Pha Pho Mueang campsite in Chaiyaphum sits amid the seasonal Dok Krajiao (Siam tulip) fields of Sai Thong National Park during the rainy season. This campsite in Chaiyaphum draws campers wanting cool weather with morning mist and rain, and this year the field's kept white Krajiao blooms alongside the usual pink ones. Visitors who don't want to walk far can head to the Sub Mongkol service point and catch a shuttle to Thung Bua Sawan 1, or hike the Pha Ham Hod-Thung Bua Sawan nature trail, over 2 kilometers long. Fees are 40 THB park entry per person, 30 THB per car, 20 THB per motorcycle, and 30 THB per person per night for tent pitching. The shaded grounds have a welfare shop serving made-to-order food, newly built separate men's and women's restrooms, and a dishwashing area, but there's no electricity charging point and no trash disposal — campers must carry out their own garbage. Phone signal in the area is very weak.
