        Phu Kao Phu Phan Kham National Park, spread over an area of 322 square kilometers, is located partly in the upper part of Khon Kaen Province and partly in the lower part of Udon Thani.

        The topography of the park is mountainous with the top soil made up of sandstone and the soil underneath is either hard soil or sandy hard soil. The entire area is scattered with sandy soil and laterite.

The Phu Kao Mountain Range runs in two lines in the northeast and southwest. More...

Khon Kaen Travel Guide : Phu Wiang National Park        Phu Wiang National Park, spread over 380 square kilometers, is the park where you can learn about dinosaurs. Until 1976, there was no indication that this national park was once home to dinosaurs. But then everything changed. A uranium survey team found a piece of fossil which was checked by French specialists who confirmed that the fossil was a left knee bone of a dinosaur; and ever since excavations have unearthed more and more dinosaur fossils.

        The first site of the fossil was Pratu Ti Ma, a hill. On this hill geologists found a 15 meters tall fossil of a dinosaur complete with a neck and tail. It is believed that this fossil belongs to a plant-eating dinosaur and was never found anywhere else before. The fossil was named Phuwiangosaurus Sirindhornae in honor of Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn. Even fossils of ten teeth of meat-eating dinosaur have been found at the same site. Geologists believe that the long-necked dinosaur fell prey to the meat-eating dinosaur. Even among the teeth, one was different and belonged to a never-found species. Thus, it was named Siamosaurus Suteethorni after Warawuth Suteethorn, the discoverer of the teeth. More...
