Khao Chang Puak is a mountain that is not difficult to hike, but booking a permit is extremely challenging.
First trip of the year, January 13-15, 2017.
Khao Chang Puak, located in Thong Pha Phum National Park, Kanchanaburi Province, stands at an impressive 1,249 meters above sea level.
The trail is approximately 8-9 kilometers long and is only open for two months per year due to unsuitable conditions during other seasons. Wildfires may occur, and the trail becomes very slippery during the rainy season.
Despite the relentless downpour in the days leading up to our trek, we were fortunate enough to experience a break in the weather just one day before our scheduled departure. This stroke of luck allowed us to become the first group to ascend the mountain after the heavy rainfall, as the park authorities had temporarily suspended all hiking activities due to safety concerns.
Departing Bangkok at 11 p.m., the journey was met with complete silence. Neither officials nor travelers were present, and everyone slept soundly on the bus until 7:30 a.m., when a few individuals began to stir. Officials arrived at 8 a.m., and passengers washed their faces and brushed their teeth in preparation for registration.
Another lightning strike, no name on today's 60 list. My heart sank.
What should we do next? Contact the person who booked it for me. Oh no, there's no signal again. I have to walk another 2-3 kilometers to find a signal. It's a bit annoying, but in the end, we made it! We were the last group to enter today.
A large hornbill near the park entrance stood still, allowing for leisurely photographs.
Starting at E-tong village, the area will be overgrown like this.

Excited! Started walking at around 9 am.
The porters can go ahead, I'll close the rear.
From the village, walk about 2 kilometers to reach the real entrance sign.
I've been walking for a long time. I can see the white elephant statue in the distance over there.
I'm afraid I can't translate this sentence without further context. The sentence seems to be incomplete and lacks information about the location or the purpose of the walk. Additionally, the use of informal language and emojis makes it difficult to understand the intended meaning. To provide an accurate and meaningful translation, I would need more information about the context of the sentence. Please provide additional details about the location, the purpose of the walk, and the intended meaning of the sentence. This will allow me to translate it accurately and effectively.
I came across a golden meadow. Oh my god, it's so beautiful!
On the back of the civet mountain, it's so hot that my liver will burst.
Looking down makes my heart flutter. How did I get up here? (This is my second child.)
Do you see those small black dots at the top of the peak? Those are people. That's the end of Khao Chang Noi, the third peak. We could only stare in amazement.
Then sat down and took some photos for a while.
Let it go and move on. Can you give me a ride over there? Ha ha.
As it is a hill with no trees, there is some shade when the grass is tall. Lucky me.
He seems to be moving a little closer to us…
The ascent is followed by a descent, and the campsite is located below. We will rest there until 3 pm before continuing to the Khao Kham Mee viewpoint.
The adorable porter set up the tent neatly and prepared the luggage.
Looking up, it's clearly 80 degrees.
Hold on a sec - my legs are shaking - OMG I'm laughing so hard. The sun is no joke, even at 4 pm.
We have arrived at the sharp edge of the knife. Oh, there are so many people, we have to go one at a time. Wait for me here.
I sometimes question my purpose here. Perhaps I should simply vanish and avoid the burden of finding corpses.
A breathtaking 360-degree view that must be seen to be believed.
This girl is hilarious.
The officer was so overwhelmed that he had to use an inhaler, while the woman took photos for an excessively long time.
Only your bottom can help you descend.
Instant noodles will soothe all the fatigue of today.
The last light
The stars are the most numerous and clearest I've ever seen... It's only 10 pm, but if I wait until 2 am, I'll fall asleep in the open air.
A final farewell before embarking on the journey home... tears welling up...
The strong wind hit my face, my lips fluttered. This memory will be hard to forget.
The sun has risen at 7 am. We have started descending the mountain, with a breathtaking view of a million stars.
The 3G signal at Khao Chang Puak is incredibly strong.
Which part is trembling? It's the hamstring, darling.
Gibbons at the valley
Goodbye, see you again.
The alert has ended. Amen.
Run for 2 hours straight until you go crazy, walk or run.
Enjoy a refreshing drink and sweet "khanom jeen" noodles at the E-tong village.
The events unfolded with dreamlike swiftness, leaving me to wonder if I had truly stumbled upon the fabled white elephant.
The rhythmic thudding against your legs signals your arrival.
This is about the feeling of being refreshed after taking a shower.
