According to a report by Matichon Online, the Director-General of the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation recently conducted an inspection at Phu Wiang National Park in Khon Kaen province. The visit was primarily focused on coordinating preparations for an upcoming royal visit to the area.
Enhancing Paleontological Tourism
Beyond the royal visit, the inspection highlighted plans to elevate the status of the park’s dinosaur fossil discovery sites.
