The rock formations provide habitat for reptiles. Deer and wild boars can be found in the surrounding forests. This protected area is part of Thailand's rich wildlife and flora, with rainforests, mangroves and coral reefs.

📋 Practical info

📅
Best season
The optimal time to observe wildlife within this historical park is typically during the cooler dry season from November to February, when the less dense undergrowth significantly improves visibility.
🌅
Best time of day
Early morning hours and late afternoon dusk are highly recommended, as these cooler periods are when the diverse bird species and small mammals are most actively foraging for food in the surrounding forest.
📜
Etiquette
Maintain a quiet demeanor to avoid startling the animals, stick strictly to the designated walking paths, and absolutely refrain from feeding any wildlife to preserve their natural foraging behaviors.
🎒
What to bring
Sturdy, closed-toe walking shoes are crucial for navigating the uneven and rocky terrain, while a good pair of binoculars is highly recommended for spotting colorful birds high up in the tree canopy.
🧭
Getting there
Reaching the park is usually most convenient by renting a private vehicle or booking a guided tour from Udon Thani, as public transportation options directly to the historical site can be quite limited.
🦌
What to expect
Do not expect large game viewing; this experience is about subtle discoveries, so walk slowly, listen closely to the rustling leaves, and appreciate the small creatures that inhabit the ancient ruins.
