Phu Pha Lek National Park

Phu Pha Lek National Park is a protected area in Thailand with limestone hills, forests, and rivers throughout its landscape. The terrain features various geological formations that create diverse habitats across the region.

The area was placed under protection in 2009 to preserve local ecosystems. Ancient rock paintings suggest that people lived in the region long before the park was established.

Ancient rock paintings at Pha Phak Wan, located 35 minutes from the main entrance, demonstrate the historical presence of human settlements in this region.

Visitors should arrive early to make the most of daylight for exploring and observing wildlife. Access to viewpoints and trails is straightforward, though paths can become slippery during rain.

The region ranks among Thailand's premier locations for bird watching enthusiasts. Rare bird species inhabit the area and can be spotted by patient observers.
