Phu Khao Fai Kradong Forest Park, Forest park in Samet district, Thailand
Phu Khao Fai Kradong Forest Park is a wooded area with dense plant life surrounding an ancient volcanic crater formation. Walking trails and a scenic road wind through the forest, connecting different parts of this geological site.
This forest area was officially designated as a protected park in 1978. The volcanic crater at its center formed through ancient geological activity and has been shaped by natural processes over millennia.
A large Buddha statue at the summit serves as a spiritual focal point where visitors can observe local devotional practices. The site reflects the religious importance this location holds for people in the region.
You can reach the top either by climbing stairs or by walking along a road with statues placed throughout. Wear comfortable shoes since both routes have different ground conditions and the terrain is gently sloped.
The crater area contains special rocks that show unusual behavior when placed in water. Many visitors find these natural objects to be an unexpected discovery while exploring the site.
