You heard me right, it's really 80 baht. Believe it or not, it's the camping fee + entrance fee + transportation fee because this is a tent site by the Ubonrat Dam of Nam Phong National Park, Khon Kaen Province. The atmosphere is very good in the evening (it's a bit hot during the day 😅). We will be able to see the sunset clearly here. We almost don't have to drive to find a viewpoint anywhere. But there are viewpoints here, Hin Chang Si Viewpoint, Phalan Chat Viewpoint, Pha Sawan and Kham Phon Viewpoint. But I haven't been there yet, lol. While it's beautiful during the day, it's just as beautiful at night. You can count the stars endlessly. The sky is clear and the stars are very clear. Those who like to take pictures of stars won't be disappointed here. In addition to the good atmosphere and beautiful views, the service here is good. The staff are very friendly. There aren't many people. It's very quiet. The tent site is spacious. Camping and glamping lovers will definitely love it. I recommend buying enough things because driving in and out of the park to go to the shops is quite far.
