The Alongkon Chedi was built in 1876 CE by King Chulalongkorn (Rama V, b. 1853 - 1910) in memory of his and Queen Sunantha Kumarirat's visit to the Phlio Waterfall in 1874. Namtok Phlio National Park was designated a national park in 1975 and originally called Khao Sa Bap National Park. It covers an area of 135-sq km (52-sq miles) and contains some of Thailand's lushest rainforest. Wildlife within the park includes 32 species of mammals and 156 species of birds. Barking deer, tiger, leopard and Asiatic black bear are among its larger inhabitants.
