The park covers an area of 140
square kilometers, where plateaus and hills dominate
the parks landscape. There are sheer cliffs, which
resulted from earthquakes. Traveling can be made from
Khong Chiam District along Highway No. 2134, followed
by Highway No. 2112, and then turning right for another
5 kilometers.
Pha Taem and Pha Kham are located near the national park headquarters.
On the cliffs surface are numerous prehistoric cave paintings dating
back 3,000-4,000 years ago that offer insight into the way of life that
existed during the pre-historic days and reflect the ancient lifestyle
of the people who once lived in the area. These painting depict scenes
of fishing, rice farming, figures of people, animals, hands and geometric
designs. It should be noted that the most extensive site for cave paintings
in the country is that of Pha Taem.
