According to Suwat Liptapanlop, Nakhon Ratchasima Rajabhat University Council President and former Deputy Prime Minister, Dino Park is part of the government’s plans to develop northeastern provinces and improve the economy.
The park is to be located in Muang District, Nakhon Ratchasima. Archaeologists have found fossils of various types of dinosaurs in the area and in parts of Chaiyapoom Province, covering over 100 rai.
