Mysterious Green Light Spotted Over Khao Phanoen Thung
Officials at Kaeng Krachan National Park captured images of an unexplained green light in the night sky during the season's opening night.
On November 1, 2026, staff at Kaeng Krachan National Park in Phetchaburi province recorded a mysterious green light appearing in the night sky above the Khao Phanoen Thung viewpoint. The phenomenon occurred on the very first night of the park's 2026 tourism season, which officially reopened to campers and visitors on November 1 following a three-month closure for ecological restoration and safety during the rainy season.
Khao Phanoen Thung is a renowned destination within the Kaeng Krachan Forest Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage site, famous for its morning sea of mist and lush mountain landscapes. While the images of the green light have generated significant public interest, park authorities have stated that there is currently no confirmed explanation for the cause of the light.
For travelers and residents, the reopening of the site marks the start of the peak season for those seeking cooler weather and nature-based tourism. While the park remains open for camping and sightseeing, the origin of the light remains a subject of speculation. Visitors are encouraged to enjoy the natural beauty of the area, though they should be aware that the specific nature of this atmospheric event is still under investigation and remains unverified by scientific experts.
