The park also has several examples of mushroom rocks as well as the largest flower field in Thailand. Pha Taem National Park is a popular destination for the first sunshine of the New Year to fall on Thailand. Pha Taem National Park was declared a national park on 31 December 1991, with an area of 212,500 rai ~ 340 square kilometres (130 sq mi).
