NAKHON RATCHASIMA: Regional tourism providers will market the site where the coal tracks of a species of reptile, Siamopodus khaoyaiensis, were found, as a new commerce interest in the state.
The Khao Yai National Park in the Pak Chong district’s Khao Yai National Park is close to the Wang Heo Waterfall.
A group of character pioneers who encountered the tracks while trekking made the discovery of the Siamopodus khaoyaiensis dragon traces in 2006, according to Natthini Thongdi, chairman of the Northeastern Research Institute of Petrified Wood and Mineral Resources at Nakhon Ratchasima Rajabhat University.
She claimed that the dinosaur footsteps provide proof that the Siamopodus khaoyaiensis dinosaur lived in that place some years ago.
Phanchana Watthanasthian, chairman of the Khao Yai Tourism Association, said the organization may promote the blog to attract more visitors to the state. According to her, the Sakaerat Unesco Biosphere Reserve, the Khao Yai World Heritage Site, and the Korat Unesco Global Geopark will be included in plans along with three Unesco World Heritage sites in Nakhon Ratchasima.
Nakhon Ratchasima is Thailand’s first state to number three Unesco history locations now that Korat Unesco Global Geopark has been made a fresh Unesco history page in May 2023. The Lam Takhong River valley, located on the Korat Plateau’s southwest top, is the focus of this geopark. The region has evergreen dipterocarp trees, covering a total region of 3, 167 square miles.
The Korat Group’s Mesozoic mountains, as well as the Maha Sarakham and Phu Thok rocks, cover the geopark. ” The tourism advertising strategy is an integral part of the country’s green hospitality policy”, said Ms Phanchana.
Last month, 1.8 million Thai citizens and around 100, 000 international tourists visited Khao Yai National Park, said Chaiya Huayhongthong, its nose. This time, visitor statistics exceeded 600, 000 by the end of the New Year trip.
