3. What time should you go to Ban Rom?

Summer (June to September): The weather, climate and scenery in Ban Rom are cool and fresh all year round, so you can come here at any time of the year. However, because this is a large area with a lot of trees and grass, the best time to come here is in the summer. You should avoid the rainy season because the soil will be wet, not good for traveling and playing at the park

If you come here in autumn or winter, especially in the late autumn and early winter, it is also a good idea to experience the moment when heaven and earth change in the middle of the pine forest with a wild landscape.
