Bang Lang National Park is a protected area in Yala province in southern Thailand. The park encompasses terrestrial forested areas together with the Bang Lang Reservoir created by a dam on a local river.
The reservoir is the parks dominant feature and concentrates recreational uses such as shoreline viewing and boat access; surrounding land consists of typical southern Thai forest and hilly terrain. Visitor facilities and access are generally oriented around the reservoir and its immediate shoreline rather than extensive developed trails.
