Thung Salaeng Luang

Situated just about 55 km from Phetchabun city center, Thung Salaeng Luang National Park covers 1,262 km² in Phetchabun and Phitsanulok Provinces of Thailand.

The park is one of the few in the country with big green savannas spread all over the park. The camping area at the main visitor center area in Nong Mae Na has a nice view over a savanna, in the early morning covered in mist from around October to February.

There are two accessible waterfalls, Sri Dit Waterfall which is not too far from the visitor center on one of the main roads into the park, the other one Kaeng Sopha Waterfall at the north edge of the park.

Tham Phra Wang Daeng is the longest cave in Thailand situated on the west side of the national park.

There is not much significant wildlife in the park, only common animals of the area can be found. There are though a few Siamese crocodiles still found on the west side of the park, but the population is endangered. If approved, a planned dam construction at the river will likely mean the death sentence for the remaining crocodiles.

There are around 110 species of birds reported from the park, all common birds of the area.
