Although little more than a speck of a reserve at just 48 sq km, hilly Phu Pha Thoep National Park, also known as Mukdahan National Park, has some beautiful landscapes and is scattered with unusual mushroom-shaped rock formations. The main rock group sits immediately behind the visitor centre, and wildflowers bloom here in October and November. The park is 15km south of Mukdahan, off Rte 2034.
To do the whole walk around the park (3km or 4km) takes a few hours. For accommodation, you have a choice of camping or a three-bedroom bungalow that can sleep six.
