PHANOM SAWAI FOREST PARK

This natural park aims to preserve the fauna and flora of this part of the province. A wide variety of animals, particularly birds, can be seen. The main attraction of the park is Wat Phanom Silaram built in 1979. It is a sacred place and many pilgrims regularly come here to pray. Magnificent view on the surroundings but some 600 steps to climb! At the top of a hill called Khao Sawai, the only one that dominates the flat landscape of the surrounding rice fields, stands a huge white Buddha.
