Named after the local ghosts (ผี), the zone of Phae Mueang Phi includes mushroom rocks and distinctive pillars shaped by natural erosive action.[1]
The term Phae Mueang Phi is northern expression meaning 'ghost town grove' because the terrain is otherworldly.
Protected area
editPhae Mueang Phi Forest Park is a small protected area covering the site that was established on 8 March 1981. The name "forest park" is a category, for there is no forest as such at the site except for a few scattered trees. The protected zone covers an area of 0.27 km2.[2]
