Khao Kho in Phetchabun has become a top destination for tourists during the New Year holiday season, attracting large numbers of visitors for overnight stays and countdown celebrations. Key attractions such as the Khao Kho Viewpoint, Windmill Fields, and the iconic Wat Pha Sorn Kaew are experiencing high foot traffic. Wat Pha Sorn Kaew, renowned for its breathtaking mountain views, five-white-Buddha statue, and colorful mosaic-adorned pagoda, remains a favorite spot for sightseeing and spiritual activities.
The influx of tourists has led to traffic congestion, particularly during early mornings, as cars converge on these popular sites. Local authorities, including police and transportation officials, are coordinating efforts to ensure safety and manage traffic effectively. Public transport services are also being closely monitored to accommodate the rising number of passengers during this festive period.
