Khao Kradong Forest Park


It is now a relaxation spot which was once an ancient volcano. The evidence of the volcano’s existence can still be seen until today. The crater is now a deep basin with water all year round. The top is 265 metres above sea level and it houses ‘Phra Suphattharabophit’ a large Buddha image that is the symbol of Buri Ram. There is also an ancient Prang Ku in which is located a duplicate Buddha footprint. The forest park has a lot of interesting indigenous plants. Getting to Khao Kradong can be done in two ways: on foot or drive up to the mountaintop. On the way, one can see Buddha images in different postures along the route.
To get there, take Highway No. 219 on the Buri Ram – Prakhon Chai route for about 6 km
