    Places in Phetchabun Mountains

    Khao Kho

    Khao Kho

    Khao Kho in Phetchabun Province, Thailand, is renowned for its cool temperatures and picturesque mountain landscapes, earning it the nickname "Thailand's Little Switzerland." Here you'll find lush forests and often an impressive sea of mist landscape, especially in the early morning hours. Among its most prominent attractions is Wat Phra Sorn Kaew, a temple that draws visitors with its five seated Buddha statues and colorful mosaic decorations. Also worth a visit is the Khao Kho Wind Farm, which not only serves for energy generation but also offers breathtaking panoramic views. Historically, the region was a retreat for communist rebels, a legacy still marked today by the Khao Kho Memorial. Exploring the extensive mountainous region makes a private vehicle essential. The best time to visit is from November to February, to optimally experience the cooler temperatures and the sea of mist.
