Phu Lom Lo, one of the Sakura destinations worth visiting listed in 13 Sakura spots in Thailand, is boasting cherry blossoms in full bloom this month of January. You can explore the inviting trails that lead to the summit of the mountain, offering a delightful opportunity to capture the breathtaking panorama of scattered Sakura blossoms throughout the area.

To get here, you can drive straight from Bangkok in seven hours, take buses from Bangkok, or ride a train from Bangkok to Phetchabun, which takes about six hours, and continue with a taxi to Phu Lom Lo. Anyway, we think driving can be the most convenient way if you can get a car.
To prevent any accidents, the national park doesn’t allow visitors to drive to Phu Lom Lo themselves; they provide Tourist Shuttle Service Points where you can get a ride from the officials to the destination at ฿1,000 (~USD28.07) per car. One car can accommodate up to 10 people.
In Phitsanulok and Phetchabun, you can get a ride at the Tourist Information Center and Ban Rong Kla (บ้านร่องกล้า).
In Loei, find available rides at Kak Saton Community (ชมรมส่งเสริมการท่องเที่ยวโดยชุมชนกกสะทอน) and Tub Kho Village (ชมรมม้งอีสานนำเที่ยว บ้านตูบค้อ).
