In the midst of a multitude,

Yet, my heart feels empty.

The music continues to play,

But my loneliness remains.

As if I am alone,

Living a solitary life on this planet.

While listening to this song, a chat notification from a close friend suddenly pops up...

Friend: Heyyy, I'm feeling lonely...
Why do I feel so lonely even though I'm surrounded by so many people???
(Damn, it's like you're listening to YouTube right next to me, dude!)

Me: Feeling lonely? Here's a song for you (sends the link to the song above to make their heart tingle a little).
And asks, "Wanna go on a trip together?"
I saw someone on Facebook post a picture of a place that looked absolutely stunning. It's like heaven on earth.
Let's go there together, I'll plan the whole trip for you :>

Maybe because of their loneliness, my friend quickly agreed.

This trip was made possible solely because of the mood of this song.

Anyway, I would like to thank Krua Wong Fly and Katto Lipta for making us two pigs realize that heaven is just within reach in Thailand :>

P.S. This is our second review. Below is our first review (we're getting good at playing Pantip, haha).

"Solo travel in Phayao-Nan, a clear and enjoyable experience for all ages >"

http://pantip.com/topic/34138816

Some people said that my first post felt like they were traveling with me. I guess my feelings were too strong. 5555

Anyway, this trip we will make our friends feel like they are traveling with us, okay? Crepe?!?!

Feel free to ask any additional travel information here (this is a page we haven't updated since our college days).

Let's share our travel experiences and chat about them.

We are gossip lovers, we like to listen to other people's stories. Haha :>

Hello~~~ Hua Lamphong

This trip, we will take you to a small paradise with big-hearted people,
called "Noen Maprang District, Phitsanulok Province".
With a budget of only 1,200 baht,

Many people call it Guilin, Zhangjiajie, or Vang Vieng.
But whatever you call it, we call it
" N o e n M a p r a n g P h i t s a n u l o k "
with pride. :>

*Our travel methods in this trip are train - songthaew - local bus - motorcycle taxi - tour bus and the most important method is hitchhiking.

And trust us, traveling to Noen Maprang like this is much cooler. :> (And it's not that difficult either)

We used the past Saturday-Sunday for the trip.
We started our journey by train on Friday night.
As soon as we finished work, we headed straight to Hua Lamphong.

We took the train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai (but we got off at Phitsanulok).
You can check the train schedule on this website:

http://www.railway.co.th/checktime/checktime.asp

And if you don't understand, you can call the call center for information anytime at 1690.

My friend initially suggested taking a bus instead of a train, as if hinting at something (haha).

But!!! We fought tooth and nail, argued until we were blue in the face, but we were determined to take the train.

I want to sit down. Do you understand that feeling?

You can't forbid everything, but you can't forbid feelings, man.

So excited for my first long train journey! The furthest I've ever been is Wongwian Yai to Bang Bon. My life is so un-hip, lol.

For this trip, we chose to travel by express train, departing at 10:00 PM from Hua Lamphong.

The train costs 309 baht, but the bus is only 270 baht. I told you, the feeling is what matters! 555555

(Tourists can take a bus from Mo Chit. Buses depart every hour, with the last one leaving around 10-11 pm.)

Bus numbers according to our research

[Spoiler] Click to reveal hidden textPhitsanulok Automotive 02-936-2924-5

Tel: 02-936-2841

Cherchai Tour 02-936-0198

Sukhothai Win 02-936-3753

As the second hand reached the number 12, signaling four o'clock in the evening, the train suddenly lurched forward with a loud "chug-a-chug."

The journey has begun. Anyway, please support us two.

I turned left and then O.o
I turned right and then o.O
No matter how I sleep, I can't fall asleep... TT

I'm hungry, so I ordered Japanese food (instant noodles) that was being sold on the train.
Oh my god... It costs 30 baht. I want to cry until my tears flow like instant noodle soup TT
At this price, I can get stir-fried pork with crispy pork and a half-fried egg.

No matter how I try to sleep, I can't fall asleep.

Stir to wake up.

The train jolted suddenly, making me jump.

Life... on the train for the first time, barely slept TT

I haven't seen anyone on Pantip review that the train driver didn't turn off the lights. Oh, I'm about to cry.

As far as I can remember, it's like I didn't sleep... It feels like I just warped to Phitsanulok Railway Station... My eyes are wide open until morning.

Special No : 2
Sleepy eyes in Phitsanulok

Time Almost 5 am, I arrived in Phitsanulok

Confused, I turned to my friend and said, "Did I even sleep?"
It felt like I didn't sleep, or maybe I did and I don't remember. Oh, so confused! Focus, please! 😭😭😭😭
I need caffeine in my system ASAP!

There is a morning market by the train today.

What to eat for breakfast? Let's have some delicious porridge and stew. So yummy!

Anyone who comes here must stop by. It's right across from the morning market. It's really delicious, I confirm.

Doubled up on two, that's some serious eating, I tell you. 5555555

Full stomach, but!!! Don't let your eyelids droop.
We have to be on our way, you know!

From the train station, we need to find a car to the old bus terminal (Bor Kor Sor) to find a car to Noen Maprang.

We took a songthaew from the front of the train station. The driver told us that the whole car would cost 60 baht.

10 baht per person for the whole ride, not per person. So, if there are six people, it would be 10 baht each.

But there were two of us, so we each paid 30 baht.

I swear I didn't sleep, but why am I so energetic? 5555555

Around 7:15 AM, we arrived at the Old Southern Bus Terminal.

Head straight to ticket booth 28 for HD tickets. Wait, we're in different lines. Go to sleep, I heard you can't sleep on the train. 555555 Oh no!!

Tell him to go to Khao Ma Prang.

(Handsome and fit men get a 50% discount, but if you're not handsome, be prepared to pay a thousand bucks, my friend. Hahahaha)

The fare is 70 baht per person (the essence begins here).

The Phitsanulok - Noen Maprang bus comes every 1-2 hours.

There will be hot and air-conditioned cars.

Luckily, we got on an air-conditioned bus this round.

How are you, high-society people? Did you go to Khao Neun with a Benz? Hehehe.

Once you get in the car, what are you waiting for?

Fell asleep quickly, because I was sleepy, you know? Zzzzzz

It took us about an hour from Phitsanulok city to reach Noen Maprang district.

Every Saturday there is a morning market, which is very lively.
The villagers looked at us in confusion, wondering what we were doing.
They must have thought to themselves, "These two people are carrying a lot of stuff, like they're running away with their boyfriends." 55555

The place where we got off the bus has a police station for the people.

And we stumbled upon this word

"Tourist Service Center"

Straight to the point, what are we waiting for?

Before we go on a rampage, why should we carry our backpacks and make ourselves heavy? The kind police officers let us leave our backpacks with the bricks we were carrying. 55555

He only left the house with the police, but we asked the police to keep the backpack instead. 55555

Our backpacks don't have much of value, just bras and underwear. Oops! (This post is getting spammed, haha)

And so on and so forth, the essence of it all.

The police officer recommended taking a motorbike taxi to get around, as there are no motorbikes or bicycles available for rent here.

(But if everyone goes there a lot, there will definitely be one in the future. We went to gossip about their inner circle, haha)

*If you want a motorcycle taxi driver to take you around and wait for you at each stop, it will cost around 300 baht.

(Go to Ban Mung, the caves in that area are up to us) The price depends on your bargaining skills.

My friends and I were talking about hiring him to take us to Ban Mung, and then we'll figure out the rest ourselves.

Because we both want to go slowly, we don't want to rush. How is it? Slowwwww life is okay, right? We were so slow that we didn't even look at the sun. 55555

So we asked the motorcycle taxi driver to take us to Wat Ban Mung for 50 baht.

Let's go!
As expected, escaping work is the duty of office workers 55555555

It's about 7-8 km to Wat Bang Mung.
It takes less than 5 minutes.
The motorbike fare is 50 baht, and it disappears before my eyes TT

Hello Wat Bang Mung, just seeing the mountains makes me feel happy. Breathe in the fresh air.

At Khao Ma Prang, there are many caves, and each cave is quite far from the others.

However, inside the Bang Mung Temple, there are two caves.

First cave: Nang Sib Song Cave

We remember watching period dramas on Channel 7 as kids, back when there was no HD.

Out of 12 siblings, 11 had their eyes gouged out, but the 12th only had one eye gouged out.

At the end, they found a jar containing eyeballs. Everyone took their gouged eyeballs and put them back in their sockets.

Matrix code, remember guys? Tell us if we're wrong, because our childhood imagination was too advanced. 5555555555

His charm is really something else.

This picture, my legs are small, I like it sooooooooo much, hehe (Is this small already?? 5555)

Cave Two: Luang Pho Bunmee Cave
Walk to the right from Nang Sibsong Cave and you will find Luang Pho Bunmee Cave.

How eerie...

Running alone here?

But the dark atmosphere is good.

Any words of wisdom? -/|\-

Hello everyone, I just got off work. I'll be back later. Kisses.

It's like a novel, lol.

After taking photos for a while, the weather suddenly changed from bright sunshine to rain.
The weather is so unpredictable.

About an hour after the rain stopped, we went for a walk around the neighborhood.

So we have another challenge for ourselves, which is

I would like to see a picture that includes the following elements: Khao Nein Ma Prang mountain, the road leading to it, and houses of the villagers, all in one composition.

What are you waiting for? Let's hurry up and find the view of my dreams! :>

I walked for a while but couldn't find it.

But they found two elementary school children playing mud with great enthusiasm.

He went straight to the two kids and said that

We: Aiy, I really want to see a stunning mountain view. Where is it, my dear?

Elementary school student: Oh, it's another alley, brother. Follow me, brother. I'll take you there.

Wow! What a bright future for the nation! I hope you get to 6th grade soon, haha!

After a while, the two little ones brought their two dads to see this view.

It's so beautiful! If it were winter, the clouds would be floating through the mountains too (hehe, I'll have to come back again, I love it).

Hipster alert! (Many people say, "Hipster, right?" Haha, you'll get it soon.)

Let's take a picture with the gang of kids. Oh my, they're posing so handsome, it reminds me of the song. The young men are so handsome and stylish, oh my god, hahaha.

Thanks a lot, kid, for bringing the two dads to the crowd.

If you turn your back to the temple, you will see an alley. Turn right.

Then you will see the alleyway, then turn your face towards the temple.

I'll find a great angle like I did before. Yay!

After taking some photos with my friends, a man in a car with the window rolled down greeted us.

Man: Hello, little sisters.

It turned out that the man's name was Toon, and he was the owner of the Facebook page "This is Mueang Mae Prang District." It was because we had been following this page that we were standing there at that moment.

https://www.facebook.com/ที่นี่-อำเภอเนินมะปราง-จังหวัดพิษณุโลก-1460691707569402

Luckily, Toon offered to take us on a tour of the nearby area. We didn't hesitate and quickly got into his car. 55555555

"If we hadn't met Toon, my friends and I would have just kept walking. If we saw a car, we would have flagged it down. If not, we would have kept walking. We were on vacation, so why would we rush like we were late for work? Right?"

And this is Toon's car.

A little further down, you'll find this...

Oh my god, I'm obsessed with the color green!

This area tells the motorcycle taxi driver to take you on a tour.

Before we arrived at Wat Ban Mung, Win asked if we wanted to turn.

But we're still confused, so we said no, haha.

If anyone wants to tell him that "the rice field before Soi Wat Ban Mung"

Would it be okay if we told you a long story with pictures? :>

It's the real deal. The sun is shining brightly on the rice fields, and the rice fields are green, very green, green with an auraaaaaa.

It's like spraying the rice field with glutathione instead of insecticide. 555

"We don't fall in love easily.
But this city has stolen our hearts."

The next collection is a series of beautiful photos thatพี่ตุ่น secretly took of us. Thank you so much! :>

Credits to the amazingพี่ตุ่น!

Someone said it's like we're carrying an AK-47 5555. Brutal, right?

Some of the pictures may be a bit blurry because I used my phone to take them.

But it's like, his perspective is so good, oh my god.

Let me tell you a long, long story about Brother Mole with pictures.

We love it :>

Oh, I'm in love with this city. The view is great, and the people are as plump as the rats in Bang Khae Market. 55555

We love this picture. Let's set a timer and take a picture together.

"Brother Mole must have thought to himself, 'I'm standing right here, why won't you let me take a picture?'"

Aw, so cute! Let me share a picture with you. Oh my, it's the most adorable thing ever!

As the Teletubbies said,
"Time for fun is over..."

We have to prepare to travel to our accommodation.

Brother Tun came to send us to the police station again.
With a farewell with a smile and a classic sentence that is sincere that
"Thank you very much, brother. I promise I will come back again. :> "

This picture, I set up a tripod and invited Brother Tun to take a picture with me. It's so warm, hihi.

P.S. I'm so tired after all that walking. TT

Special No : 3
Where is the swing on the big tree, oh my god ???

When we decided to visit Khao Ma Prang,

It's very difficult to find travel information here (especially for those without a private car TT)

We came across a picture of "a large tree with a hanging swing, overlooking a green view".

I've never seen anything like this before. Does Thailand have anything like this?

Translation:

After some research, we found out that this place is

"Ban Rak Thai, Chomphu Subdistrict, Noen Maprang District, Phitsanulok Province"

And here is our accommodation for tonight :>

How to get there is

Wait for the bus from Noen Maprang to Phitsanulok and tell the driver to drop you off at Na Paat Intersection (Na Paat in Chomphu District, not Na Paat in Uttaradit).

* Last round 5:30 PM. Buses run every 1-2 hours.

Once you get off at Nam Pad Intersection, you can hail a car to go up to your accommodation. (Sister Ying said there are cars going up all the time.)

Tell him to go to the homestay, Baan Rak Thai, owned by Khun Ying. Be sure to mention Khun Ying's name, as there are other accommodations in the area.

**If you can't hail a taxi, call Ms. Ying and she will send someone from the homestay to pick you up on a motorbike.**

(The price is negotiable with Ms. Ying. It's around 40-50 baht, because it's uphill.)

However, the aforementioned method is our backup plan, because we will go to homestay at Phi Ying's house by waving our hands to stop a car!!!

And that is, we waved for a long time, more than counting sheep to sleep TT
We waved for about 10 cars, no one picked us up, that's okay, but no one even stopped to ask where we were going 55555 Oh, life
Until the motorcycle taxi driver who drove us to Ban Mung Pan Jak told us that
"Stop waving, kid. Everyone here has gone home. No one will go to Nam Pat."

But if we take the 5:30 p.m. bus, we won't be able to get to P'Ying's house until late at night.

And here we are, two cute little girls, looking very dangerous ><

Hold on, hold on. You're not looking at yourself in the mirror, are you? You survived walking through the middle of a rice field with just the two of you, and you're safe now, so you don't have anything to be afraid of, right? 55555555

Drama continues... I'm tired of waving. I'm thinking of taking the bus instead...

But out of the blue, a pickup truck came by. I thought to myself, "I'll raise my hand just in case he picks me up."

And then this pickup truck stopped.

Yay! I have a car now.

We said we would go to Na Paat intersection (meaning we would hitchhike again to go to your house, Ms. Ying).

He invited us to sit in front with him because he was afraid it would rain.

As we talked, it turned out that his house is near Ms. Ying's house, and he offered to drop us off there.

Yay, I only met kind people.

(Sister Ying has been calling us regularly to ask if we have a car. If not, she will have the homestay kids pick us up on a motorbike.)

Don't worry, there will be a car. Hehe.

We told the aunt who picked us up that we had been waving for a long time but no one stopped. Only you, auntie, stopped.

This is a test of our faith.

I'm almost in shock. Does my face really look that Burmese?

It won't be long before we arrive at the Rak Thai Homestay.

Let's take a selfie with the auntie.

What's the point? Why are you arching your back so much? Haha.

Thank you very much, auntie and uncle. ><

The price is 200 baht per person.

If you are interested, please send me a private message. :>

Psst, did you know that P'Ying is also an actress? Hehe.

An entrance fee of 20 baht is charged for those who do not stay overnight.

Let him have it. His view is really good. Consider it a maintenance fee for the place.

They call it a colorful house. :>

And we were the ones who requested to stay here. We wanted to have a moment to update our social media that

"Ugh, woke up to this, making people jealous for fun, something like that 55555 (You can scold me, I don't mind 55555)"

Our friends are scared to sleep like this. They often ask if it's safe or not.

But I also told my friend, "You, you look at Guk's face more than you look at yours, haha." 555555

Okay, clear, friends understand well, haha.

After enjoying the view from the bed for a short while, the rain started to pick up again, and it poured heavily, getting heavier and heavier.

It's not that I'm afraid of the rain or lightning or anything, but... I'm scared of getting electrocuted! 😭😭😭
The two of us sat hugging our knees in the corner of the room, and our parents' faces immediately came to mind.
I thought to myself, "If I get electrocuted, I won't be able to write a review on Pantip. I feel sorry for the Thai people who won't be able to visit this heavenly city." 😭😭😭

But then, it was as if a ray of light appeared before us.
The caretaker of the accommodation, covered in a tarpaulin, ran up to us and said, "You don't have to sleep here anymore. Come and sleep with me in the house. Hurry up and pack your things!"

Yay!
Yay!
I'm happier than if I had met P'Muey Wongsakorn! 😭😭😭 I'm so happy I could cry. I don't care about waking up to a view like this anymore. 555555

The after-effects of the rain made the mosquito net that was so cute at first disappear in the blink of an eye.

And then the old lady brought us to sleep here.

Great, lots of plugs, don't worry about getting shocked.

Sleep well tonight, everyone. Haha.

That's what you see in the distance.

Rolling hills, green rice fields

In the morning, only my friend and I were left at the homestay, Baan Rak Thai, owned by Khun Ying.
We couldn't miss the popular spot that everyone who sees the picture must look for.

Where is this place?

That's right, the swing on the big tree.
Located at Baan Rak Thai Homestay (Khun Ying), Chomphu Subdistrict, Noen Maprang District, Phitsanulok Province.

We asked Ms. Ying what ideas she had for making a swing on this tree.

"Sister Ying said he just wants it, he likes it

Everyone keeps saying that it can't be done, it can't be done.

But I believe that it can be done, and it really can be done :> "

Let's try something difficult, haha.

This angle can be seen if we stand on the colorful house.

(The house we were originally going to stay in, but it was hit by heavy rain and we couldn't sleep. Oh no!)

I love this feeling so much :>

Let's go for a cute concept.

I'm so excited about sunflowers ^_____^

Please be a hip translator for me. 55555555

The cutest ever

We are just Sony-borrowing Onlies, okay? Just using it as a prop, chill.

The Teletubbies said again in the second round that
"It's really time to stop having fun...."
Do I have to prepare to go back to Bangkok already? TT

Sister Ying said the way to get back is to hitch a ride down to Nam Pat Intersection.
If there really isn't any, the kids at the homestay will take me.

There are 2 ways to get back from Nam Pat Intersection.
1. From Nam Pat Intersection, take a bus from Phitsanulok to Noen Maprang.
Go back down to Noen Maprang.
And take a van from Noen Maprang back to Bangkok (there will be a van queue near the police station).
There are rounds at 8.00 am, 10.00 am and 2.00 pm.

2. From Nam Pat Intersection, take a bus from Noen Maprang to Phitsanulok.
Go to Phitsanulok city.
And take a tour bus back to Bangkok. There are buses every 1 hour.

But the two of us were lucky again. Two brothers happened to come from Phitsanulok city.
They stopped by to see the view at Baan Rak Thai Homestay (Sister Ying's).
They invited us to go to Phitsanulok city with them.
I felt bad, but I went with them.
Thank you very much.
You are so cute. Can I take a selfie with you? ><

Bye bye, Ninen Maprang

See you again in winter :>

Unstable weather

Silver lining

Always beautiful :>

It seems like our older brother knew that we were both very hungry.
When we arrived in Phitsanulok city, he took us to a restaurant with hanging legs by the big temple.
There were so many restaurants that we just had to guess which one to eat at.

May I stop by Wat Yai to make merit? May you encounter only good things. :>

We then prepared to return to the garage of Phitsanulok Yanยนต์.

It took almost 2 hours for the car to leave.

So we walked around looking for a coffee shop while we waited.

I'm curious, why are the kids in Phitsanulok so good-looking these days?

Every person who walks into the coffee shop is so cute (I'm talking about the girls, haha)

Just wanted to say, no pictures of crispy fish.

Look at the picture of the milk.

Why didn't you take the bus here?

It's a tour bus like...

There is rice.

There are also snacks.

There is water.

Okay, let's go. Hello Monday.

I wish I had 30 hours a day on Saturdays and Sundays. TT

---

Please help me translate this sentence:

If you're going on a trip, don't forget to take care of the Khao Ma Prang National Park, okay?

Preserve the freshness of nature.

This will allow us to have good things from Thailand with us for a long time.

We have no idea how much everyone expects the places we review to be as beautiful as the real thing.

But when we are there, we feel at ease and don't have to think about anything.

For us, it's the answer for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.

That's all I need. :>

Thank you to the lovely people at Khao Ma Prang for your help throughout my trip.

Thank you, buddy, for taking the time to be my friend. You didn't even complain once. You're the best!

Thank you, nature, for creating such a beautiful Ma Prang Hill. :>

And most importantly

Thank you everyone for following and liking this post ><

Note: We will gradually respond to private messages and comments.

If you are asked for information in a private message and we do not respond,

You can chat with us on Facebook.
