อุทยานประวัติศาสตร์ภูพระบาท. Between Udon Thani & Non Khai in North-East Thailand the landscape rises to form the forest covered Phu Phan Mountains. In 1991, the Thailand Fine Arts Department established this as a park, known as the Phu Phra Bat Historical Park. Here, massive boulders, precariously balanced rocks and escarpments form a backdrop for prehistoric art and Buddhist shrines. The rocks are believed to have come about as a result of glacial action over 15 million years ago. The mountain ridge to the north offers fine view over Isaan towards the "blue "mountains" of Laos. I have come here, in the main, to see the rock paintings. Two fine examples still exist in sheltered overhangs that have protected the art from the ravages of time and the elements. One is of oxen, the other containing human figures, both believed to be around 6000 years old.........
