Khao Krajom is one of the highest points in the mountainous Suan Phueng region of Ratchaburi province. The summit offers a beautiful panoramic view of the mountains. However, the view isn't particularly spectacular, except at sunrise when there's an impressive sea of ​​clouds and favorable weather conditions. The viewpoint also offers a picturesque sunset view, but most visitors come for the morning sea of ​​mist. Furthermore, getting there is a real adventure – and a bumpy one at that. The drive takes 40 minutes and is impossible without a four-wheel-drive vehicle (4x4) and a very skilled driver. I personally enjoyed it a lot, even though I didn't get to experience the sea of ​​mist at the top and the sunrise wasn't exceptional.

The ride in a 4x4 from the temple parking lot at the foot of the mountain costs 1,500 THB per vehicle (up to 6 people). Alternatively, you can book a pick-up service from your resort, which will cost around 2,000 THB. Bookings are required the day before by calling 082-1979265 or through your hotel in Suan Phueng. At the summit, you can camp and enjoy both the sunrise and sunset. However, bring your own supplies, as the only shop sells instant noodles, drinks, coffee, hot chocolate, and chips. Showers and toilets are available. An overnight stay in a hotel in the Suan Phueng district is necessary to climb Khao Krajom. Most hotels are happy to arrange excursions for you.
