Khun Nan National Park (Thai: อุทยานแห่งชาติขุนน่าน) is a protected area on the western side of the Luang Prabang Range in the Thailand-Laos border area, on the Thai side of the ridge. It is named after Khun Nan subdistrict (tambon) of Chaloem Phra Kiat District of Nan Province and includes parts located in Bo Kluea District. The park is located north of the Doi Phu Kha National Park and was established in 2009[1] with an area of 153,982 rai ~ 249 square kilometres (96 sq mi).[2]
