The tallest peak is Doi Pha Hom Pok at, the second highest in Thailand.
Doi Pha Hom Pok National Park is mostly covered with forest, where tree species such as Hopea odorata predominate with rare plant species such as Impatiens jurpioides and butterflies such as Teinopalpus imperialis and Meandrusa lachinus. Doi Lang, located within the park, is an excellent area for birdwatching. There are many hot mineral springs near the park headquarters in an area of 10 rai. Water temperature ranges from 90-130 °C. The largest pond has hot steam rising 40–50 meters above the ground.
