How To Get There
The site is located on Mu 7, Tambon Tak Ok in the Mae Salit – Pong Daeng national forest. The entrance is at the 443 km mark on Highway No. 1 / Phahonyothin Road. The entrance is 2.5 km across from Ban Tak Hospital on the opposite lane.

I’m not sure where you are getting the info about the fossil tree in Thailand, but the one you are referring to at Bantak Petrified Wood Forest Park was measured upon excavation at 72.2 m, present day it is 69 m; that being said, it IS the longest petrified wood specimen IN THE WORLD, not the second.
I see it every day due conducting my research in the park, so I’m 100% sure of this.
Thank-you Russell. From what I remember, the information came from the park itself.
I came across the article as I’m in need of small petrified wood (color black ).. any ideas where I can get it in Thailand please??
