Sri Thep Historical Park, Thailand's newest world heritage site

Everyone has probably heard the news for a while that Sri Thep Historical Park has become the latest world heritage site in Thailand. Nowadays, the number of tourists visiting this place has increased a lot. Let's summarize what you need to know before coming here. - Sri Thep Historical Park is in Phetchabun Province, but it's not that far. When we read the news that Sri Thep Historical Park is in Phetchabun Province, we will immediately think of Phu Thap Boek, Khao Kho and feel that it is very far. But in fact, Phetchabun is a large province and Sri Thep District is right on the Lopburi road. Driving from Bangkok is about 200 km, not more than 3 hours. - Travel within the park by tram. The park has a tram service for tourists to visit inside. The entrance fee is 20 baht (children 10 baht) and there is a parking fee of 30 baht per car. The tram service is free. The driver will be like a guide. He will tell you the story of the park briefly while driving. - The tram stops at 2 places. The first place to visit is the place where human and elephant skeletons were excavated. They were together but at different times. This place stops for about 10-15 minutes. The second place is the highlight of the park, which is Phra Prang Sri Thep and Khao Khlang Nai, which have stucco figures of dwarfs with many faces. They used these dwarf figures to make ice cream. This area is open for visits for an unlimited time. When you want to return, you can take the tram. - Inside the park, there is also a cafe. The cafe is located inside, near Phra Prang Sri Thep. The drink menu here has a glass in the shape of Sri Thep Historical Park, which is only available here. There is also ice cream with dwarf figures that almost everyone must buy to take a picture. Each bar is 50 baht. The cafe also sells various souvenirs. Come and see. - The real highlight of this place is outside. The pictures of the ancient site that we often see in the media, which used to be a mountain and then they dug it out until it became like a pyramid, are outside the park. You have to drive about 2 km. This place is called Khao Khlang Nok. It is a very large ancient site, but there are few trees. The weather is quite hot. But you have to come. If you don't come, it's like you haven't come. ** Next to the cafe, there is a history of Sri Thep Historical Park from the beginning. How was it discovered? When was it like this?
