The most engaging national park of the province is Khao Kho National Park. It was designated to be " Little Switzerland" from many visitors, because of beautiful scenery and cool weather like Switzerland.[4] It was once a battle field against communist insurgents conducted their struggles against the authorities. Its charming scenery and great weather allure tourists to see the mountain – top, army base turned into a museum, a Chedi containing a holy relic and enjoy trekking in the open zoo and non – hunting areas.[5]
Khao Kho is home to Wat Pha Sorn Kaew, a spectacular Buddhist temple adorned with over 5 million colorful mosaic tiles [6] and pottery items and is set in a breathtaking mountain location.
