Until the Ping River changed direction and flowed to another place, this area was raised into a high hill. Ping River sediment accumulated in layers and was eroded into cliffs and soil pillars with strange shapes. Due to its unusual natural features, similar to the Grand Canyon, Pha Cho has been nicknamed the "Grand Canyon of Thailand".

#ChiangmaiTravel Pha Cho is another sculpture created by nature. It was created from the erosion of wind and rain, which caused this place, which was believed to be land hundreds of years ago and used to be a path of the Ping River. When the Ping River changed direction to flow elsewhere, this area was raised up into a high hill that was covered in layers of Ping River sediment, which was eroded into cliffs and pillars of soil with strange shapes as seen. It has been nicknamed the Grand Canyon of Thailand. However, Pha Cho is a natural phenomenon. The path to see Pha Cho requires a lot of walking through the jungle, full of rocks and pebbles. However, along the way, there is still shade from the green forest and fresh air, which helps make the walk to Pha Cho not too tiring. It is very worthwhile to go see this unseen natural phenomenon. Due to the condition of the path, it is recommended to wear sneakers and bring a drink to sip along the way. Pha Cho is located in Mae Wang National Park, Santisuk Subdistrict, Doi Lo District, Chiang Mai Province. #DadMomTakeYouOnATravel #DadMomInviteYouOnATravel #LetsTravel #PhaCho #MaeWangNationalPark #ChiangMaiTravel #The value of a journey is not measured by distance, but by happiness.

Pha Cho is located in Mae Wang National Park, Doi Lo District, Chiang Mai Province. It is considered one of the most amazing geological phenomena in our country, which is caused by sediments accumulated on the edges of the basin and the foothills of the Thanon Thong Chai Klang mountain range. It is assumed that this area used to be a river flow route (as can be seen from the round pebbles and rocks that look like river rocks scattered along the soil). Later, when the geomorphology changed, this area was pushed up and became a hill and steep area. When the wind, rain, and water eroded and washed away the soil for a long time, this area became an earthen cliff and soil pillars with strange shapes that were called "Pha Cho". This place may look strong and majestic, but it is full of charm and beauty, especially with the beautiful lines and patterns (soil) created by nature, resulting in beautiful and magnificent natural sculptures. In addition to admiring the beauty of Pha Cho, this place also has a nature study trail of Pha Cho, approximately 900 meters long, with information signs with various meanings for you to study, a total of 10 stations. #VisitChiangMai #Thailand #MissNature #Travel #ChiangMai
