Geography edit

Nam Nao National Park with an area of 603,750 rai ~ 966 square kilometres (373 sq mi)[7] is located in Lom Sak, Mueang Phetchabun and Nam Nao districts of Phetchabun province and Khon San district of Chaiyapum province. Most of the park consists of mountains covered with deciduous dipterocarp forest, hill evergreen forest, mixed deciduous forest, moist evergreen forest, pine forest and grasslands. High mountains in the Phetchabun Mountains include: Phu Kum Kao and Phu Pha Chit, also known as Phu Dan Eupong, the highest peak at 1,271 metres (4,170 ft) and form Isan's border with northern Thailand. The source of several rivers is in the park, which flows into the Chulabhorn reservoir.[2][8][9]
The national park is neighbouring Phu Pha Man National Park and Phu Kradueng National Park to the north, abutting Pha Phueng Wildlife Sanctuary to the southeast and Phu Khiao Wildlife Sanctuary to the south, connected by Tat Mok National Park to the south and abutting Phu Pha Daeng Wildlife Sanctuary to the west.

History edit

On 12 January 1970 the National Park Board took a decision to designate a national park. On 3 May 1972 the Revolutionary Council announced: determination of the Nam Nao forest area in Mueang Phetchabun district, Lom Sak district, Nam Nao district, Phetchabun province and Khon San district, Chaiyaphum province to be a national park.[3]
The boundaries of the national park include also the area of Pak Chong Subdistrict and Tha Ibun Subdistrict of Lom Sak District, but they are not mentioned in the publication in the Government Gazette. So a Royal Decree, which mentions the two omitted subdistricts, was published in the Royal Gazette on 26 September 1982.[10] Since 2002 this national park has been managed by Protected Areas Regional Office 11 (Phitsanulok)
