:: Petrified Wood Park
This Petrified Wood Park located in Tambon Suranari has a collection of over 10,000 petrified wood pieces. These wood pieces were unearthed from just beneath the surface to a depth of 8 meters.
The wood is of various sizes ranging from pebbles to rocks with a diameter of over 50 centimeters, while some pieces are more than 1 meter long. The petrified wood pieces appear in a range of colors and have been aged at between 1 and 70 million years. Provincial authorities plan to turn this area into a petrified wood park and the first museum of its kind in Asia in order to conserve these prehistoric treasures for future generations to study.
