Mountain Trip to Khao Kho
On October 23rd, Thailand celebrated Piyamaharaj Day. The weekend before the 23rd, one of the deacons at Soi 4, who works for the Thai telephone company TOT, invited us to spend a couple of days with his family at the campground his company owns on top of Khao Kho. This mountain is located in the Petchabun Mountain range, and is located roughly 350 km (217 miles) north of Bangkok. This was the first time we’ve had the chance to get out of the busy city since setting foot on Thai soil, so the change of scenery was much appreciated.
The mountainside campsite had a nice view over the valley below, and the lake at the bottom was shaped like equestrian horse jumping an obstacle. We really didn’t do much while we were up there. We did visit is an old military installation on top of the mountain that was used during the Royal Thai Army’s war against the Communist Party of Thailand from the 1960s through the mid-80s. It was an artillery outpost on the very top of the mountain.
I’ve posted a new photo album, if you’d like to see more pictures.
