Phu Kradueng National Park
After a period of great geological change in what is now the highland area of northeastern Thailand,a mountain arose with a Relatively flat and large area as its summit. This undulating plateau is full of cliffs,savfannas,pine forests,streams,waterfalls,flora,and fauna,that one might be led to think that a "paradise lost" still exists
Phu Kradueng National ParkA legend of tingling sound of bells (Kradueng in Thai means bell) gliding down from the mountaintop was heard before anyone had ever climbed it.

Hence,the mountain came to be called"Phu Kradueng" One day a hunter from the village of Si Than followed the gaur's trails up the mountain and was amazed to find that the mountaintop turned into a plateau stretching as far as the eye could see, with rows of pine trees growing in a strangely orderly manner and the herds of wildlife freely roaming around for food.

It rises to a hight of approximately 1,200 metres above sea level.The mountain was formed as a result of geological forces slowly acting beneath the Earth's crust. Layers of sediments of sand,clay,and rock piled up for millions of years. Then,great earth movements,e.g.,the arching and curving of the Earth's surface about 230 million years ago brought the sedimentary rock to the surface,about 230 million years ago brought the sedimentary rock to the surface,and in the process layers of softer sandstone eroded 
away,especially at the top of the mountain ,thus leaving only layers of sandstone and more solid rock.

Phu Phan Formation underlines the structure of Phu Kradueng from an elevation of above 990 metres. The thickness of the rock layer is about metter consisting of light orange-white sandstone,red siltstone and small igneous rock interspersed with shale
