Located about 25km north of Khong Chiam is Pha Taem National Park where brilliant cliff side views of Laos can be had. About a 500m walk from the carpark to the base of the cliffs are some prehistoric cave paintings which are over 3,000 years old. The painting were found by a professor and some students from Silpakorn University in 1981 and are believed to have been made over a very long period of time and tell the story of the people who made them. The earliest show human hands and a selection of animals whilst the newer show crops being planted and some primitive agricultural tools.
