Phu Wua Wildlife Sanctuary is situated at Ban Don Chik passing Amphoe Bung Khla for 3 kilometres then making a right turn and going for about 6 kilometres. The Sanctuary covers an area of 186.5 square kilometres or 116,562 rai in Amphoe Bung Khla, Amphoe Seka, and Amphoe Bueng Khong Long, which is almost attached to the border of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic. With an average altitude of 150-300 metres above sea level, the Sanctuary composes of deciduous dipterocarp, dry evergreen, and tropical evergreen rain forests with partial sandstone mountain ridges, stone yard, and grass field and an abundance of wild animals; such as, elephants, barking deer, bears, civet cats, pheasant, red junglefowl, monkeys, and several kinds of gibbons. However, due to the limitation of only 40 square kilometres of evergreen forest, it is difficult for large animals to breed. At Phu Wua Wildlife Sanctuary, there is one life form that can be found only in Thailand and the world, which is the “Phu Wua lizard” (Ptyctolaemus phuwuanensis). This type of lizard has a different lifestyle from other species; during the day, it stays in a cave or rock hole, and goes out for eating at night. This place would be interesting for visitors, who love trekking and nature studying. For more information, please contact the Phu Wua Wildlife Sanctuary, at Tel. 08 9862 3389.
