An old temple and a waterfall give Bacho District two distinct travel themes: cultural history and nature. Wat Cherng Khao represents the area’s historical connection; at Pa Cho Waterfall, a botanical discovery and described wildlife observations add to the experience. Choosing a destination based on either of these themes gives your trip a clear focus.

Cultural history in Bacho District

Wat Cherng Khao is an old temple in Cherng Khao village, in Paluka Samo Subdistrict, Bacho District. It was built about 130 years ago. For travellers who want to include cultural history in their destination selection, the temple is a specific point of interest. The location leads from Cherng Khao village through Paluka Samo Subdistrict to Bacho District.

Pa Cho Waterfall: Plants and Wildlife Observation

Pa Cho Waterfall is located in Budo-Su-Ngai-Padi National Park in Bacho District. The gold-leaf plant (Yan Da-O) was first discovered there in 1988. The description names dusky leaf monkeys and orange-bellied flowerpeckers as animals that are easy to observe; this does not guarantee specific sightings. Two aspects of nature are presented side by side here: Yan Da-O connects the waterfall with a dated discovery, while the animals offer the possibility of wildlife observation. Those more interested in plants or wildlife will find different thematic highlights at the same location.

The two Bacho themes also have different time references: Wat Cherng Khao was built about 130 years ago, while Yan Da-O was discovered in 1988.

In the wider destination of Narathiwat

In the wider destination of Narathiwat, the Sirindhorn Peat Swamp Forest, also known as the To-Daeng Peat Swamp Forest, is located in Puyo, in Su-ngai Kolok District, Narathiwat Province. It is Thailand’s largest remaining peat swamp forest. Narathat Beach is five kilometres long. The Narathiwat Central Mosque is a three-storey building in the Arab style; Khao-Kong Buddhist Park is home to the golden Buddha image Thaksin Ming Mongkol. The natural attractions are described on different scales: Narathat Beach by its length of five kilometres, and the peat swamp forest by its status as Thailand’s largest remaining peat swamp forest.

These regional highlights offer different perspectives: the peat swamp forest represents a vast natural area, Narathat Beach the coast, the Central Mosque architecture, and Khao-Kong Buddhist Park a golden Buddha image. In this way, Narathiwat encompasses landscapes and coastline as well as architecture and Buddhist imagery. This is a broader thematic scope than the temple and waterfall attractions in Bacho District.
