Phu Wua Wildlife Sanctuary covers 186 sq km in the northernmost part of North-east Thailand, near the border with Laos. It is situated in Nong Khai province, and is approximately 170km east of Nong Khai city. The Sanctuary was created in 1975, and ever since then, has protected the forests, rocks and animals of one of the most beautiful areas of Thailand. Phu Wua is an ideal destination for one and two days trekking trips into the wilderness, and visitors also have a chance to see wild elephants in their natural environment. There is limited accommodation in Phu Wua itself, but there is a Home-stay project in the nearby village of Kham Pia. Here, tourists can stay overnight with a local family and gain an insight into the lives of Thai villagers. |
