Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park — Attraction in Phitsanulok Province

I want to talk about all what is not good on Phu Hin Ronkla Nationalpark. Everywhere it is very noisy. Impossible to relax here. Most of the disturbing noise noise the people do they are working and living here. Rangers drive motorcycles with not legal exhaust systems.....they are crazy noisy and don't care the customers they are searching a place for relax. And this from morning 5 o'clock till in the night. There are not 10 minutes of silence. You always hear noisy engines and you always have the bad air of exhaust systems. Of course there are customers too they running their motors without drive their cars. There are information don't make noise and no campfires.... But nobody care... To remove only some leafs from the street they use a crazy noisy Motor-blowing machine. This can be done very easy and much better from hand. Nobody care in this Nationalpark the customers have their silence and freedom... We really like the beautiful location of this Nationalpark, but we get crazy and stressed here... The Rangers with the not legal and completely open exhaust systems on their motorcycles you can hear when they are much more than a kilometer far away.... It is crazy... Where is the boss of the nationalpark??????

Months later.... We must talk again. It is crazy here about noise and disturbing the customers they come for camping here and search silence. Although we talked to a boss here, the extremely noise is going on. Nearly all Rangers here use motorbikes with open exhaust systems. Illegal exhaust systems. The Rangers they control the forests here are not the problem for the customers....but sure a lot of problem for the animals here. But the 3 rangers, with their extremely noisy and illegal exhaust systems, they are every day at the Campgrounds make a crazy disturbing for us customers. And nobody stop them. The second problem with extremely noise is the motor leaf blower they use. It's extreme noisy!!! They use this tool much to often. Often every day. Even when only some leafs are on the street. This can be done from hand without noise. Without disturbing the customers. The customers for camping search in Nationalparks freedom and silence. We do not know another nationalpark with noise problems like here on Phu Hin Ronkla. On weekends big groups come for party's with karaoke and drinking. So other customers should not choose this area for camping. But on the whole area this groups can be heard. This is not acceptable in Nationalparks. The people of the nationpark here have no feeling about disturbing their customers. If this is going on, we never will come again.

Months later... nothing change here.....again and again we get the extremy noise here ...and everytime they work with this blowing maschines for hours.....!!!!! And this is not all..... 90% of the scooters/motorcycles and most of the cars of the customers have modyfied and very noisy exhaust systems. But all of them they let them in... It is like to live at a highway....extremely noise all the day and till the night. Even in the night they let them in.... This is a Nationalpark!!!!! Where people search silence and freedom. We talked already aot ti this poeple and even to a boss here. Nothing happen....nobody care..... This people have no feeling, no behaviour.... We never saw like this in other countries....is the amazing Thailand?????.......sure not!!!

A month later... There is no end to see about all this extremely noisy problems. Nothing happen....no one care about. If we try to speak with the people of the park they hate us. When we ask to speak with the boss of the nationalpark we get no answer. What happen here....only because our home is in this area we come again. And hope for a change..... But there is no hope it seems....we contacted the nationalpark main office in Bangkok...but no answers we get. So every guest, he feels disturbed should talk to the rangers and people here. And ask where is the boss here to talk... If a lot of guests try this, we have a hope to get the old and silent Phu Hin Ronkla Nationalpark...

WARNING! Travellers trying to get to Phu Thap Buek, and their GPS takes them on the road route through Phu Hin Rong Kla (which is the quickest route), you will be forced to pay 200bht + 20bht for your motorbike regardless if you DO NOT intend to visit the Natural Park. My partner and I were trying to beat the sundown and came across the Parks entrance at 18hrs. They wanted to charge us 420bht to use the parks road. We explained that we didn't want to explore the park, just to travel through, and they refused us with no willing to understand. (A real "computer says no" moment) By the way, if we were locals, 60bht total.

I really don't see how this is justified and leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Thailand is struggling with tourism because tourists find neighbouring countries to be cheaper and equally beautiful, and after this kind of experience, I don't think they are doing themselves any favours. Another example was being charged 10 times the local fee to enter a historic park with no extra benefits. Not double or triple or even quadruple..... 10 Times the local fee. Now, does this make me want to stay in Thailand and spend my money here or go to a country that respects foreigners more? I don't know,...

I visited Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park, and this place is a mix of stunning landscapes, deep history, and a bit of an adventure. 🏞️🌿 The views? Absolutely breathtaking—rolling mountains, unique rock formations, and misty forests that make you feel like you’ve stepped into another world. If you’re into hiking, there are plenty of scenic trails, and the cool mountain air makes the walk even better.

What makes this park different is its historical significance. It was once a stronghold for communist insurgents, and you can still see old bunkers and command centers hidden in the forest. 🏕️🪖 It’s like walking through a living museum while surrounded by nature. The best time to visit is during the cooler months when the mist adds to the atmosphere. If you love a mix of nature, history, and adventure, Phu Hin Rong Kla is definitely...
