The Phu Sing Nature Reserve is part of the larger Bueng Kan Tropical Conservation Area, which, in addition to lush vegetation, features unique and wondrously shaped rock formations that have given the area many unusual names. The Three Whale Rock, which looks like three whales perched atop a sandstone mountain, is a striking testament to the geological richness of this area, dating back over 75 million years.

The large sandstone cliffs that give the place its name are considered the best spot in the province to admire the colors of the sunrise. Take the opportunity to enjoy the lush green landscape in the heart of the largest wildlife reserve in northeastern Thailand. Sandstone can be slippery when wet, so please take extra care.

Phu Tham Phra Waterfall is a massive, cascading waterfall hidden deep within the Pa Phu Wua Wildlife Reserve and accessible only by boat followed by a long hike. The best time to visit is during the rainy season when the waterfalls are ablaze with lush vegetation.

Wat Phu Thok, another impressive destination in Bueng Kan, sits high atop a sandstone mountain and is only accessible via a strenuous hike. The belief in the man-made wooden walkways attached to the rocks remains unbroken. A truly breathtaking experience.

The Bueng Khong Long Reservoir, located south of the town of Bueng Kan, was created on the initiative of the late King Bhumibol to provide much-needed irrigation for agriculture. Today, it is an important wildlife refuge, the site of a large bird migration in winter.
