Also within the park's boundaries is the formidable Khao Mokoju mountain, which soars to 1,964 metres and requires a five-day trek to the summit. A more manageable viewpoint is Chong Yen, reputed to be an outstanding sunset perch located 28 km from park headquarters along the only road. Along the way you might catch a glimpse of wild jackal, porcupine, 450 bird species and rare flowers that grow in the high altitudes.
Camping, basic accommodation, a restaurant and a small hot spring pool are available near park headquarters. A helicopter landing pad draws attention to just how remote Mae Wong is. If visiting by car or motorbike, you'll need to fill out a form at headquarters before heading further into the park. Still, if you have enough gas in your vehicle and enough time in the day, the park is worth a trip to experience pristine jungle at this seriously "out there" destination. It's also an excellent camping spot if you've more time to spare. Although maps and brochures are only provided in Thai, rangers at the visitor centre can speak limited English and it's possible to arrange guided treks.
