Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park

The southern part of Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park is within a day drive from Phetchabun, so it is irresistible to take a quick tour there... it turned out to be an excellent trip with hiking walks to several scenic lookouts.

This area was another communist stronghold before finally subdued by government forces. A link provides more background to its past:

Top of the world feeling at Lan Hin Pum..





These stone formations formed at the edge of a cliff face.











Seen photo of this place before, here in person finally!
















Wild flowers dotting the countryside.





















These trees are equip with thorns that prevent animals climbing up!





















"Army of ONE" on this jeep caught my attention at the Park's visitor center.. guess what? A message from GOD!
















Stopping by a temple cave en route to our next destination of Chaiyaphum.





















Not sure what caught CK's attention here?






















Naga, the multi-head serpent has always been depicted as the protector of Buddha.





















A cockerel riding on its back!





















A stop over at the scenic spot of Thabet... spectacular view looking down the winding road ahead. Enjoyed a hot coffee here with its cool climate... such a pleasure!








Only regret is not to spend more time here. Will surely come back again!
