is to hike up to the summit and conquer the distance of 1,325 meters
above sea level. At the top of Phu Kradueng is a wide plain of about
60 square kilometers. There is a cold-climate pine forest and a grass
field full of wild flowers and orchids that bloom in different seasons.

Suan Hin Pha Ngam Park
This Park has limestone mountains that have eroded over time to
form an interesting shape, similar to that in Kunming in China.
A path, which winds through the rocks, takes visitors to the lovely
Suan Hom and Phiang Din Waterfalls. The park is south of town on
Highway No. 201. Proceed past Wang Saphung to Nong Hin then take
another road for 20 kilometers.
Festivals
Phi Ta Khon Festival
Phi Ta Khon Festival is held at Amphoe Dan Sai in May or June. Aside
from merit-making and a sermon, there is a procession bearing Phra
Uppakhut, a rain-inducing Buddha image. Adult men and boys wear
colourful ghost masks and join in the procession. The ghost costumes
derive from a local legend. Some believe that they are from the
Buddhist saga Phra Wetsandon Chadok.More...
