Pha Dang National Park is probably not worth visiting specially. But if you go to Doi Ang Khang, where I recommend everyone to go, then why not drop in, all anyway you will pass by. The place is nice.
Immediately I will say that there is. The main thing is pretty beautiful waterfall, albeit small. And the second is hot springs, where almost no one, because the place is not popular at all.

Sri Sang Wan Falls
At first I went to the waterfall Sri Sang Wan. On google it is indicated, like Si Sangwan Waterfall. What is more correct, I do not know. Forever Thais with problems with transcription, sometimes 3-4 options is found
Si Sangwan looks like Buatong Waterfall, he has the same “cover”, so to speak. That is, the bottom is covered calcite deposits, which is why the bed color is creme brulee. Only compared to Buatong, there is no one here, I walked there alone. AT This plan I really like nezazezhennye place, the air cleaner
Huge thermometer shows quite suitable temperature.

Or, judging by the Sri Sang Wan Waterfall tablet.
In addition to the waterfall there is a small tropical garden with grass. (Herb Garden), but he is clearly not particularly cared for. Everything is overgrown there, and just like the usual corner of the jungle.
Near the garden I met a crowd of Thai boy scouts. Apparently here them taken out for a couple of days so they can train their boy scout skills. It was funny to watch how squealing and laughing children hang out on a rope crossing over the river. Commanders mercilessly shook the rope to scouts fall into the river, but they held out their last strength.

Hot springs Pong Arng
The territory of the sources is quite small. It costs literally 5 minutes Sources do not strike imagination, literally two “smoking” pond with hot water (there are different temperatures) and separate stone-bounded font, where you need to climb for soaking.

Traditionally there is a playground for tents.

The bottom looks funny like on another planet
There are no people, I met only workers of the national park and an elderly couple, that just took the procedure in this very font. They me gestures touted, they say, farang, come to us, but I do not like baths, all the more so hot in the heat.
In general, the place is pleasant, like all other national parks, Thais can do beautifully. I wish they were also behind the trash cities followed, as they do in nat parks.

How to get there
Waterfalls and hot springs are located close to each other, but to them are different roads from the road. That is, you will need visit two places separately and park twice. Pointers eat on the road.
If you look at the map, both the waterfall and the springs are located on one side of the road, sources slightly lower on the map. So Therefore, if we go from Chiang Mai, we will first turn on springs and then turn on the waterfall.
If you want to spend the night somewhere nearby, then you need to look hotels in Chiang Dao, for example, on RoomGuru. And I myself stayed at Chiang Dao Hut. This is not very close, but you can cool cave to glance.
P.S. If you are in those parts and like hot springs, then recommend Fang Hot Springs, the coolest thing I’ve seen on north.
