The park is mainly famous for Huai Mae Khamin Falls, which is more easily walked through than Erawan Falls, perhaps more beautiful and more importantly not as crowded because it is in a relatively remote area. There is no public transportation option to the park, so visitors need to arrange private transportation into the park. The park also has several caves and hot springs. Due to its remote location, the park is not as popular/crowded as Erawan National Park and that makes it a fantastic destination for those who give a bit more effort to get there. Huai Mae Khamin Falls which is the park’s main attraction is 240 km north/west from Bangkok, 110 km from Kanchanaburi and around 43 km from Erawan Falls intersection. The park is named after the adjacent Sri Nakarin Dam that holds the reservoir on the east of the park.
