An ex-communist stronghold

The mountains of Phetchabun once provided refuge to the communist insurgents. There are strategic mountain tops they controlled and heavily fortified against offensive of government forces.

It is now a public park that reminds of past activities.
















Sand bags fortified bunkers surrounds the hill top
















With trenches dug in to cover troop movements & ammunitions delivery.
































A memorial to honors the troops who lost their lives here.










































Clear commanding view of the regions around underscored its strategic value.
































But the views are breathtaking...I won't be bored if stationed here!
