Kaeng Tana National Park
Isaan's scenic river park where the Moon River meets the Mekong — rock rapids, waterfalls, and the famous two-colour confluence visible from the bank.

About this Place
Kaeng Tana National Park encompasses a scenic stretch of the Moon River (Mun River) before it meets the Mekong — a park defined by river channels, rock rapids, forested islands, and a quiet beauty that makes it one of Isaan's most pleasant nature destinations. The park takes its name from the Kaeng Tana rapids — a broad, shallow rock rapids section of the Moon River where seasonal rock formations create mini-islands accessible by foot in dry season. Tad Tone waterfall within the park is swimmable and picturesque. The confluence of the Moon and Mekong rivers at the park boundary (near Khong Chiam town) is called Two-Colour River (where the brown Moon meets the blue-grey Mekong in distinct visible streams). Bungalow accommodation and camping available. The park sees few foreign visitors — a genuine off-the-beaten-path Isaan destination combining geology, wildlife, and river scenery.
