Khao Kradong is an extinct volcano about 6 km south of Buriram town, now a forest park. Climbing the 297 naga-balustraded steps to the top brings you to the huge white Buddha statue "Phra Suphaphra Bophit" and a small Khmer ruin. The summit offers wide views over the town and Buriram United's stadium. Trails also lead down into the forested crater. At the foot of the mountain there is a reservoir and a fitness trail, and locals often come for an evening walk. Entry is free. A taxi from town takes about 15 minutes. It can be combined with a visit to Chang Arena and the racing circuit in one day.
