A mysterious green light appeared over Khao Phanoen Thung in Kaeng Krachan National Park on the first night of the tourist season reopening, with no explanation
A mysterious green light appeared above Khao Phanoen Thung, a key natural attraction in Phetchaburi province, within the Kaeng Krachan World Heritage forest, after the area reopened for camping. On November 2, 2026, media reported that on the previous night, Kaeng Krachan National Park staff recorded images of a green light in the evening sky at the Khao Phanoen Thung viewpoint in Kaeng Krachan district, Phetchaburi, amid the natural atmosphere of the Kaeng Krachan World Heritage forest. The event occurred on the first night of the 2026 Khao Phanoen Thung tourist season reopening, when the national park allowed visitors to return for nature viewing and tent camping starting November 1, following the annual closure from August 1 to October 31 for ecosystem recovery and rainy-season safety. There is still no confirmed explanation for the green light phenomenon. Khao Phanoen Thung is one of Phetchaburi's most important natural tourism sites, famed for its morning sea of mist, complex mountain scenery, and the richness of the World Heritage forest. The season reopening is expected to draw tourists seeking cool weather and relaxation in nature during the year-end period.
