Khao Wong Phrachan Temple, you get a beautiful view and good health.

Wat Khao Wong Phrachan is the highest mountain in Lopburi.

The way up is a 3,790 steps that is easy to travel, not difficult like walking up other hills because it's made of cement and has anti-slip handrails along the way. It is also believed that if anyone comes to worship the Buddha image on the top of the Wong Phrachan mountain, they will experience happiness and fulfillment.

Getting to Khao Wong Phrachan
I recommend renting a car and following the map is the most convenient way.

This is my travel plan.
Day 1

I reached Khao Wong Phrachan at about 4 PM. It took me 1 hour to reach the top and about 40 minutes to come down from the top. When I arrived at the ground at 7:30 PM, it was already dark. The journey up to the top of Khao Wong Phrachan was quite tiring. You should wear warm clothes, prepare water and wear suitable shoes for a long trip.

The picture above shows how far I had to walk.

If you are in poor health or don't want to walk up high mountains, you can walk to see the large Buddha image which is shorter distance.


You follow the white walking path pictured above to reach the Buddha image. For me, I choose to travel to the top of the mountain.

There were some monkeys along the way.

There are anti-slip handrails along the way.


This is the beginning of the journey up the mountain.

My wife likes hiking and climbing.



There are rest stops and distance signs along the route.



The whole path is not very steep.



After walking up, looking down will see a beautiful view.

You won't be lonely with friends along the way. If you love dogs, please bring some dog food with you as some dogs look hungry.



The rest area is a drink shop, but this shop is closed.

If you notice You will see the end of the path is the entrance gate.


After passing through the gate, I continued to the viewpoint.



Unfortunately, it was about to rain so I couldn't take pictures of the beautiful scenery here.

I returned from the viewpoint.

At the top of the mountain there is a drink shop.





These are sacred things that many people come to pray for.

It's raining now and I still can't walk down the hill.

There is a small cave with sacred things.




The view here is very beautiful even when the sky is closed.




My camera battery ran out and I took pictures with my iPhone 6 camera.



On the way down, it was getting dark but there were lights all along the way.



There are tourists traveling in the evening as well.

Travel about 40 minutes to the bottom.

In a pic above, you can see the lights shining all the way.

Wat Khao Wong Phra Chan has an annual festival to walk to the top of Wat Khao Wong Phra Chan 24 hours a day. There will be more tourists and more shops than usual. The date of the festival is announced by the temple each year.


During this festival, the night walk to the top of the mountain is very popular because it is beautiful and the weather is not hot.
