The Petrified Wood Forest located in Amphoe Ban Tak (Ban Tak City), Thailand contains the largest petrified wood specimen in Asia and second largest in the world. It is 20 metres in length and 2 metres in diameter.

 

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.

 

Entrance is free.

About Laura Dal Farra

After a six month adventure training Muay Thai in Thailand in 2007, Laura Dal Farra returned to her native Canada, sold most of what she owned, and boarded a plane set for Bangkok alone. She spent the next 3.5 years training in traditional Muay Thai gyms, pushing her limits, and embracing the unknown. Realizing little was being written on the subject, she began to blog about it. Laura Dal Farra is the founder of Milk.Blitz.Street.Bomb.

    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.
