Stonehenge of Thailand

Dear,Thailand Unknown fan club

Today I have a story about one of the attractions. Not as well known for foreign tourists. However, I believe. If you have the opportunity to visit it. You will never forget that experience.

Stonehenge of Thailand

Mo hin kaow (original name) is a location in the Phu land kar National Park, located in the province of Chaiyaphum. Mo hin kaow a large block of white stone on a hillside meadow. Visible from a distance. It looks like Stonehenge. Of England. Mo hin kaow between 197-175 million years, it is caused by the accumulation of silt, sand and clay. The environment changes so that erections become rock after 65 million years later, the movement of tectonic forces squeeze the sides of a curving fracture and erosion in both the vertical and horizontal. It is a pillar that you see today. The shape and characteristics vary according to the imagination of people around, there are several rock groups who can walk easily.

 

protected security Center

In addition, this area is the study of plants, small animals, insects, and also a watershed. The villagers made a dam to store water for use in and around the protected security area (of ​​the Mo hin kaow) was also a tent area for foreign tourists and Thai people. You can rent a tent in the price of 100 baht / night, the tent can accommodate two people, if you use a private tent. You will pay for your tent.

A trip to Mo hin kaow from Chaiyaphum Province. Take Highway 2051 heading - Tatton about 18 kilometers, turn left before reaching the stage of Taton National Park and turn onto the road Tatton - Tha Hin Ngom about 12 kilometers, then turn left onto the road Changcharen - Sok rope. Traveling approximately 6.5 kilometers to the village, Wung kham kean then turn right. A small road for transporting crops. You have to travel about 3.5 kilometers to the rock group's first set of Mo hin kaow a total distance of approximately 40 kilometers during the rainy season, use car or truck, four wheel drive vehicles to fit this path.

stone pillars, First group

Next to the first rock group to a small area for camping. The bathrooms for travelers. From this point, a walking trail to a group of rocks and other nature spots. Beautiful as well.

I had the opportunity to go to Mo hin kaow for the first time on Dec 10, 2010 departure from Nonthaburi province at about 1 o'clock to drive to the town of Chaiyaphum about 6 o'clock in the morning, visit and dine at the market in the Town of Chaiyaphum before you continue

A morning market in the town of Chaiyaphum, quite busy. There's plenty for sale. Relatively cool morning air. I noticed many of the merchants. People are wearing thick. For warmth. I eat rice, 1 cup of soup before I asked for directions to Mo hin kaow thing for sure. But lesser-known route to Mo hin kaow I was surprised. I asked directions to Tatton National Park (the same path), many people can tell the correct conclusion, I have to drive to follow the signs to Tatton National Park, which will be able to go Mo hin kaow.

Town of Chaiyaphum

Road to Mo hin Kaow

I was driving out of town, Chaiyaphum, about 20 minutes to the entrance Taton National Park, where the crossroad on the left. The signs to Mo hin kaow I was driving on the road until the village. The village streets are dusty lot. And a street sign that "The car slowly. Because dust entering their homes "(I feel sympathetic to people in this area) drive along the road of the village. The other open space. Will begin to see land for growing crops. Then the stone pillars, which are located far away. On the left hand. This is the first pillar of the Mo hin kaow (wow) conclusion is that if Mo hin kaow you must use the car only to be easy.
The first pillar you see. The rock group is the hi-li, it is very high, it's amazing, I can’t believe that nature can create it. See from the picture, you might think that it is not very high. You have to see with your eyes. Then you'll know it's very beautiful and big.

Good luck
