Phu Luang Wildlife Sanctuary, Wildlife refuge in Loei Province, Thailand.
The sanctuary spans 897 square kilometers across mountain plateaus, forests, and grasslands, reaching elevations up to 1,571 meters above sea level.
Established in December 1974, the sanctuary expanded by 97 square kilometers in 1985 to protect the diverse ecosystems of northern Thailand.
The name Phu Luang translates to large mountain or mountain of the king in Thai, reflecting the local perception of its geological significance.
Visitors can explore the Nature Study Route from Amphoe Phu Ruea at Khok Nok Kraba, passing through Lan Suriyan and Pha Somdet viewpoints.
The sanctuary houses 120-million-year-old dinosaur footprints on its eastern side and supports a population of 100 wild Asian elephants.
