Khao Laem Park Opens Sannok Wua Trail for Sunrise Views
Khao Laem National Park in Kanchanaburi has opened the Sannok Wua trail, the province’s highest peak at 1,767 meters, offering sunrise mist views and 360-degree forest panoramas. The park promotes sustainable tourism by limiting daily visitors, requiring advance booking, and providing guides to ensure safety and conservation. The nine‑kilometer route supports environmental education and generates income for local communities through guide and porter employment.
Located in Sangkhlaburi District, the trail spans about nine kilometers through pristine montane forest, allowing hikers to learn about local ecosystems, flora, and wildlife signs. The summit features a viewpoint resembling a cow's hump, offering panoramic vistas of the Vajiralongkorn Dam reservoir and surrounding mountain ranges. Park officials have deployed rangers and local staff to ensure safety and provide assistance, and they urge visitors to follow park regulations to preserve natural resources. The initiative aims to distribute income to nearby communities through guide and porter jobs while monitoring environmental impacts to balance tourism with conservation. Interested parties can obtain further information and make reservations via the park’s Facebook page or office.
