Helloooo! Today we conquer 399 curves to reach the village in the mist where the weather is cold all year round, located near Kanchanaburi.
The village of E-tong is a small village located in Thong Pha Phum District, Kanchanaburi Province, near Sangkhla Buri on the Thai-Burmese border. Most of the villagers are Burmese, with a Burmese culture. The people are friendly, the food is delicious, and the weather is good. It's a very relaxing place to visit, perfect for a real vacation… Relax, seriously. There aren't many activities to do, just sit, lie down, walk, breathe fresh air, and relax.
Journey to E-Tong and Pilok
The journey to E-Tong and Pilok begins with an early morning departure from the Southern Bus Terminal in Bangkok. A van will take you to Kanchanaburi Bus Terminal (approximately 2 hours), where you can catch a bus to Sangkhla Buri. The bus ride to Thong Pha Phum Market takes another 2 hours. From there, a yellow shared taxi will transport you to E-Tong village (approximately 2 hours). You should arrive in E-Tong around 3 pm.
Once you arrive, you can rent a motorbike from your accommodation and explore the area at your own pace.
Visiting Jork Ka Din Waterfall
After checking in, we set off to explore Jork Ka Din Waterfall, located 5 kilometers from the village. The journey wasn't difficult, with clear signposts guiding the way. However, the road was quite steep and narrow, making for a thrilling and cautious drive.
Upon arrival, we paid an entrance fee of 40 baht per person and embarked on a 300-meter walk to the waterfall. The sight that greeted us was breathtaking: crystal-clear water cascading down a towering cliff, creating a truly awe-inspiring spectacle.
Reaching the Scenic Viewpoint of Khao Chang Suk 🌳
This sentence provides a concise and informative title for the translated text, indicating the destination and its natural setting.
Leaving the waterfall, I planned to go up to watch the sunset, but the sky was overcast and the fog was thick. I couldn't even see the mountains.😭 Oh well, I'll come back tomorrow morning!
Waking up at 5 am, I wonder if I'm really this dedicated to studying. 5555
I went up to wait for the sunrise, but the sky didn't cooperate. It was cloudy again. Good thing! I forced myself to wake up.
In the end, I waited until almost 7 am for the sun to rise, and the sky finally started to clear up enough to see the view.
The sentence is empty. There is nothing to translate.
After taking the photo, I had to rush back to the accommodation to check out and take a shared taxi back.
The last bus is at 8:00 AM. There are buses at 6:00 AM, 7:00 AM, and 8:00 AM that arrive at Thong Pha Phum Market. From there, you can take a bus to Kanchanaburi Bus Terminal and then a van back to Bangkok. 💜
