Picturesque landscape
This wonderful nature's creation is in the area of Phu Sing National Park. First of all, ones have to hire 4WD pickup truck (together with a driver guide) which cost 500 baht and can hold passengers upto maximum of 10 (It should be noted that vehicles other than 4WD pickup truck are not allowed in this activity). Although it is legal to drive your own 4WD pickup truck, you are still recommended to hire a car and a driver because the path is cut through the dense forest and is very narrow so that 2 cars cannot use this path simultaneously, therefore all chauffeurs have to use walkie-talkie to communicate with others. As our car climbed up the mountain (07:45 am), we (in the back of pickup truck) felt the cool fresh air with gentle breeze. After 20 minutes of penetrating through the rainforest, we reached our first stop on a huge rock at the edge of the cliff which provides panorama view of the forest below. Then, we walked to the highlight "3 whale rocks", 3 purple huge rocks protrude from the cliff resemble 3 whales (view from above and imagine) of different sizes ( 2 bigger rocks called "father" and "mother", while the inaccessible smaller one called "baby"). This point also provides a panorama view of greenish forest below. The next stop is "elephant rock". Without using any imagination , it is undoubtedly an elephant! The driver then took us to "Phu Sing gate", 2 standing huge rocks at the edge of the cliff forming "little gorge" that looks like a big gate to the thick jungle (and fabulous view) below. After that, we drove to "Phu Sing wall", a natural vertical rock wall with beautiful pattern. Finally, our last checkpoint was a quirky place called "Sang Roi Bor", bumpy landscape contain hundred of holes at the edge of the cliff. Of course, you can see a panorama view of abundant forest at this point. Besides the stunning views, our chauffeur was very nice and provided us some interesting historical facts about this place. Around late 70's to early 80's, the forest was used to be communists' hideout (as underground organization). Some comrades passed away here and their bodies were buried somewhere in the forest. This is why the alternate name of the forest is "pink jungle" (bit lighter than "red"). This amazing place is "the must" for ones travelling to Bueng Kan. Don't miss this ! Highly recommended.

Rock whales
I arrived at 10:00 am and left at 2:00 pm. You can arrange a car in the entrance of the park for 500TB and they will drive you there. I didn't, I went by walking all the way up to the rock whales, it took me 2 hours to walk there. it's beautiful and hot. Better to go early if you are up for a walk. Water and food are available at the entrance of the park. After you enter you won't find anymore supplies. You can walk on the top of two of the rocks. Remember that most of the images that you have seen from there have been taken from a drone, so do not expect that view, still very beautiful.
