Starting in Chaiyaphum province at Mo Hin Khao, dubbed Thailand's Stonehenge, where large white stone pillars stand on hills surrounded by wide grasslands, offering a vibe similar to the countryside of England or Scotland. Moving up to Pha Hua Nak, a stunning clifftop campsite providing a 180-degree view of overlapping mountains, morning mist right outside the tent, and clear stargazing skies.

Heading over to Loei province to experience tranquility at Phu Pa Po in Nong Hin district, featuring a 360-degree viewpoint overlooking Phu Ho, a flat-topped mountain shaped remarkably like Mount Fuji in Japan. In Na Haeo district, a small town surrounded by high mountains, campers can enjoy ridge-top campsites with lush green views, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of camping in Switzerland, operated by locals and forest units for just around a hundred Baht.
For lovers of unique rock formations, Mukdahan's Phu Pha Thoep National Park is filled with mushroom-shaped and crown-shaped rocks carved by centuries of wind and water erosion, giving a rugged texture similar to Cappadocia in Turkey or the Grand Canyon in America, with a 30 Baht camping fee. Meanwhile, Bueng Kan offers a secret spot in the Phu Wua Wildlife Sanctuary with expansive rock plains surrounded by dry dipterocarp forests, giving a Jurassic Park feel complete with blooming ground wildflowers and small waterfalls during the late rainy to early winter season.
Ending in Sakon Nakhon at Phu Pha Yon National Park around the Huai Huat Reservoir, a large water body surrounded by green mountains in all directions. In the morning, the water reflects mountain silhouettes like a giant mirror with light mist floating above, feeling just like sitting by a lake in New Zealand's South Island, for a campsite fee of only 30 Baht per person.
Promoting travel to secondary provinces not only distributes income to local communities but also offers travelers a chance to escape bustling city life and connect with pristine nature at a minimal cost. Utilizing designated national park campsites also supports managed conservation efforts to keep these natural environments preserved for the future.
