Pha Taem National Park (Thai:อุทยานแห่งชาติผาแต้ม) is a national park on the Mekong River in Ubon Ratchathani Province, northeast Thailand.[1] Phou Xieng Thong National Protected Area in Laos is on the opposite side of the river.
It is notable for its Dipterocarp forest cover and for extensive rock art on cliffs above the Mekong. The art is estimated to be 3,000 years old. The park also has several examples of mushroom rocks[2] as well as the largest flower field in Thailand.[3]
Pha Taem National Park is a popular destination for the first sunshine of the New Year to fall on Thailand.[4][5]
Pha Taem National Park was declared a national park on 31 December 1991, with an area of 212,500 rai ~ 340 square kilometres (130 sq mi).[6]
