Khao No-Khao Kaeo is a limestone mountain that
has Wat Khao Lo at its foot. A stairway leads to the cave at the peak
where a large Buddha image sits in front. When King Rama V visited
here via the Ping River, he stayed overnight on the mountain. The
province later built a monument to commemorate the occasion. There are
numerous monkeys at the foot of the mountain and you can see plenty of
bats that live in the cave flying out to feed in the evening, making a
long black line in the night sky. Khao Kaeo nearby also has a number
of bats flying out at night.
Getting There: The mountain is beside the Asian
Highway along the Nakhon Sawan-Kamphaeng Phet section in Tambon Ban
Khaen. It is around 45 kilometers from the city and about 18
kilometers from the district center.
