely cruise passes through
spectacular scenery of mountains and waterfalls for over
140 kilometres. |
| |
| Two
national parks along the Mae Sot Road are popular with
visitors. Taksin Maharat National Park features viewpoints,
streams, cascading waterfalls and abundant wildlife, while
Lan Sang has beautiful falls, walking trails and picnic
areas. |
| |
| Serious
travellers journey further, however, to the tiny village
of Umphang, perched on the Myanmar border. This is the
start of a remarkable adventure of whitewater rafting,
trekking, elephant riding, mingling with hilltribes and
the sight of Thailand's most breathtaking falls, Ti Lo
Su. |
