Background
Phu Pha Man National Park used to be an area rich in various kinds of plants and wildlife. Currently, as a result of forest concessions, the forest floor and wildlife population are rapidly decreasing. The Royal Forest Department therefore issued an order No. 1473/2532 dated September 27, 1989, assigning Mr. Panom Pongsuwan, a forest officer, level 4, to explore further and establish the area of Dong Lan Forest, Chum Phae District, Khon Kaen Province, the are of Phu Puea Forest, Phu Kradueng District, Loei Province, and nearby forest areas to be a National Park. From the survey of the area, it was found that it is a watershed area and has many natural features, especially caves and waterfalls.
The government has issued a decree set to combine the area of Phu Pueai National Conserved Forest in Phu Kradueng District, Loei Province with the area of Dong Lan National Forest Chum Phae District Phu Pha Man Minor District Khon Kaen Province to establish as Phu Pha Man National Park in 1991. The royal decree specified the area of Dong Lan forest in the area of Na Nong Tum Sub-district, Chum Phae District and Huai Muang, Wang Sawap, Na Fai, Phu Pha Man and Phu Pha Man Sub-district, Phu Pha Man and Chum Phae District, Khon Kaen Province, and Phu Puea Forest in the area of Phu Kradueng and Si Than Sub-district, Phu Kradueng District, Loei Province, approximately 218,750 rai or 350 square kilometers, to be a National Park which was published in the Government Gazette, Volume 108, Part 215, dated December 8, 1991
