Piyamit Village 5 Tunnel
It is located in the area of Khao Nam Khang National Park, approximately 4 kilometers from the Park office. This historic tunnel, also known as Piyamit Village 5, was built to be the safe house for the Communist insurgents for almost 40 years before the party dispersed and became part of Thai Development Participants in 1987.
This man-made tunnel is no doubt an evidence of human struggles strongly powered by communist insurgents showing the real life inside a communist hide-out. This hide-out was dug inside Liang San Mountain, a mountain near the border of Malaysia. Tourists need to go up the 108 staircase before entering the tunnel.
This attraction has become Thailand’s longest man-made tunnel which took two years to complete. There are three separate corridors and three levels deep. The tunnel could accommodate up to 200 persons into several rooms such as conference room, sick bay, radio transmission room, kitchen, firing range and other multi-purpose rooms.
