Situated along the banks of the Ping River in the lower part of northern Thailand, Tak is a quiet riverside city that serves as a good place to get a fresh of calm air while traveling along the north. The city does not have an airport, although the small
Mae Sot Airport in the next town is an easy enough location for travelers arriving by air. There are also buses that depart from Bangkok’s bus terminals directly for Tak, so getting in isn’t very challenging.
Most of the hotels in Tak are spread out around the city center and also near the borderlines, so travelers planning to take part in the famous
Hill Tribe Market in Mae Sot can find an accommodation within Tak to suit their needs. Being a riverside town, Tak is the perfect destination for lazy days spent by the water, followed by nights at the market or local street side restaurant where one can sample the local fares and mingle with the locals.
Waterfalls are also a popular attraction for travelers to Tak, and one of the best places to see some of the most beautiful falls is the famed
Lan Sang National Park. A designated and protected national park featuring some unique ecosystems, Lan Sang National Park should be on any park-goer’s list of national parks to visit in northern Thailand.
