Mysterious Dinosaur Tracks Discovered in Udon Thani
Four suspected dinosaur footprints have been found near Tat Noi Waterfall in Udon Thani, prompting an official investigation by paleontological experts.
Visitors and officials have identified four mysterious footprints near the Tat Noi Waterfall, located within the Phu Hin Chong Tha-Phu Phra Bat National Park (currently in preparation) in Udon Thani province. The discovery has generated significant interest due to the clear preservation of the marks.
According to reports from Khaosod Online, each footprint measures approximately 32 centimeters in length, with a stride length of 80 centimeters. These dimensions suggest they may have been left by a medium-sized dinosaur, though the specific species remains unknown.
In response to the find, the Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, Suchart, ordered a joint team from the Department of National Parks and the Department of Mineral Resources to conduct a formal assessment. A team of paleontological experts was scheduled to arrive at the site on October 20, 2026, to perform a comprehensive analysis and verify the origin of the tracks.
For travelers and residents, this site offers a potential glimpse into Thailand’s prehistoric past. While the area is currently being developed as a national park, visitors should await official confirmation from the expert team before drawing conclusions about the site's significance. Further updates regarding the species identification and the site's future accessibility are expected following the expert evaluation.
