Entrance to the park, it has been said, is 400 baht for foreigners, and I don't care. Thai should be able to see their own stuff and the foreigner can be asked for support. Once inside you first stop off at Sao Chaliang, an interesting structure of huge rocks atop one another. From there you can take a short walk to enjoy the view and see a deep crack in the rock. Then you can drive a few kilometers to the visitor center to take a walk along the trail to see the rock paintings. According to one guide the first two are the most interesting, meaning an 800 meter walk. You can follow the trail back to the parking, total 4,1 km, but we did not do that. There is quite some climbing and an uneven path involved. The illustrations themselves are vague but still well preserved and an amazing 3000-4000 years old. Of course there is more to see and explore in the park, it depends on how much time you want to spend. The above will take about 1,5 hours.

We were taken here by a hired driver after visiting Sam Phan Bok and Pha Taem national park, both well worth visiting. Lovely temple using a natural cave instead of buildings. Very atmospheric. Must be fabulous when the waterfall is running.

What you are looking at is actually the river bed of Mae Khong river, which fills in the month September. When the river withdraws the rock structures (Sam Phan bok = 3000 holes) become visible that have been formed already 110.000.000 years ago. It is a fascinating landscape and of course people see all sorts of significance in the shapes, meaning a Mickey Mouse hole, a heart, the number 800, the Grand Canyon etc. See what you want to see and enjoy he unusual shapes. There is no entrance fee. Although it is walkable I would recommend taking a pick-up (200 baht for the whole car) and we were joined by a sweet 7-year old (!) guide who gave a very good explanation, albeit only in Thai. You can tip whatever you like, we gave 100 baht which was probably over-generous, but it is lovely to see this young enterprise.

Great zoo. Can drive through in big open bus or hire small golf carts. Can get up close to deer.No elephants !!! There is a show put on there which is great. Toucans fly overhead from one trainer to the next.Spectacular.Variety of other animals do tricks. Worth having a look at if in Ubon. Out of town but taxi very cheap
