Khao Nor-Khao Kaew is a free campsite in Nakhon Sawan province known for its striking limestone peaks and 360-degree sunrise sea-of-mist views. Located in Ban Daen Subdistrict, Banphot Phisai District, this limestone mountain features a distinctive sharp peak shape surrounded by greenery, making it one of the province's most scenic spots. Entry, parking, camping, and 24-hour restrooms are all free of charge, and the area has lighting along the pathways plus working mobile signal. Small vehicles can access the parking area easily, and there is a coffee shop on site along with a spacious camping ground. Campers often hike up in the early morning to catch the 360-degree view from the summit, climbing roughly 700 steps including a steep near-vertical section, a round trip taking about 1.5-2 hours; friendly monkeys are commonly seen along the trail. In the evening between 6:30-7:00 PM, thousands of bats fly out from Khao Kaew, visible from the Lan Pho area. Security staff patrol overnight and CCTV cameras monitor the site, and a community market runs on weekends near Lan Pho.

700 steps and 7 sturdy ladder to get to the top for the amazing 360 degree panorama view. Beware of the aggressive monkeys at the bottom. Park ur car at the yellow gated carpark beside the temple
Beautiful place for recreational time. Beautiful mountain view and plenty of food.
Amazing view from the top of the mountain. Highly recommend to visit this place. We were there very early morning to see the sun rise. It took about 45 minutes to climb up to the top. It’s quite challenge but, worth to try. Lots of monkeys along the way. Monkeys here quite friendly than others. From the top, the visitors can be able to see the view 360. Fresh air and wonderful view. Please keep all your belonging back with you especially the garbage and bottles of drinking water.
Great place for seeing monkeys and do an awesome hike. Hike is pretty easy taking in consideration there are stairs all the way up. Will take around 1hr to get top with epic views. Take water and go hike early in the morning, try to catch the sunrise. Park your car inside the walls by the temple if u going to hike because monkeys may damage it.
Perfect place to spend a day. Hike up the mountain with a guide. It's very steep so beware if you're afraid of heights. Monkeys are all over the place and will steal your food if not careful. But do not approach them or touch them. Ask a guide to take you behind the reclining Buddha to see the bat cave. At sunset the bats come out from the side of the mountain in millions. It's quiet spectacular!
