Sights & Activities
The dense jungle of the Nam Ha National Protected Area is home to clouded leopards, gaur
and elephants (plus the odd tiger - we know, we met one!). Visiting the NPA involves go-
ing on a trek with an experienced guide. Guides also offer rafting , canoeing and mountain
biking along the Nam Tha River, as well as homestays . The Nam Ha Ecotourism Project
( www.unescobkk.org/culture/our-projects/sustainable-cultural-tourism-and-ecotourism/namha-ecotourism-
project ) tries to ensure tour operators and villagers work together to provide an authentic
experience for trekkers with minimum impact to local communities and the environment.
Places of interest within easy cycling or motorbiking distance include Wat Ban Vieng Tai
and Wat Ban Luang Khon , near the airfield; a hilltop stupa, That Phum Phuk , about 4km west
of the airfield; a small waterfall about 6km northeast of town past Ban Nam Dee ; plus a
host of Khamu, Lenten, Thai Dam and Thai Lü villages dotted along dirt roads through
ricefields. Pick up a map and brochures at the provincial tourism office before setting off.
