Out of the blue, I felt like praying to Buddha, so I looked for a temple that was a bit difficult to access. I came across Wat Khao Wong Phra Chan, which is a challenge for travelers from all over the world because they have to climb 3,790 steps. And this is the origin of this OneDayTrip.
The journey started with a train to Lopburi. Then, I took a motorcycle taxi from the station to the bus terminal. From there, I took a van to the entrance of Wat Khao Wong Phra Chan (don't forget to tell the driver). Then, I took another motorcycle taxi to the temple. Don't forget to ask for the driver's phone number so they can pick you up on the way back, because there are no cars coming out of there.

Once I arrived, I started climbing. If you're physically fit, you can do it. It doesn't take long to climb, just over an hour. Hehe.

Let's start walking now.
The actual first step is located here. The previous path was just a warm-up.
No need to worry about running out of water on the way up, as there are water vendors at every rest stop. Feel free to take a break and rehydrate before continuing your climb.
Rest well and then continue fighting! Fight!
"I'm so tired of walking, when will we finally arrive? I'm drenched in sweat now. But wait! What's that? Are we almost there?"
We have arrived at the 3,790 steps after more than an hour (depending on your physical condition). The view from the top is beautiful, and the wind is very cool.
If you walk behind the temple and turn right, you will find the path to Pha Nang Fa. It's just as beautiful.
There is a helicopter landing pad before the path to Nang Fa Waterfall. The view is quite beautiful.

Time to go down. I thought it would be a relaxing descent, but my legs were shaking like crazy! TT
The descent was a bit faster than the ascent.
Once you reach the bottom, call the motorbike taxi that you arranged to pick you up. Get off at the entrance of the temple. Then, hail a van to the transportation station. This trip will require multiple transfers for those without a car. ^^
After arriving at the transportation station, I hailed a motorcycle taxi to Wat Phra Prang Sam Yot before returning. There were indeed a lot of monkeys.
Goodbye Lopburi, I'll be back again.
Thank you to everyone who watched my review. I hope you have a happy trip and enjoy what you do. ^^
