Khao Kho, Mountain district in Phetchabun, Thailand

The Khao Kho district spans across mountainous terrain at elevations reaching 1,143 meters, featuring dense forests and agricultural landscapes throughout its seven sub-districts.

Between 1968 and 1981, the district became a strategic battleground during conflicts between the Royal Thai Armed Forces and the Communist Party of Thailand.

The Khek Noi sub-district contains Thailand's largest Hmong community, maintaining their traditions while contributing to the region's cultural diversity.

The district connects to major cities through Thailand Route 12, providing access to natural attractions and memorial sites across its 72 villages.

Local farmers cultivate cabbage fields and tobacco plantations at high altitudes, creating a pattern of agricultural terraces across the mountain slopes.
