keestha Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Have been there, is worth going to if you are in the area. The extinct volcano rising from the flat plain, you can see very far, rice fields interspersed with houses and trees in all directions. Wondering why it seems to get that many visitors now though, nice as it is I would classify it as a second rate tourist attraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

draftvader Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Is this to support the new race track? Bet Indonesia is quaking in its boots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkapi Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 How much does it cost for a "farang" to go see this attraction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrTuner Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Double pricing in entrance fees, I suppose. Automatic pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khwaibah Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Only 1,8 km from the Thunder Castle. Extinct volcanos can wake up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prakhonchai nick Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 How much does it cost for a "farang" to go see this attraction? No Charge. I live in the area and have been many times. Steep climb up hundreds of steps, and a nice meandering walk back to base through the forest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toknarok Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I'll bet that with the increase in popularity, an entrance fee will be introduced soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
writeshack Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Worth the very occasional visit if you live nearby. Certainly not worth a special trip to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krataiboy Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Any takers for a dried-up waterfall on Koh Samui, just ten baht a head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
