Geography
Namtok Pha Charoen National Park is 30 km southeast of Mae Sot and 57 km southwest of Tak town.[2] The park's area is 481,550 rai ~ 770 square kilometres (300 sq mi).[3]
Climate
As the area of the national park is affected by the southwestern monsoon, its weather is cool and can be divided into three seasons: summer (March–May), when the weather is not extremely hot because of the altitude and breezy condition of the area; the rainy season (June–October), when there are heavy and continuous rains throughout; and winter (November–February) when the weather is not much cold with the lowest temperature of 6°C. Rainfall in the park is between 1,500-2,000 mm per year.
Flora and fauna
The area has many deciduous trees, pine forest and curcuma (Siam tulip), which is a flower with big bright orange coloured petals. It blooms during July to October every year at the natural park office area.
Wild animals found in the national park include gaur, deer, Muntiacus Muntjak, birds, Indochinese tigers, wild boars, red junglefowls, pheasants, snakes, porcupines, masked palm civets, gibbons, monkeys, mouse deer, and wolves.
