Hang Dong Canyon, (Thai: หางดงแคนยอน) also known as Chiang Mai Grand Canyon, is located in Soi Ban Rai 3 Mu 1, Nam Phrae, Hang Dong District, Chiang Mai Province, in the northern part of Thailand. Hang Dong Canyon is considered a tourist attraction in Chiang Mai. The canyon is about 48,000 square meters (520,000 sq ft).
History
[edit]Hang Dong Canyon used to be an abandoned field and was accidentally created by Mr. Chatkarin Trakulinsan, the land owner. Between 2004-2005, Trakulinsan sold soil and created a 50-meter (160 ft) deep hole, around 48,000 square meters (520,000 sq ft); this hole eventually turned into a canyon. 10 years later, the hole was filled with water becoming a gigantic pond surrounded by the canyon.[citation needed]
