The north of the province is covered with the forested mountains of the Sankamphaeng Range and the Dangrek Mountains. To the south are foothill plains and foothills of the Cardamom Mountains, which are mostly deforested.
Two national parks are located in the province, protecting the rain forests. Pang Sida National Park was established in 1982, Ta Phraya National Park in 1996.

Famous quotes containing the word geography:
“The California fever is not likely to take us off.... There is neither romance nor glory in digging for gold after the manner of the pictures in the geography of diamond washing in Brazil.”

“The totality of our so-called knowledge or beliefs, from the most casual matters of geography and history to the profoundest laws of atomic physics or even of pure mathematics and logic, is a man-made fabric which impinges on experience only along the edges. Or, to change the figure, total science is like a field of force whose boundary conditions are experience.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“At present cats have more purchasing power and influence than the poor of this planet. Accidents of geography and colonial history should no longer determine who gets the fish.”
—Derek Wall (b. 1965)
