It is called "western forest complex" because its boundaries extend through 5 provinces--Tak, Kampaengpet, Uthaitani, Supanburi and Kanchanaburi — and collectively protect 11. 7 million Rais (approximately 4. 4 million Acres) of forest. This is the largest and most important forest tract remaining in South East Asia with an intact ecology and a watershed that provides drinking water to thousands of Thai people.

Swidden (slash-and-burn) agriculture of hill-tribe people, irresponsible mining practices, and wildlife hunting threaten the ecology of the forest directly and indirectly.
