Phu Toei National Park (อุทยานแห่งชาติพุเตย) is a national park, with an area of 198,422 rai ~ 317 square kilometres (122 sq mi)
On 26 May 1991, Lauda Air Flight 004 crashed in the land that later became the park after one of the Boeing 767's thrust reversers deployed in flight.[3]
The park is visited by about 300 people monthly during the high season. The Daily Xpress of Singapore states that the park "goes down as one of Thailand's least known and least visited national parks. So much so, that most Suphan Buri folk don't even realise that their province has a national park."[4]
A dominant feature of the park is Khao Thevada ('Angel Mountain'), a 1,123-metre (3,684 ft) mountain
Television episodes
