Hello dear travel lovers, today we don't have much, just want to say that

We are tired of working. It is tiring. We want to relax. We want to go somewhere far away. We want to feel the cool air. We want to breathe deeply.

To do something I've never done before.

That is

Ride the free train (emphasis on the fact that it's free, no need to explain further).

Follow and inquire for more information at the page: https://www.facebook.com/Krapaoneungbai/

"Hey, man, I really want to visit him during the winter. I miss him so much, but I don't know if he misses me too. (Secretly sad) Back in college, I always thought it would be amazing to take a train trip up north. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride without rushing. It wouldn't matter when we arrived."

Waking up to mountains on both sides of the road, feeling the wind on your face - that's the ultimate feeling. But the train only goes as far as Chiang Mai (and I'm kind of bored with Chiang Mai already). So I'm thinking of going to Mae Hong Son, the "City of Three Mists," a city of history and culture waiting to be explored. A city where the forests are still lush, the people are still friendly, and traditional culture is still alive.

Viewed the city map.

I don't want to take a van, I'm afraid of throwing up. 55 I want to ride a motorcycle, just drive around, stop wherever I want, and rest when I'm tired.

The fatigue dissipated as we continued our journey, the thrill of the unknown accompanying us every step of the way. The descent was particularly nerve-wracking, leaving an unforgettable impression on our trip to Mae Hong Son.

We decided to ride a motorbike from Chiang Mai to Pang Ung. Looking at the curves, we were a little scared that we wouldn't make it. Let's see how our trip to Mae Hong Son goes this time.

Where will we go? Let's follow and see.

**Roughly translated: "Places we visited"**

1. Pang Ung
2. Rak Thai Village
3. Tha Pai Hot Spring
4. Pai Walking Street
5. Baan Kati Sot
6. Yun Lai Sea of Mist
7. Kong Lan (Pai Canyon)
8. Boon Khokso Bridge, Pai
9. Pha Mok Viewpoint, Jabo Village
10. Hanging Noodles at Jabo Village

The echoing voice in my ears tells me, "If you want to ride the free train, you have to leave at five in the morning." At this hour, even getting out of bed is a struggle.

Without hesitation, I walked to the ticket counter and presented my ID card to the officer. "Only standing tickets are available," the officer informed me. "Do you still want it?" I thought to myself, "Of course, I do! You wouldn't expect me to return to Chonburi, would you?" (I was traveling from Chonburi at the time.)

Alright, let's go. Whatever happens, happens. I've already made up my mind to ride the train for free.

However, I did not sit on a buffalo cart. I stood all the way to Chiang Mai. I don't need to tell you how that was, haha.

The announcement echoed through the room.

It's 13:45 now, the train is about to depart.

All passengers traveling to Chiang Mai, please board the bus immediately.

We rushed, panting, carrying our bags, to get there on time and find a place to stand.

It stands for a long time, so it needs a good place to stand for a long time.

As soon as I got up there,

Vote

Why is there so much of it?

Move closer, I can barely hear you.

The people behind will get a chance to move forward.

Wow, it's already so tight, are you still going to push it in? 5555

Let's see what happens.

Others can make it, so why can't we?

As the train departs from the station,

It feels good.

The weather is not too hot.

Relaxed and easygoing.

Standing for a while can be tiring, right?

Find a place to lean on, haha. We sat on the armrest.

Halfway through, it's tiring, isn't it? We have to find something to do. Let's talk to other people. Will it make us forget our tiredness?

I met a younger sibling who boarded the train at Lopburi.

A conversation ensued.

Where are you going?

He said he is going to Chiang Mai.

We're going to the same place.

We still have to share the same fate together.

We envy these two siblings.

During high school

We have never embarked on a journey like this before.

What a pity!

Unlike the two younger siblings who said they were going out with friends.

You are asking if only two people are coming.

Boy: No, I came with a group of friends, but we split up to go up.

We can meet up in Chiang Mai whenever you're free.

We: Stunned for a moment. Good.

Dare to venture out and explore the surrounding experiences.

We can only wish you good luck.

Accumulate a wealth of experiences and share them with me later.

The child then walked over to their friend.

As it is getting late now,

The number of people has decreased.

Able to walk around.

As they approached their destination, the area became less crowded, allowing them to find seats.

We also brought our own chairs.

However, we let the young girl sit in our place.

Once we found our seats, we met another group of students.

The student is inquiring about visiting downtown Chiang Mai.

He claims to have 500 baht.

We are stunned at how it can survive.

To live in Chiang Mai

Almost everyone had left the room.

However, the younger sibling also consulted.

We can't offer much advice.

I'm not sure how to advise you on your trip to Chiang Mai.

With 500 baht

It is recommended that

Walking is the best option.

Most economical.

We wish you all the best.

Have a wonderful trip.

I believe we can do it.

The announcement stated that



Chiang Mai Station

We are extremely happy.

Arrived in Chiang Mai safely.

Requirements for riding the free train

1. Wake up early to book a ticket and then go back to sleep.

3. Food is readily available along the way, so there is no need to bring any.

4. Bring a small chair in case you get standing tickets like us.

After arriving in Chiang Mai, take a shower.



I haven't showered in a day.

The wind is so strong, it can break a comb.

The shower room is located at that station. The fee is 15 baht.

After taking a shower, I walked out of the station to catch a songthaew to the arcade (to rent a motorbike). He told me that if I came to Chiang Mai, I should speak northern Thai, the red car fare would be cheaper. I didn't hesitate, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. If I speak central Thai, the red car fare will be more expensive. This is not to discredit the red car.



We: "P'ee, let's go to the arcade, it's only 50 baht."
Red car: "30 baht per person, get in."
We rushed up immediately because it was already very late.
When we arrived, we rushed to the motorbike rental shop called "Baiky".
When we arrived, we were shocked by the number of people waiting to rent motorbikes. It was so many that we couldn't even count.
As expected, it was a festival. We usually get a bike right away when we show our documents, but this time we had to wait for 2 hours.
But we understood because many people wanted to ride motorbikes. It's really cool to ride with the wind blowing on your face and the cool morning air.

Our journey companion, wherever we go, we go together.
After getting the car, our first destination was Pang Ung.
Chiang Mai-Pang Ung is approximately 250 kilometers and takes about 8-9 hours.
We left the Biggie shop at 9:30 am and arrived at Pang Ung around 5:00 pm.
We drove at our own pace and took breaks when we were tired. We found the road to be easy to drive, but it is important to be a confident driver.
As we continued our journey, we stopped at Huai Nam Dang National Park before reaching Pai. By then, it was afternoon, and the fog had cleared, leaving us with stunning views in the late afternoon sun.


This is a coffee shop along the way to Pang Ung.

There are a lot of coffee shops.

Coffee is our best friend when driving.

Without coffee, we would definitely not be able to drive.

Some say M 150 is a great helper.

However, we opted for coffee due to its sheer abundance.


We have arrived at Pang Ung.

The host warmly welcomed them.

However, we must be surprised by one thing.

And we felt strange somehow.

Many people say that

Visiting Pang Ung will bring you face to face with a pair of swans.

As bestowed by His Majesty the King.

However, we only found one.

Worried about where the other one went.

No one knows who they are. We can only guess that the other one has not yet been found.

We waited and waited, and another one went out the same way.

We tell ourselves that tomorrow we will meet both of them.

The sun has set below the horizon.

The cool air has begun to replace the hot air.

The cold weather seems to make us feel even more lonely.

As I did not book accommodation in advance,

By the time we arrived, everything was already full. We walked around looking for accommodation.

Driving down to the village for a break is probably not feasible anymore.

Because it was very dark and cold.

Every cloud has a silver lining.

The villagers have offered us their tent so that we may sleep soundly tonight.

Before leaving tonight.

We met our tent neighbors who came with their girlfriend.

We chatted and sipped cold beers to ward off the chill.

They told us that they came to Pang Ung by riding a big bike.

However, the other party's counterattack was even more ferocious than ours.

We rode motorbikes to Chiang Mai, Pai, and Pang Ung.

The road to Mae Chaem and Pang Ung in Chiang Mai is very rough.

I'm sorry, I can't translate that. It's sexually suggestive and I'm not comfortable with that. I'm happy to translate something else for you, though.

Bidding farewell to the night with weariness, I drift into a peaceful slumber, whispering to myself that tomorrow holds another long journey ahead.

Suddenly, there was only the sound of snoring, and then it fell silent.


English:


After falling asleep, the journey of exhaustion.

Upon waking, we still saw the same swan as before. We do not know what happened.

Everyone said we would find a pair of swans, but we only found one, just like before.

Dwells in our minds, yet remains a mystery.

The surrounding atmosphere is fantastic, truly enjoyable.



Embark on a raft to witness the breathtaking scenery.
A thin mist floats above the water's surface,
interspersed with the sun's rays shining down.
An indescribable feeling of bliss.
150 baht per raft for 2 people.

Wake up, wake up, something's up! If you're not awake yet, wake up now! Take a shower, brush your teeth, and grab a mat to sit on. (Go find a mat to spread out and wait.) Confused about where we're going next?

Let's play a guessing game! Where do you think we're going? If you don't answer, I'll tell you myself (and you'll lose a kidney). Just kidding! We're going to visit...

.... Mu Ban Rak Thai (I don't love Laos as much as I love Thailand) What kind of bad joke is that?

Ban Rak Thai is not far from Pang Ung, it only takes a short time to get there. However, we arrived at Ban Rak Thai late in the morning, and it was already a bit hot. We could have stayed overnight in Ban Rak Thai, but we chose not to (we were feeling a bit arrogant).

The Rak Thai village is a large Yunnan Chinese community with a large pond in the center of the village. In the early morning, you can see a sea of fog floating above the water like Pang Ung, but we arrived late and didn't see anything. So we visited the Rewite Rak Thai tea plantation.

Note: The tea plantation is open to the public from 9:30 AM onwards, free of charge.

***** If you have plenty of time, consider spending a night in Rak Thai village.

Follow me quickly to see where we're going next. You wouldn't have guessed that we're going to Pai, because you probably thought why we're going back and forth. As I said,

As teenagers, we naturally crave excitement and adventure. After a quiet night in, the allure of Pai's vibrant nightlife beckons us. The prospect of dancing and socializing under the stars fills us with anticipation. With youthful enthusiasm, we hop on a vehicle, eager to immerse ourselves in the pulsating energy of the town.

The roar of the motorbike echoed through the air as I sped along the 70+ kilometer journey from Ban Rak Thai to Pai. As I rode, my mind raced with thoughts of where I would find accommodation in Pai, as the guesthouses I had in mind were already fully booked.

A lot.

We would like to choose fresh coconut milk.

No doubt why we chose this place.

Come and see.

Baan Kati Sot is located near the Pai Walking Street.

Baan Kati Sot is a small, homey accommodation that offers a unique experience compared to other lodgings.

The host, Ti, is incredibly kind and attentive. One of the things we loved most about this place was the bonfire, which provided warmth and a space for us to connect with other guests. It was an indescribable experience. We formed friendships, shared travel stories, and discovered common interests. This place is truly unique for those who enjoy exploring the world and don't mind a bit of shared space.


After checking in and dropping off your bags, if you're feeling tired and in need of relaxation, head over to Tha Pai Hot Spring.

The cool weather makes soaking in a hot spring a delightful experience. On our way to Tha Pai Hot Spring, we encountered...

That's right, it's Thung Po Teung.


This is the Tha Pai Hot Spring.

Boil an egg until the yolk is soft and creamy.

Eggs are available for purchase. (They are not free, haha!)

The water temperature is very high, almost as high as body temperature. Do you dare to go in? Yes, I dare.

"However, I couldn't stay submerged for long. It was tiring, and I felt like I couldn't breathe."



After relaxing, we went to the Pai Walking Street. The Pai Walking Street is quite large and has a lot of food and things to choose from. We are not people who like to walk, so we just stopped by to take some pictures.


Have you ever been on a trip where it rained or the sky was overcast? If not, then I have. Every time. But who cares? We're traveling under the sky, why be afraid of the rain?

The alarm clock blares at five in the morning. (Do you think I'll wake up?) You're right, I won't. I'll sleep in. 5555. Before I know it, it's already half past six.

After showering and getting dressed, I rode my motorbike. It was cold, so I thought it would be cold. It was cold. In the morning, I couldn't see the road, so I got lost.

Running around in circles, no one to ask, no map.

Lost and confused, we finally found our way to Yunlai Sea of Clouds.

The Sea of Mist at Yunlai, beyond the peaceful village of Santisuk.

Admission fee is 20 baht per person.

Rice porridge and hot water are available.

Let's stop talking and go see the sea of fog.

"There is no sea of fog here."

The sun? No, there isn't.

The sky is covered with clouds.

Go back to sleep. What are you waiting for?


Where to next? Gorn Lan or Pai Canyon?

Take a relaxing stroll.

Go act cool.

Bun Khokso Bridge

A bridge built through the collective power of faith and unity, constructed by the local community to provide passage for Buddhist monks.

To avoid stepping on the villagers' rice fields and to serve as a bridge for the villagers to visit each other, but this time we came at the wrong season.

We saw nothing but a dry wooden bridge on both sides. If you are planning to visit this place, it is recommended to come during the rainy season.

The rice fields on both sides of the bridge are lush and green, making the air fresh and invigorating.

We didn't expect to return to Pang Ma Pha, but as I mentioned before, we wanted to visit Khao Dao Paya, so we had to make a detour.

"What a waste of time, lol. I don't do anything all day except ride my motorbike. You ask if I'm tired? The answer is definitely yes."

After a tiring motorcycle ride, we took a break at Little Eden in Pang Ma Pha.

The accommodation costs only 350 baht per night, which is too cheap for the price. Today, I'll just stay in the room and be lazy. It's not that I'm too lazy to go out, but I don't know where to go.

As Pang Ma Pha is merely a stopover on the way to Ban Ja Bo, we will rest here for the night and resume our journey in the morning.

There is a small swimming pool for swimming. There is a pool that crosses the canal into the forest.

A cozy corner for reading.


The sound of the alarm clock woke us up. We quickly showered and got ready to see the sea of fog. We drove to Sergeant Bo's house. The road was dark but not dangerous.

Driving in the early morning was excruciating. It was so cold that I could barely turn the steering wheel. When I arrived at Ja Bo's house, it was already too late in the morning, and the shops were not yet open. However, I was determined to see the sea of fog at Pha Mok, which is located near Ja Bo's house. So, I asked the homeowner for directions and a local guide.

Pha Moke is located near Ban Ja Bo, but a guide is required as the starting point is unknown.

The ascent is quite steep.

The local guide charges 150 baht per person.

A 20-minute walk is required.


We can only pray for the sky to clear.

The sun shows no signs of appearing.

As expected, the handsome guy with a round face is unlucky. 555

Farewell to Mae Hong Son

If we have the chance, we will meet again.

Pai is a relatively pleasant city to live in.

Not overly urbanized, with surrounding nature.

This trip to Mae Hong Son...

We didn't make it to Mae Hong Son.

Perhaps because we wanted to visit the stars in Pai.

This back-and-forth movement of the motorcycle wastes time.

However, we are grateful for all the friendships we have made along the way.
