| Description: |
Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park covers an area of 191,875 rai or
76,750 acres of land, located 130 kilometers from Phitsanulok
town center. The park has many different terrains including
waterfalls, lush forests, and plains of rocks with the highest
point in the park at 1,617 meters above sea level. There are
different types of rock formations with splits in the rocky
grounds and uneven formations. The park offers the opportunity
to explore many of its historical sites that staged the conflict
of two political parties. During 1967-1982, Phu Hin Rong Kla was
the headquarters of the Communist Party of Thailand. The area
was deemed a red zone by the government and became a battlefield
between the Royal Thai Army and the Communist Party for 15
years. Phu Hin Rong Kla was a strategic location due to its
mountainous areas which were great for defenses. The conflict
ended in 1982 when the government granted amnesty to the
students who join the Communist Party of Thailand, resulting in
Phu Hin Rong Kla becoming a national park in 1984. Visitors are
able to witness the rustic meeting hall, political school, and
the administration building. A trail leading to Lan Hin Pum
contains rock formations where Communist Party students used
them as shelter from air bombing. The nearby headquarters is now
a museum that exhibits weapons and medical instruments used by
the Communist Party members. Another trail leads to Pha Chu
Thong where the Communist Party’s red victory flag is situated.
