Stroll Around Pae Muang Pee Forest Park

One of the most popular landmarks that people like to visit when they are in Phrae is the Pae Muang Pee Forest Park, a newly designated national park, home to beautiful red-brown rock columns created naturally through erosion, just like the Grand Canyon but way smaller. It's the Grand Canyon of Phrae. Due to the eroded sandstone, you will find plenty of weirdly-shaped cliffs and rocks to explore at Pae Muang Pee Forest Park. There are not a lot of trees around and so if you are there in the afternoon, be sure to stay hydrated.

There are several small hiking trails that will take you around the forest park. The trail goes up the cliff allowing you to see Pae Muang Pee Forest Park from above and it goes down into the canyon where you can then appreciate these rock columns up close. Pae Muang Pee Forest Park's opening hours are from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM and there is no entrance fee whatsoever. When a popular tourist attraction doesn't have an entrance fee, you know you are now off the beaten path in Thailand.
