Description:

Phu Faek is one of the largest forest parks in Thailand, located in the east of the country. It occupies an area of 6.5 square kilometers.

Phu Faek became a Forest Park in 1997 (national parks in Thailand must cover an area of at least 10 square kilometers).

The relief of the park is mainly hilly, mountainous - peaks reach 200-450 meters above sea level.

Live in the park deer, lemurs, martens, wolves, Indochinese gophers, wolves, as well as a large number of various birds.

However, the park is known for its dinosaur footprints, and is often referred to as "Jurassic Park". The footprints were first discovered in the mountains in 1996, when a family who went to the park for a picnic noticed strange prints. Subsequently, geologists confirmed that the footprints belong to dinosaurs that became extinct 140 million years ago.
