Thap Lan dispute goes to hearing

Pha Keb Tawan is a popular destination because it offers panoramic views of the forested area in Thap Lan National Park. A novelty which never fails to intrigue visitors to this viewpoint are slingshots loaded with seeds from native species of tree; tourists always enjoy doing their bit for reforestation efforts.
