Communist Insurgencyedit
As a mountain bordering Thailand and Malaysia, Khao Nam Khang was a base for the Malay Chinese Communist separatists during the early cold war era.[2][3] Today, the remnants of the base and the underground tunnels are maintained and converted into the "Khao Nam Khang Historical Tunnel" museum. Entry fees include 20 baht for adult, and 10 baht for child (Thai), 100 baht for adult, and 50 baht for child (foreigner).
