Lom Sak

Lom Sak is an administrative district in Phetchabun province featuring mountains and agricultural lands across its terrain. The district contains multiple sub-districts that together form a region of varied landscapes suitable for farming and forestry.

The district took shape during the Sukhothai Kingdom period in the 13th century as the region developed under early Thai rulers. This era established the foundation for how the area was organized and governed in later times.

Buddhist temples throughout the district serve as gathering places where people come together for religious ceremonies and community events. These temples remain central to how locals observe their traditions and celebrate important occasions.

The district is accessible through main highways connecting to Phetchabun province, with local transport options like songthaews and motorcycles available for getting around. Visitors will find that renting a motorcycle or taking shared taxis offers the most flexibility for exploring the area.

The area marks the gateway to a national park known for rare maple and pine forests thriving in tropical surroundings. These trees appear in a climate where visitors would not typically expect to find such cool-weather species.
