Named because of its resemblance to a traditional
Thai food cover, Fa Chi hill is located off of Highway No. 4 in Tambon
Bang Kaeo. The hill provides an excellent vantage from which to see two
rivers, the Kra Buri and the La-un, converge. The many river islands
formed where these two rivers meet makes the scenery fascinating to
behold. Sunsets are often breathtaking. To reach Fa Chi hill, turn left
at Km. 580 onto the paved road, and continue for three kilometres. Two
kilometres further, near the bridge which crosses the La-un River,
history buffs will find the remains of a Japanese military based
complete with a warship wrecks, underground tunnels and the remains of
a railway line. Japanese soldiers used this area as a port of sending
support to Burma during the Second World War.
