Phu Kradueng National Park , located in Amphoe Phu Kradueng of the Loei Province, is one of the famous national parks of Thailand, with a high point of 1360 m. Every year tens of thousands of people come to make the climb up this famous mountain. It received the title of a nationally protected forest in the year 1943, and was proclaimed a national park on the 7th of October 1959, the second national park of Thailand after Khao Yai National Park.

History

Phu (??) comes from the Thai word Phukao (?????) meaning mountain. It’s used the same way as Mt. is used in English. The name Kradueng (??????) comes from the word Krading (???????) a word of the Loei Province aboriginals. Also Phu Kradudng (????????) can be translated as Ra Kang Yai (?????????) meaning a large bell. This name comes from a legend relating to a Buddhist holiday. During the holiday many of the towns people heard the sound of a large bell. They believed it to be the bell of Indra.

The beauty of the mountain is reflected in local folk tales. One person named Phran, who fled from another village, believed that Phu Kradueng had never been climbed before. He led his bull to the top of the mountain. He found it full of beautiful deer, and pine forests. There were many different types of plants, trees and wild animals. After this he stayed, and lived his life surrounded by the beauty of the mountain.

Nowadays, Phu Kradueng is extremely popular with young Thais, particularly university students. Accommodation on the mountain itself is limited to a “tent city” with hundreds of canvas tents available for rent. The sense of isolation and scenic beauty is further spoilt by annoying and unnecessary loudspeakers intermittently announcing food availability, sleeping hours, and other concerns in Thai.

Travelling to Phu Kradueng

Autobus

The easiest route to Phu Kradueng, is to take a bus from Khon Kaen to Pha Nok Kao. Get off in front of Raan J Gim . From there a minibus is available to take you to the central office of the park. The minibus takes approximately half an hour. The park office closes at 15.00, as climbers will not have enough time to climb the mountain before dark.

Park Trails

The Main Trail to the top from Amphoe Phu Kradueng

This is a very old and historic trail. Travelers start their way on the trail in Amphoe Phu Kradueng at the main park office. There are many places to rest on the way up. These rest plateaus are called Sum (??). There are seven of these plateaus on the way up. In order of ascent, they are:

• Sum Hake (?????) The word Hake (???) most travelers believe this means to be out of breath, because of its resemblance to the sound made when out of breath. The real meaning of Hake (???) is sacred or holy object in the local dialect. This plateau is approximately one kilometre from the bottom.
• Sum Bawn (?????) This plateau is approximately 700 metres from Sum Hake.
• Sum Kok Kawk (???????) This plateau is approximately 360 metres from Sum Bawn.
• Sum Kokwaa (????????) This plateau is approximately 880 metres from Sum Kok Kawk.
• Sum Kokpai (???????) This plateau is approximately 580 metres from Sum Kokwaa
• Sum Kok Doon (???????) This plateau is approximately 300 metres from Sum Kokpai.
• Sum Krae (??????) This plateau is approximately 585 metres from Sum Kok Doon.

Full Moon Party

The Full Moon Party is an all-night beach party that takes place in Haad Rin on the island of Ko Pha Ngan, Thailand on the night before or after every full moon.

The first Full Moon Party was improvised at a wooden disco not far from the beach in 1985 for giving thanks to about 20-30 travelers.^[1] The Full Moon Party gained fame quickly through word of mouth, and the event now draws a crowd about 20,000-30,000 every full moon evening.^[1] The party carries on until the sun rises the next day. All the bars on the sunrise beach of Haad Rin town stay open and play music such as R&B, drum and bass, house, dance and reggae.

The modern event has become a part of the itinerary of many travelers to Asia. It is characterized by unruly and potentially dangerous attractions such as fire skipping ropes^[2], wildly variable alcohol strength ‘buckets’^[2], and a drug culture. It is indeed seen by many as the “ultimate party experience”, although drug laws are still strict, and police enforcement is stepped up during the parties.

The Full Moon Party is featured in films such as Last Stop for Paul and the Thai film Hormones.^[3] It was also featured in the first episode of the Comedy Central tv show Gerhard Reinke’s Wanderlust.
