There are 3 forest types within Phu Phan. Dry Dipterocarp is the most common covering 42% of the park. Dry everygreen is the second most common and is found mostly in the southern part of the park. Mixed Deciduous is a transitional forest type found between the Dry dipterocarp uplands and the Dry everygreen areas located next to water. The park was established to preserve the forest in this area.
