Geography
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.
