Phu Thok

The sandstone formation of Phu Thok rises 359 meters above sea level, featuring two distinct peaks known as Phu Thok Yai and Phu Thok Noi.

This natural landmark has been a geographical reference point for local communities throughout centuries, leading to its inclusion on the provincial seal of Bueng Kan.

The name Phu Thok originates from the Isan language, translating to 'lonely mountain', reflecting its isolated position in the surrounding flat landscape.

Visitors can reach the summit through a wooden walkway system that provides safe access while offering views of the surrounding countryside.

A Buddhist temple, Wat Phu Thok, occupies a cave near the top of Phu Thok Noi, combining natural geology with religious architecture.
