Phu Ruea National Park, National park in Loei Province, Thailand
Phu Ruea National Park spans 121 square kilometers of mixed forests, mountains, and valleys within the Phetchabun mountain range of northeastern Thailand.
The Thai government designated this mountainous area as a protected national park in 1979 to preserve its natural ecosystems and native wildlife populations.
The mountain's name derives from its boat-shaped cliff formation at the summit, reflecting the local Thai practice of naming geographical features after familiar objects.
Visitors should plan their trips between November and February when temperatures drop to 10 degrees Celsius, making it suitable for hiking and wildlife observation.
The park contains the Huai Phai waterfall, which drops 30 meters through multiple tiers, surrounded by deciduous dipterocarp and evergreen forest vegetation.
