The village at the foot of Khao Luang and the base for an expedition
to the mountain is located some 26 kms. from the city. Follow
Route No. 4016 for 9 kms., Route No. 4015 for 9 kms. and then
turn left for another 8 kms.
Most of the area was destroyed during
1988 by floods and landslides. Lush forests, cool streams with
sandy banks, and hospitable villagers combine to make the area
an ideal setting for savouring the Thai countryside. Moreover,
surrounding areas contain orchards where villagers cultivate many
of Thailand's most delicious tropical fruits, including durian,
rambutan and mangosteen.
