Description: |

Phu Pha Yon in Ban Na Phang village, Khok Pla Sio subdistrict,
Mueang district is 38 kilometers away from the downtown area of
Sakon Nakhon. Located within the compound of a monastery, Phu
Pha Yon features rock engravings about the lifestyle of Thai
community in prehistoric period. The 3,000-year-old petroglyphs
were created by using solid tools to incise or carve part of a
rock surface to form the shapes of men, animals, people and farm
cattle, geometric shapes, palms, crop fields, etc.
Visitors can reach there from Tao Ngoi district via the Tao Ngoi
– Si Wicha route for 5 kilometers. Then use Highway 2339 to
enter Ban Muang – Na Ang. Continue onto Ban Phon Bok – Phon
Phang and Ban Na Phang respectively for 35 kilometers. Just
before arriving at Phu Pha Yon, there is an asphalt road
stretching to the rock cliff and a flight of stairs containing
238 steps. A number of viewpoints which are made from piles of
stone dot along the way. Some look like small sheds, while
others look like benches. |
