Wat Khao Kho Phetcharam

Wat Khao Kho Phetcharam (วัดเขาค้อเพชราราม) is a small, working Buddhist monastery of the Thammayut order, tucked into the highland countryside of Thung Samo in Khao Kho District, Phetchabun. It sits at Ban Noen, Village No. 5, amid the rolling hills, cool air and natural pine forest that give the Khao Kho plateau its reputation as one of central Thailand's most refreshing escapes. Rather than a busy tourist sight, this is a genuine place of monastic life and local devotion—a calm temple where visitors come to make merit, see newly consecrated monastery buildings and soak up the quiet mountain setting that Khao Kho is known for.
