This rare phenomenon occurs only when the dam’s water level reaches its peak, submerging the trunks and mirroring their vast canopies as they stretch skywards. But tourists only have a short winter window before water levels fall and this natural wonder vanishes.
Especially beautiful are the crowns of the trees, reflected as perfectly round haloes in the water beneath.
A long-tail boat ride from Mae Pang pier allows visitors to reach the trees in just 15-20 minutes and costs 100-200 baht per person.
Tourists can also explore the gorgeous lakeside scenery or camp near the boat pier, where villagers provide food and services 24/7.
