Description: |
|
Located within the Airforce base of Prachuap Khiri Khan stands
the hill of Khao Lommuak wich is famous for being a preservation
area for the cutest monkeys of Thailand. But monkeys are not the
only point of interest of Khao Lommuak since the top of this
hill will also offer you the most majestic view on Prachuap and
its surroundings, if you’re ready for a bit of exercise…
Note that Khao Lommuak is only open for visitors during long
week-ends (Songkhran for example). If you want to know the right
dates, the best option is to call the Prachuap Tourism Office
(032 513 885 or 032 513 871 or 032 513 854). During opening days
you’ll find a tent at the foot of Khao Lommuak Hill where you
will have to register. This can be done from 6:30 to 10:30 am.
Once you’ve registrated, your adventure will begin with a
set of stairs. Climbing the stairs is quite exhausting in itself
but you should know that the hardest part of the trip will begin
near the top of the hill, where there are no more stairs and
you’ll have to use ropes to follow a very steepy rocky trail.
That said, the climb is hard but you don’t need to be an
athlete to reach the top of Khao Lommuak. If you’re not used to
this kind of sport expect between 40 minutes and one hour to the
top.
Here are a few advices if you plan to go up there :
Early in the morning is the best time if you don’t want to
sweat too much Bring water to drink along the way Don’t
wear flip flops Don’t forget your camera One last thing:
You should know that Khao Lommuak is considered sacred since
it’s the home of a spirit called Chaopho Khao Lommuak. At the
foot of the hill stands a spirit shrine called “Sarn Chaopho
Khao Lommuak” where people come to pay respect to the spirit. |
