Have you ever felt that way? . . Friday is the last working day.
Then Friday night, Saturday, Sunday
What will we do? How can we be comfortable?
Hooowwws .. .. .. .. (Blowing air out of the mouth)

Okay, let's invite friends in the blue room. And then there was 1 victim.
We agreed to go to "Phu Thap Boek".



2 nights 2 days



After a brief introduction, the author invited a friend from the Blue Room forum (a male friend, 32 years old, named "Brother" for anonymity, while the author is a 24-year-old female). They agreed to meet at 10 pm at the first floor of Mo Chit station.



"I'm almost there, can you wait a little longer? At least let me see you."

"If I were a beautiful woman, my brother would have fallen in love with me."

"But I'm not everyone's cup of tea, and my brother is not my type either. (Just kidding... in case my brother reads this.)"



In a private message, let's discuss how to secure tickets for the 11:30 PM final departure of Phetprasert. This will be the first night of our journey.



Early morning, 5:30 AM. We arrived at Lom Sak Bus Terminal and walked across the street to the vegetable market.

As it was Saturday, there were many tourists. Our group of 15 hired a local car to go up the mountain for 100 baht each.

We secretly tried to bargain, as the previous group had paid 50 baht each. It depends on your luck.

However, after going up the mountain, we had to admit, "We would have paid 120 baht for you."



Permission to hitchhike, please. I would like to use this review to benefit others.
Fellow travelers on the mountain.



This is the way we came.



We have arrived at Phu Thap Boek on September 26, 2015. It was a day when we could clearly see the sea of fog.



The first light on the way up to Phu Thap Boek is beautiful, isn't it? Yes, it is.



After searching for accommodation for a while, the remaining houses were priced at over 2,000 baht. We therefore decided to sleep in a tent at "Rai Rim Pha".



Initially, we planned to rent two small tents for flexibility. However, the wait for the tents was too long. So, we decided to ask the men to sleep with us... haha.



Large tent 700 including mattress, deposit 100 baht, tarpaulin 50 baht.
** Don't forget to keep the receipt to receive the deposit refund. **



Rai Rim Pha Campsite


After setting up our tents, we were exhausted, and the atmosphere was perfect for a nap. With the occasional rain and fog, taking a nap seemed like the best option.



Upon waking, I take a leisurely stroll, capturing the scenery around me within the confines of my physical limitations. With each step, my heart races, not out of excitement, but from sheer exhaustion.



Carrots are 20 baht per bunch, and sweet bitter gourd (also known as cat's whiskers) is 50 baht per kilogram. Feel free to buy some as souvenirs!


Crepe for 30 baht, Pepsi for 20 baht.
I secretly think that if we eat this stir-fried kale with pork, it must be delicious. Haha!
(( Just kidding))



Capture a few moments before darkness falls.



On September 26th, 2015, we were greeted by a sea of fog. The following morning, on September 27th, only light rain and a thin mist were present.



After capturing the perfect shot, we packed up our tent, loaded our backpacks, and hitched a ride home. On our return journey, we were fortunate enough to meet five new friends. Three of these individuals were from the "Backpack Travel" group, a community that inspires countless individuals to break free from their comfort zones and discover the wonders of nature.



This group is from Khon Kaen. Another girl is from Chonburi, but she met her friends in Khon Kaen first.



Both individuals originated from Bangkok and arrived at 3:00 AM. Unable to find transportation, they hired a skylab for 120 baht to reach the foot of the mountain. (Is this phrasing correct? Awaiting confirmation from experts.)


One thing the owner of this post wants to tell their friends who have come to read it is that one of the most difficult things we can do, but also the easiest to achieve for ourselves, is to take a chance. Try to give yourself the opportunity to experience many things that you have never encountered before. Put your fear in your pocket and bring out your cautious heart to appreciate the beauty that nature has created for us. However, if you find yourself waiting for friends, scheduling time that doesn't match up, or simply needing someone to travel with, try following this post. You'll find that there are travel companions waiting for you at your destination as well.



The last picture, really. Thank you to my fellow travelers (some) for the gifts. Thank you for making us smile wider than before. . . . Carrots from Phu Thap Boek ++


In conclusion, let's summarize the essential and memorable expenses.


286 Baht for a bus from Bangkok (Phet Prasert) to Lom Sak.

The Petprasert tour bus from Lom Kao to Bangkok costs 315 baht. You can hail the bus on the side of the road. The bus goes to Lom Kao, but if you have already booked a bus to Lom Sak, you can get off at Lom Sak for 15 baht.

The fare to go up to Phu Thap Boek is 100 baht.

The tent rental fee is 750 baht, which is 375 baht per person when split between two people.

Stir-fried minced pork with basil and a fried egg costs 60 + 50 = 100 baht.

Japanese Crepe + Pepsi 50 Baht

Morning porridge + grilled egg 30+10 = 40 baht

Snacks to keep in your bag in Bangkok.

Total 1,400 baht.
