Tak's TAT office is trying to attract more tourists to the province during the green season. While the main – and arguably the most impressive – attraction of the province, Ti Lo Su Waterfall could be out of reach of visitors due to heavy rains making the road leading to the waterfall totally impassible, the province offers other worthy draws including the Huai Nam Nak Hot Spring and the Namtok Pha Charoen National Park famous for its flower garden.
Tak province is located about 430 km west of Bangkok and can be reached by a 7-8 hour bus or van ride. In the west the province borders with the Kayin state in Myanmar and in the south with the largest of the western provinces of Thailand, Kanchanaburi.
If you are visiting Tak, it is a good idea to check Kanchanaburi as well. Besides an abundance of war-related sights, Kanchanaburi offers an absolutely unique experience to those explorers who venture into the deths of the province during the monsoon season. Do not miss the famous Eravan waterfalls, the ruins of the Khmer city of Mueang Phra Singh and a hidden gem sitting on the border with Myanmar, Sanghklaburi.
The distance between the two destinations is about 300 km. It can be covered by bus or van.
