Phatthalung’s Banthat mountain bustles with tourists as scenic viewpoints are reopened
Tourists are flocking to revel in the natural beauty of Phatthalung’s Banthat mountain and catch a glimpse of the sea of mist from three scenic viewpoints after provincial officials reopened the range.
With Phatthalung reopening its attractions and abiding by the Public Health Ministry’s measures to keep Covid-19 from spreading, the number of tourists has suddenly jumped, especially to the Banthat mountain range that comprises the Kuan Nok Ten, Phu Rung Chaeng and Kuan Sawan Ta Kaew viewpoints from which visitors can see the sea of mist.
Most of the tourists so far hail from the three southern border provinces. Many choose to stay at accommodations and campsites near Kuan Nok Ten and Phu Rung Chaeng so they can get to the viewpoints before sunrise.
Phatthalung has not seen any new Covid-19 case for a straight 73 days, but the province is still implementing measures to guard against the dreaded virus.
