Dinosaur's Footprints at Phufak Park

Northeast ThailandPhufak Park in Naaku Sub-districts of Kalasin province is a scene of rolling hills. Its teng-rung forest is dominated by trees of varying species including ma khaa mong, Siamese Sal, ingyin and Burmese ebony. Where mammals are concerned, squirrels, Indochinese ground squirrels, palm civets and hare are the animals most common in its wild.

The local people used to socialize and relax there. About 12-years ago its appeal swelled with an increasing number of tourists when two girls accompanied by their parents had a picnic in the forest on a public holiday.

Follow the Traces of Dinosaurs in Thailand

Northeast ThailandEvery one here speaks of Dinosaurs. For millions of years, the peaceful earth of Sahatsakhan district of Kalasin province has been the final resting place for the large dinosaurs that used to roam in this area. In 1995, fossilized dinosaurs of the Sauropod species (plant-eating dinosaurs) were uncovered at Phu Kum Khao in Sahatsakhan district.

An investigation shows that the fossils found in this area are of the same species as Phuwianggosaurus Sirindhornae, discovered in Phu Wiang district of Khon Kaen province. The name was bestowed in honor of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn.

Fossilized dinosaur skeletons here are considered the most complete ones ever to have been unearthed in Asia. From this discovery, a dinosaur museum, the largest in Thailand, was established in Kalasin.

Northeast ThailandWhen Wat Ban Rai in Dan Khun Thot district of Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat) is mentioned, most Thai people know that is is the residence of the Venerable Luang Pho Khun Parisuttho, one of the most revered Buddhist monks in Thailand.
