Situated at Tambon Nam Suai, 24 kilometers from the
city is a park that covers over 1,000 rai of land comprised mainly of
limestone mountains surrounding a dense jungle. The main attractions in
the Park are scenic viewpoints and caves while the main activity for
visitors is trekking and camping.
Many locals believe that caves such as Phu Pha Lom,
Laeo and Pha Bong, as well as Nam Phut or Nam Sap Well are sacred
places. In particular, the Well is believed to be the den of Naga, a
mythical serpent, with an underground water passage connecting to the
Mekong River. It is possible to camp overnight in the Park, however
advance reservations are required. For more information contact Phu Pha
Lom Park, P.O. Box 7, Loei Post Office, Loei 42000.
