.. If you have limited time, where can you travel?


Not too far from Bangkok

It should be easy to travel.

Affordable

Oh, I see.

How to get to Khao Laem Ya?




September 5, 2015



The starting point for traveling to the provinces is, of course, the Victory Monument.

Today we will travel to

Khao Laem Ya-Mu Ko Samet National Park, Rayong Province

My friend and I made an appointment to meet at Century because the van we will be taking is parked next to Century, where there are a lot of van parking spaces.



Today is Saturday. There are quite a lot of people. I waited for about 3 cars before I could get on.


Finally got on the bus at 8.45 am and fell asleep right away.





11.45 AM to Khao Laem Ya



The van dropped us off across from the park after we paid the entrance fee.


We will get a map. We have to walk into the park ourselves.

The park ranger said it's not far, kid.

Only 800 meters (in my heart, I'm thinking, "Sister, the sun is right above my head!")

We decided to hitch a ride with a tourist into the park.

But at that time, no car went in at all. You can walk.



Although the sun was strong, there were trees along the way to provide shade.



I told myself that just moving is like exercising. 555



After walking for a while, you will come across the park office, which means you are almost halfway there.



This is the last picture we took on the trail, as we started to encounter monkeys.


And after this, there will be a fork in the road. We don't remember how many forks there were.

There will be a sign saying "Dangerous curve, beware of monkeys" approximately.

We have had bad experiences with monkeys since we were children.

Our phone case is yellow. The monkey might think our phone is a banana.

If they snatch it away, it will definitely be bad (I was really serious then 555)

There are a lot of monkeys on the path, all ages. Walking past the monkeys...

All eyes are on, that's not enough. The monkey performs 20+ actions.

In the middle of the road, that's turning around. Oh, I didn't come to interrupt. Don't come in.



We walked with suspicion, but in the end, we made it through safely. (Phew, what a relief!)



As much as we want to walk the nature study path, the army has to march on its stomach, right? (:



Walking here, you can see the camping area, the sea view, and the landmark of this place.



Park entrance ticket



The only restaurant in the park, as far as I could see, was a made-to-order restaurant.





We love to travel because every journey often has unexpected stories.

Here too, the wasp stung for the first time.



.. After turning on the tap and putting my hand under the water, just as the water was flowing.

A jolt of pain shot through my hand as I looked down to see a rusty nail embedded in my palm.

We then walked to a local restaurant. The owner, an elderly woman, used tongs to remove the steel wool for us.

And I applied balm, my hands were shaking so much, it hurt a lot. Now it's better but still swollen.

Everyone should be aware of their surroundings. My aunt said it might be a wasp.

It likes to cling to the faucet pipe.


After finishing various personal errands, it was time for everyone to float, er, wait.
That is
.

A 1.4 kilometer nature trail walk

My friends and I started walking along the path, which is typically started from the forest side.

The forest is quite shady and the air is humid.



This place is full of these fruits. I don't know what kind of fruit they are.



So refreshing (:



We just keep walking, walking on, on, on...





At the end of the forest, we will see a view like this. I almost screamed. The sky is so beautiful.



Strong wind, good view, feel free



How long has it been since I looked up at the sky and only saw buildings?



From here we can see both the mountain, the cape, and the grass, just as the name suggests.





Let's go to Laem together.



I came here and took a picture with the sign.



Many people say that this place is Laem Phromthep 2 or Little Laem Phromthep.



I've never been to Laem Phromthep, so I don't know how it's different, but here, right now, we're very happy.



It's a shame I didn't get to see the sunrise or sunset here today.



Most people tend to choose their favorite places, such as waterfalls, forests, seas, and mountains.



For us, she can like waterfalls or the sea, but please don't like him (just kidding).



This means that you don't have to choose, because there are forests, mountains, and the sea.







After a leisurely stroll, we'll continue our journey, meandering along the path.

To go to the sea !!!



This part of the sea is not popular for swimming because there are a lot of rocks.



We sat on the rock for hours, listening to the sound of the wind and the water.



Everything seemed so peaceful that my eyes began to droop.



I can't take it anymore. Let me take off my shoes and walk around to feel the water.



From the picture, everything looks calm, no people.



But the truth is, quite a lot of people



Time was running out, so we walked across the bridge to reach the landmark of this place.



Landmark

And whoever comes to Khao Laem Ya and doesn't see the wooden bridge - white tower
It means you went to the wrong place (555)

Distant Corner Tower



The sky is starting to get cloudy and very dark.



From the midday sun shining on my head, cheerful music, love songs echoing in my ears.



Every song I think of now is so dramatic, the atmosphere just takes me there.



We sat here for a moment, and when the wooden bridge was free, we changed sides.



We saw many people jumping into the water here, judging from the water marks.



We want to jump after that. We have to go home. Repeat it.



And then... the fun is over. It's time for us to go home.





On the way back, the three of us decided not to face the monkeys again, so we hitched a ride with someone who was leaving the park.

Thank you very much (T/\T)



He was going to drop us off at the van station, but my friend and I already called a van. Thanks again.


Leaving the park, I called a van. The wait was quite long, but they picked me up right in front of the park.

In the evening, several cars drove into the park. It must have been quite lively.





Tell each other



As for Laem Ya, before we went, we thought it would be peaceful and uncrowded. But in reality,

It was quite crowded, probably because it was a holiday. However, I would like to remind everyone who visits tourist attractions to

No matter where we are, we are not the owners of nature. Even if we pay an entrance fee, it does not mean that we can do whatever we want.

They say that



If you "like" a flower, you will pick it. If you "love" a flower, you will water it.





Summary of expenses



Roundtrip van 400 baht

Park entrance fee 20 baht

Fried rice costs 50 baht.

The cost of drinking water is 30 baht.



Translation:



Total 500 baht
