Sights Namtok Huai Luang or Namtok Bak Teo (น้ำตกห้วยหลวง หรือ น้ำตกบักเตว) - Plunging down three steps from an elevation of 30 metres, the waterfall has a small pool with a white beach and turquoise coloured water. Phlan Yao Rock Garden (สวนหินพลานยาว) - Rocks in different formations are scattered around the area. Pha Phueng Viewpoint (จุดชมทิวทัศน์ผาผึ้ง) - The viewpoint is next to the rock garden. Namtok Koeng Mae Phong (น้ำตกเกิ้งแม่พอง) - The waterfall is south of Namtok Huai Luang along the nature trail. It originates from the Lam Dom Noi Stream. Kaeng Sila Thip (แก่งศิลาทิพย์) - Huai Luang Stream runs over a rock terrace and turns fierce in the rapids. In the middle of the stream, its power has created many holes on the rock surface in different sizes and depths called "kumphalak". Phlan Kong Kwian (พลาญกงเกวียน) - The vast rock terrace with rock shelters at the front is home to wild flowers and plants. In previous days, travellers could seek shelter here. It came to be called "phlan kong kwian", which means "cart terrace". Phu Hin Dang (ภูหินด่าง) - a cliff-top place to view the forest scenery of Laos and Cambodia. The cliff is brightly coloured. Geologists explain that this is due to dry weather millions of years ago catalyzing mineral residues in the seawater.
