Geography

Phu Thok is an emblematic sandstone outcrop that is both a local landmark and the symbol of the province of Bueng Kan. It appears in somewhat stylized form in the provincial seal.[2]

Phu Thok has two peaks, Phu Thok Yai and Phu Thok Noi.[3] Wat Phu Thok, an important Buddhist temple, is in a cave near the top of the smaller peak.[4] The summit of this massive rocky hill can be reached via a wooden walkway. The top has views of the surrounding flat countryside.[5]
