Hello
We have been planning this trip for a long time. We have wanted to go for a long time, and I don't know why. Until I read the history of the dam construction, it made me want to go even more. And then I asked my friend to go with me. It took half a year to finalize the plan. 555 It took so long. When we decided, we booked the flight tickets and the raft directly with Saichon. We are waiting to travel. While waiting to travel, we studied the tourist attractions until we encountered an incident that made us very scared. But I can only say that it doesn't matter. Fear is something we create, and coupled with the flooding in the south, I thought I would have to postpone the trip again. But because I wanted to go so much, I called the raft. I asked the owner about the situation. The owner of the raft told me that the weather was clear. So I packed my bags. When the day of the trip arrived, I boarded the plane and waited for the van to pick me up to the dam. I stopped to buy something I couldn't miss: an energy drink. Hehe. When I arrived at the pier, I was amazed that the water had risen so high that it flooded the pier.
As you can see, after a while, a private boat came to pick us up. They took care of us until the end of the trip. The boat captain's name was P'Pud.
As we sailed, the three of us munched on sticky rice and fried chicken, snapping photos all the while. The atmosphere was incredible, making the journey well worth it. But where did all that water go?
After a while, we arrived at our accommodation.
Brother Poot said that he would take me on a tour in the afternoon. What was there to wait for? I grabbed a drink and enjoyed the atmosphere. Arm, at that time, it was like a private resort because there were only three of us, my friends and I, who had arrived. It was so cool. When it was time, we went to eat lunch, each holding a can of beer, and then went on the tour.
He took me to see the proclamation.
And then we returned to our accommodation, which was still deserted, haha. Oh, I love it! It's super private, and we had a blast. We played music, including "Greasy Cafe," which really set the mood.
Day 2 of the Getaway
Waking up early was even better than the day before. The air was crisp and filled with mist, perfect for a good night's sleep. I went to bed at 10 pm and woke up at 6 am, feeling incredibly refreshed. My guide took me on a wildlife watching tour, and after freshening up, my friend urged me to grab some provisions. "Hey, don't be slow, go get some supplies!" he exclaimed. It was still early in the morning!
The atmosphere is calm and the animals are out and about. It's time for breakfast. Tourists are starting to arrive, including Chinese and Russian visitors. It's going to be an entertaining day. P'Poo said we'll go on another tour in the afternoon. In the afternoon, we'll go sightseeing and then have some drinks.
By noon, our faces were burnt from playing in the water and drinking beer without applying sunscreen. 555 Then, we finally arrived at the highlight of the trip: "The Guilin of Thailand".
At this point, fear crept in. The water was crystal clear and silent, with only our group present. There were a few other tourists, but not many. Brother Pood told us we could swim, and he brought a ladder. We looked at each other, hesitant. Then, we decided to go for it. We put on our life jackets and jumped in without hesitation.
The scenery was incredibly beautiful, with crystal-clear water. We had planned to watch the sunset, but unfortunately, nature had other plans. Rain began to fall, draining our camera battery and leaving us with only our phone cameras to capture the moment.
The atmosphere in the evening after the rain stopped.
Upon arriving at the accommodation, we had dinner and drinks as usual. However, the night was a bit noisy due to the large number of tourists. Nevertheless, we managed to fall asleep, either due to exhaustion or intoxication.
Three days before the trip back, I was sipping tea and taking random photos with my camera when a friend came up to me and said, "Hey, my bag is missing. Do you know what was in it?" I replied, "No, but it had my passport and phone." The reason for this was that the bag got wet from the rain splashing into the room, so I had to hang it outside to dry. But what could I do? It was already gone. The first group of tourists had already left, so I had to accept it.
We then played in the water with two cold beers as usual, as a last hurrah before heading back. I must say it was worth the wait to come here. When it was time to leave, we had to wave goodbye, saying farewell to the fun. On the way back, Brother Pod showed me this and that, and his old house before the dam was built.
It's time to pull the plug. The time of the little panloman is over. 555
And so, we have reached the shore, ready to return to our work.
The total cost of this trip might be a bit expensive, wouldn't you say?
Round-trip airfare costs approximately 1,000 baht per person.
The cost is 14,500 baht.
The round-trip van fare is 350 baht per person.
Accessories = 1,000 baht per person
Approximately 8,000 baht per person.
Although the trip was expensive, it was worth it. We experienced the beauty of nature and learned the importance of conservation. We made sure not to litter and even encouraged a Chinese tourist to help pick up trash. While I may have seemed like a good person, it's important to remember that we all have a responsibility to protect the environment.
This concludes my presentation. Thank you all for your attention.
