The forested terrain of Don Khuntan National Park attains a maximum elevation of 1,363 m (4,472 ft). The topography is one of granite formations. There are at least two forest trails in the park.

Don Khuntan National Park holds the distinction of being the only national park in Thailand with its own railway station. It also is home to Thailand's longest tunnel. That 1.3km tunnel, constructed between 1907 and 1918, is for the train to pass through before arriving at the Khuntan Railway Station. There is a monument at the entrance to the tunnel commemorating those who died in its construction.

Don Khuntan National Park is best visited during the cool season why the area is dry and easy to trek.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
