Amphoe Si Banphot, was named after the mountains in the National Park area that is well-known among the Phatthalung people. Especially, Khao Puis believed to be a sacred mountain where the spirit of “Ta Pu”, a semi-god much revered by the local people and the general public is located. Situated in the complex BanthatRange, the Park is covered with lush evergreen forest all- yearround, so it is called the “virgin forest”. It provides two nature trails that are suitable for studying the nature, herbs, doing research on natural resources, etc.
