Phu Hin Rong Kla is a distinctive national park with a unique mixture of scenic attractions and historical sites. It was once the stage of armed conflicts between two extreme political ideologies. The Park covers a total area of 191,875 rai of land (76,750 acres) and is approximately 130 kilometers from Phitsanulok city.

The highest point of the park is 1,617 meters above sea level there have many place to Vacation and take a photo. Here, rock formations are naturally formed into different shapes beyond your wildest imagination. Some rocky grounds have deep splits they call "Lan Hin Taek", while others have uneven formations.

There is also a trail leading to Lan Hin Pum, an area of jutting rocks that the CPT used as an air-raid shelter. From the spot, it is possible to see the remains of the CPT headquarters with a small museum displaying some CPT weapons and medical instruments.
Follow another trail to Pha Chu Thong, the cliff where a red flag was raise when the CPT gained a victory.
Because Phu Hin Rong Kla was the strategic headquarters of the Communist Party of Thailand (CPT) during 1967 to 1982, the area was declared as a red area by the Thai government.
For nearly two decades, the site had become a strategic battlefield between the Royal Thai Army and the CPT. Phu Hin Rong Kla was the perfect location for the CPT to fight the military.
Its remote, closed mountainous area was superb for an elusive defense.
It was not until 1982 that the conflict was overcome when the government granted amnesty to all the students who had joined the CPT. In 1984, Phu Hin Rong Kla was declared a National Park.
