In the past, local villagers who farmed near the Phu Pha forest area rarely traveled into the forest because they believed that “Pha Taem is a forbidden area. These mountains are sacred, and are mountains of death. Anyone who trespasses will likely meet with misfortune, possibly illness or even death.” The Phu Pha forest area around Pha Taem was revealed and known to the public when a group of lecturers and students from the Department of Anthropology, Silpakorn University, came to survey and discovered prehistoric paintings at Pha Taem, Ban Kum, Huai Phai Subdistrict, Khong Chiam District, Ubon Ratchathani Province.
