The park also features a moss-covered hilltop chedi built to memorialise a queen of King Rama V and a series of steep hiking trails that take the adventurous high above the falls on Khao Sabap mountain. On the way back to town, don't miss the dazzling Chinese temple Wat Mong Gorn Phupharam.
If wanting to delve deeper into the wild, head up to Khao Kitchakut National Park 30 kilometres north of town. Bigger, more beastly and remote than Namtok Phlio, Khao Kitchakut's highlight is a 13-tier waterfall that can be viewed in several stages along a challenging hiking trail that winds up Khao Phra Bat mountain.
