Topography
View from the mountain of the sunrise over the surrounding valley

Phu Kradueng mountain, made up of Jurassic and Cretaceous sandstone formations, takes the form of a mesa towering some 1000 meters above the surrounding valleys. The summit plateau is roughly square-shaped and 60 km² in size, with an average elevation of about 1250 meters. Sloping slightly to the north, its western, southern and eastern edges are fairly straight and formed by abrupt sandstone cliffs, while the northern part is dissected into a more irregular shape, containing a number of streams and (seasonal) waterfalls. The summit itself, located in the southwestern part of the plateau, is inconspicuous.
Vegetation

The mountain's steep sides are home to a succession of tropical forest tiers, namely (in ascending order): Deciduous Dipterocarp, Mixed Deciduous, Dry Evergreen, and Hill Evergreen Forests, interspersed with bamboo. In contrast to that, the plateau at the mountain top consists of a sandy pine savanna landscape.
History

Phu (ภู) comes from the Thai word Phukao (ภูเขา), meaning mountain. The name Kradueng (กระดึง), or Krading (กระดิ่ง) in the local dialect of Loei Province, can be translated as Rakhang Yai (ระฆังใหญ่), meaning a large bell. This name comes from a legend relating to a Buddhist holiday. During the holiday many of the towns people heard the sound of a large bell. They believed it to be the bell of Indra.

The beauty of the mountain is reflected in local folk tales. One person named Phran, who fled from another village, believed that Phu Kradueng had never been climbed before. He led his bull to the top of the mountain. He found it full of beautiful deer, and pine forests. There were many different types of plants, trees and wild animals. After this he stayed, and lived his life surrounded by the beauty of the mountain.

Nowadays, Phu Kradueng is extremely popular with young Thais, particularly university students. Accommodation on the mountain itself is limited to a "tent city" with hundreds of canvas tents available for rent. The sense of isolation and scenic beauty is further spoilt by annoying and unnecessary loudspeakers intermittently announcing food availability, sleeping hours, and other concerns in Thai.
Travelling to Phu Kradueng
Autobus

The easiest route to Phu Kradueng is to take a bus from Khon Kaen to Pha Nok Kao. Get off in front of Ran Je Gim (ร้านเจ๊กิม). From there a minibus is available to take you to the central office of the park. The minibus takes approximately half an hour. The park office closes at 15:00, as climbers will not have enough time to climb the mountain before dark.
Park Trails
The Main Trail to the top from Amphoe Phu Kradueng

This is a very old and historic trail about 5.5 km in length, climbing the southeastern flank of the mountain. It starts from the main park office in Amphoe Phu Kradueng, at an elevation of about 300 m. There are many places to rest on the way up. These rest plateaus are called Sam (ซำ). At each there are several vendors selling food and drinks, and some provide toilet facilities and/or medical services as well. There are eight of these on the way up. In order of ascent, they are:

Sam Haek (ซำแฮก) - This rest area is located approximately 1000 metres from the starting point, on an intermediate plateau immediately above a very steep section of the trail. Most Thai visitors believe the word haek (แฮก) means "to be out of breath", "to pant", because of its resemblance to the sound made when out of breath. However, the real meaning is sacred or holy object in the local dialect.
Sam Bon (ซำบอน) - This rest area is approximately 700 metres from Sam Haek.
Sam Kok Kork (ซำกกกอก) - This rest area is approximately 440 metres from Sam Bon.

Sam Kok Don (ซำกกโดน) - This rest area is approximately 300 metres from Sam Kok Phai.
Sam Khrae (ซำแคร่) - This rest area is approximately 450 metres from Sam Kok Don.
