Visit Khao Na Nai Luang Dharma Park (Khao Sok)
Presentation Khao Na Nai Luang Dharma Park
The Khao Na Nai community began settling here in 1975 when the area was under Communist Party control. When the Thai government ended its pact with the party in 1982, temples and schools were built, and among the projects was what is now known as Khao Na Nai Luang Dharmma Park . The ascent of the first 2 elements is quite easy and short, the one to the 3rd is harder but if you have the physical condition, do not miss it, it is a little before arriving at the white chedi that you will get the best view! And please, try to come and visit Khao Na Nai Luang Dharmma Park at sunrise, that's when it's the most beautiful!
Practical information about Khao Na Nai Luang Dharma Park
No admission feeWhile it is quite rare to have the sun rising exactly in line with the front door arch, the Phutawadi door has often the warm colors of the sunrise as a background. Then, you can go high to contemplate the landscape. Higher and higher, element after element. If you can easily climb elements 1 and 2, you have to go down to the parking and go at the back to climb to the 3rd element, the one whose ascent is the most physical but which also offers the most incredible view. I did not find way to get to the 4th element built in bricks but already amazed and tired by the ascension to the 3rd one, I did not insist;).
Note that there is an enclosure with deers at the parking lot level, but that's not what makes this temple interesting. Watch out for stray dogs if you come at sunrise. They weren't threatening to me as it sometimes happens in Thailand but be careful anyway.
