The Story of Khun Sathan National Park

In 1998, Royal Forest Department was informed by National Park Centre in Nan, saying that there were plentiful areas of Huai Mae Kaning Forest, Nam Sa Forest, Sakorn Forest, and the right-side forest of the southern Nan River. These were worthy of being turned into a national park. After that, officers started to explore those areas and developed the environments around until everything was ready.

Finally, there came a new national park named ‘Khun Sathan National Park’.
