The world is not ending (yet). Where should we go this weekend? When the body craves nature, Wanderlust strikes. What is it? Wanderlust is the desire to travel to new places and experience new things. Or, to put it simply, "restless feet." For us, it's probably just a "yellow ghost." 55

Alright, welcome to the "find a victim" phase, I mean, the "find travel buddies" phase! 55 Sometimes it's a real struggle to get a group of friends together, even if you try to corner them. Anyway, let's put our old friends on hold for now and go on an adventure with some strangers. In the end, we ended up with people from all over the country, north, northeast, central, east, and south, as our travel companions to conquer the mountaintop. Yay!!



Our journey began at the Muser Forest Protection Unit, where we boarded a 4WD vehicle for a multi-hour journey to the trailhead. The 16-kilometer distance was long and tiring, but we managed to keep our spirits up with snacks and laughter.



Hello, my darling. Oh, I mean, gravel!



Let's go! Backpacks are packed, people are ready, let's explore the forest!

After about an hour's walk, we will find Pha Hin Chor, a photo spot with a view, before reaching the golden meadow. We climbed, took photos, and played around for another hour at this spot. I understand why it takes 3-4 hours to climb the mountain - it's not because the walk is long, but because it takes so long to take photos! In fact, if you just walk straight ahead, you can reach your destination in 1-2 hours. But if you're a photographer, this place is definitely a trap. You'll fall in love with it and want to rest your legs.


Obstacles are meant to be overcome!


No matter how high, we must reach it!

There is no height that cannot be measured if the heart is determined.

No matter how scared of falling, I will climb up.


Despite falling down, one thing remains constant: I will not give up. I will overcome, even if the gap between us is vast and we are different. I will never give up. Roar!!!


After playing at Pha Chor, we continued our journey. Soon, we arrived at a golden meadow, shimmering yellow, beautiful to the eye. Wow! Wow! Whoosh!


Doi Wat Jai


If you want to compete, compete with me.


Are you ready? Can you do it? Tell me!


The Hero's Chance


Faith, lift your legs, you can do it, don't give up. 55


Or, if you prefer, you can use a wheelbarrow.


Tired, take a break. If you're cute, take a picture.



I'm exhausted!


I'm tired too, haha.


Survivors


Conquer Monjong now!


Follow me


Looking back, the sun is about to set, and the sunlight is starting to fade.


Hello, is anyone there?


A large crowd! 555 Is this the Red Cross event at Mon Jam? It must be a festival for people who love to travel.


The sun has set.


Unable to reach Pha Huasingh, so I took a picture of the exploding sky instead. Where did all these people come from?


As the sun sets, it's time to find food! Dinner at this spot.


Done.


The event concluded with a bonfire activity. The images are very clear. 55


Awaken, Thai people, do not slumber in delusion.


An army marches on its stomach. So, we started our day with instant noodles!!! 555


And free food from the tent next door. Thank you very much. This meal looks much better now.


They said it was ready-made food. Oh, okay.


Absolutely delicious, my friends.


There is a wild chef next door.


The morning air is so refreshing!


After a hearty breakfast and clearing up, we set out in search of some refreshing scenery and breathtaking views. The thick fog, however, turned our bright morning into a sea of mist! The air was filled with nothing but hazy mist, putting an end to our hopes of capturing stunning seascapes. The pervasive fog and the accompanying chill demanded that we brace ourselves against the cold.


A scream!



The Red Cross Fair at Monjong is very crowded.


The once bustling slopes of the past are now desolate, with only stray dogs left to mourn the absence of the sea of fog.


I'd like to go back too. Preferably with a group of people.


The wind is very strong downstairs.


The tremors were also very strong on the vehicle.


See you again... We'll travel together again.


Excellent work!
