Greetings! If you're planning a trip to witness the breathtaking sea of mist at "Neun Chang Suk," here are some recommendations.

Nestled near the majestic Neen Chang Suk, a small village nicknamed "Pilok Mine" beckons travelers with its charming homestays. These homestays, owned and operated by local residents, offer a unique opportunity to experience authentic village life. Whether you prefer the comfort of a private room or the thrill of camping under the stars, Pilok Mine has something for everyone. For those seeking convenience, homestays provide amenities such as showers, electricity, and access to local cuisine, making them a more comfortable option than camping on Neen Chang Suk. However, for adventure enthusiasts who crave a rustic experience, camping on Neen Chang Suk offers breathtaking views and an unforgettable encounter with nature.

The text describes a plan to visit Pilok to observe the sea of mist. The writer suggests driving to Pilok from the nearby village of Ban Chang Suek, arriving around 5:00 AM to witness the sunrise and the sea of mist. They emphasize that the route is not intimidating and recommend taking photographs before returning to Pilok for refreshments. In the evening, they propose returning to Pilok to watch the sunset.

Note: It is recommended to park your car behind the Chang Siek Hill and walk up a bit. This is because if you park on the Chang Siek Hill, during peak hours, the cars may block the road and you may not be able to get down.

The road on the left-hand side, as seen in the picture, has parking and a walkway leading up to the Changseuk Hill.

Moving on to Pilok, we only had about 4 hours. After coming down from the Changseuk Hill, there wasn't much to describe, so I'll focus on the pictures instead.

January 2, 2017, was a busy day with heavy traffic and limited parking availability. Arriving at 9:00 AM, I was greeted by this gate, which gave the impression of being in Korea or Japan.

Entering the E-Tong market, there are so many food stalls that you have to queue for almost every shop.

This is likely a love lock bridge, where couples can write their names on a lock and hang it on the bridge as a symbol of their love.

20 baht each. The items here are not expensive.


I particularly enjoy capturing the daily lives of local people through photography. They seem to have one enviable advantage: they are free from the hustle and bustle of modern life, living each day at a leisurely pace. Perhaps this is all we truly need in life.

Wearing shoes on the wrong feet is no big deal. Just a little fun with the kids.

I came across a coffee shop called PILOG CAMP COFFEE, which seems like the perfect place to relax. The front of the shop is right next to the river, and I imagine that if you spend the night here, you'll be greeted by morning mist on the water's surface.


We spent two hours relaxing here, and most importantly, there is free Wi-Fi. I'm using DTAC, and there is still no signal here. There are also electrical outlets to charge your camera batteries. I'm so happy! 5555



I see the bridge, a symbol of love, from afar.

This viewpoint is located near the Pilok Mine sign, and you can reach it by walking up to the old wooden house.


This tree looks familiar... hmm, is it a morning glory? Or maybe a cosmos? It's near the police station, right? There are some here too, huh?



Before we left, I saw a bathroom sign. It was the house of the owner, who actually let us use the bathroom for free. He didn't charge us anything, but he did have a donation box for water costs. Let's give him a big round of applause!

Unfortunately, we only have a short amount of time. We had planned to visit Sangkhla Buri and the Mon Bridge.

I'm captivated by this place and would love to spend a relaxing night here.
