Phufak 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.

Every 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.
When 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. Some people believe that it will give good luck, for them if they 'knock' their heads Luang Pho Khun as a form of offering.
