🚗 Getting There
From downtown Hat Yai, it takes just a few dozen minutes of driving up Khao Kho Hong to feel completely disconnected from the hustle and bustle. The road includes both paved sections and some narrow stretches, so drive carefully. However, it's not overly challenging, and sedans can make the trip.
🌲 Overall Atmosphere
Once you arrive, you'll immediately feel the tranquility. Surrounded by forest and mountain views, the air is slightly cooler than in the city. You can clearly hear the sounds of birds and the wind. If you visit in the evening, the lighting is stunning and perfect for photography.
🏕️ Accommodation & Camping
• There are both resort zones and camping zones.
• The camping zone offers a truly natural vibe. At night, the air is cool and refreshing, and you can enjoy the sounds of the forest. If you're lucky, you might even see stars.
• Bathrooms are available but are more functional than luxurious, focusing on practicality.
🏍️ Activities
• The highlight is the ATV rides, which are incredibly thrilling. You'll drive through dirt and mud, giving you a real sense of adventure.
• There's also a pond where you can soak and cool off amidst the forest, making you feel like you're hidden in nature.
🍲 Food
Simple meals are available (home-style cooking), but for maximum convenience, especially if you're coming in a group, it's best to bring your own food. This way, you can enjoy a barbecue or grill session at night.
📸 Photo Spots
• A high-angle view of Hat Yai city, which is stunning.
• The camping area with a nighttime campfire gives off a chill vibe.
• The ATV trails surrounded by lush greenery also make for cool photos.
✅ What We Loved
• It's close to the city and easy to get to, yet the atmosphere feels like a completely different world.
• You get both tranquility and excitement (relaxing camping + adventurous ATV rides).
• Beautiful views, perfect for photography enthusiasts.
⚠️ Things to Prepare
• If it rains, the road can get muddy and slippery, so wear sturdy shoes.
• Bring some of your own food and drinking water.
• Mosquito repellent, a flashlight, and a power bank are essential.
