This national park is at km. 24-26 of Highway No. 2227, some 60 kilometres from Amnat Charoen centre. It covers a mountainous area of 252 square kilometres. Its rich and fertile jungles are habitats to a great number of different plantlife. There are several large stone flatlands in different locations locally called “Dan”. Major attractions in the park include:
Phu Pha Taem is a cliff adorned with prehistoric paintings, dating back to 3,000-4,000 years ago. The cliff-face itself looks somewhat lile a caves because of rock slides.
Pha Maklua and Phu Pha Hom are suitable for viewing the surrounding.
Phu Sa Dok Bua is 423 metre high. Atop the mount are several rocky depressions, each measuring about 2-5 metre wide filled with different genres of water lilies throughout the year. Nearby is a large cave which used to be the hide-out of Communist followers.
