Wat Phu Long Khum

The area is access sensitive!

1) Special rules at this crag
All of the currently developed boulders are within close proximity to a local temple. The temple is obviously rich and ever expanding, and last year (2022) several buildings have been put up right between the boulders. Monks are keen to turn the area with the boulders into a kind of garden or park by planting flowers and covering the ground in concrete. There's no way to say how the area will develop over the next couple of years - perhaps the boom will make it completely unclimbable, or maybe the abbot will lose interest in the area and it will be forgotten.
Being on temple grounds, the area is access sensitive! Don't come in groups, don't make noise, wear a t-shirt when climbing and most of all, be friendly to the resident monks! They can restrict climbing at any time they please, and the only way to avoid that is to not bother them and leave the area (better) than you found it. That being said, the monks were always welcoming when we climbed here. If you climb here, they will most likely come and watch from a distance.

2) How to drive to the crag and parking instructions
From Amnat Charoen (south) or Mukdahan (north), drive towards Nikhom Kham Soi. The road heading to Phu Lom Khum (road no 3022) heads west about 3 km south of Nikhom. Follow this road for 9 km until you see the mountain on your left. Drive up the mountain following either the older road / keeping left until you see the boulders right in front of you.

3) How to reach the sectors on foot
Park in front of the boulders and walk the long, arduous approach of 20 meters.
