Seeking respite from the weariness of work, a two-day, one-night escape to a tranquil haven beckoned. "Khao Khai Nui" in Phang Nga, a southern sea of mist, emerged as the ideal destination. Though a previous visit had not yielded the full spectacle of the mist-laden landscape, the allure of witnessing its ethereal beauty remained undimmed. The relentless pursuit of this southern seascape's misty embrace fueled the determination to return. Since its inauguration as a new tourist attraction in Phang Nga, years had passed, promising fresh experiences and discoveries. "Khao Khai Nui" and "Khao Na Yak" awaited, beckoning with the promise of an unforgettable adventure.

DAY 1

Upon arrival, we departed Phuket and drove directly towards Khao Lak. Our destination was Ban Fai Tha in Thung Maphrao sub-district. Reaching Khai Nui requires a four-wheel drive vehicle due to the unpaved road conditions. If you are unfamiliar with the route, it is advisable to book a transfer service through your accommodation. Upon reaching Ban Fai Tha village, we located the designated parking area and boarded the accommodation's transport. We had previously booked our stay at "Baan Nai Maok Khao Khai Nui" with Mr. Bang Lek (phone number: 089-5931432).

This afternoon, it rained. I thought to myself that the fog must be beautiful tomorrow morning. Then, we took a four-wheel drive with Bang up to Khai Nui Mountain.

Given the steep incline, it would be extremely difficult for a small car to ascend.

It takes no more than 15 minutes to reach the destination. This will be the top of Khai Nui Hill.

We have arrived at "Khai Nui Mountain". The air up here is fantastic! Khai Nui Mountain boasts five wonders: 1. Sunrise, 2. Sunset, 3. Sea of mist, 4. Andaman Sea, and 5. Mountain ranges.

After enjoying the view from the top, we walked down to our accommodation, Baan Nai Maok Homestay, located on the eastern side. As the sky was already dark, we missed the opportunity to witness the sunset over the Andaman Sea.

A short walk down the path leads to a house shrouded in mist. A large house stands prominently, accompanied by two smaller structures resembling cottages.

The spacious backyard serves as a gathering place for families and friends to enjoy barbeque parties. The venue provides all necessary equipment.

A small hut, our accommodation for tonight. Just seeing it fills me with joy.

The room is equipped with a small bed, pillows, blankets, a fan, and electrical outlets for charging phones and cameras. However, it's important to note that the accommodation uses a generator, so electricity is only available from approximately 6:00 PM to midnight.

After packing your belongings, head up to the community restaurant. Don't worry about going hungry on Khai Nui Mountain, as there is now food available from the local community. However, you will need to order in advance.

After the rain stops, there will be a mist to touch, the air is very good.

The local food has arrived. Today's menu features a variety of delicious dishes, including sour curry, stir-fried squid with garlic, turmeric-fried fish, and omelets. The food looks incredibly appetizing.

This meal may cost hundreds of baht, but the view is worth millions. Enjoying lunch amidst the gentle mist, with the first stars beginning to appear. On clear nights, the sky is filled with even more stars.

After a satisfying meal, we relaxed in the tranquil atmosphere, a rare find in the bustling city. As the sun began to set, we made our way back to our humble cottage.

DAY 2 "Sea of Mist"

I was so excited last night wondering if there would be fog this morning like I saw on the pages.

The anticipation kept me from sleeping soundly, but as soon as I saw a glimmer of light, I opened the door and was greeted by a breathtaking sea of fog. My heart soared with joy.

Seeing this, I quickly changed my clothes and went outside. I walked upstairs to the spot where I had watched the sunset the previous day. It was truly magnificent.

After a while, the wind started to blow, causing the mist to disperse and flow westward. I then walked down to the front of the room, fearing that the mist would disappear.

The house is truly in the mist, as I walked up to it, the mist filled the entire front yard.

Lost track of time capturing the breathtaking sea of mist. So glad to have witnessed this incredible sight.

This time, the fog came to show off in full force, but unfortunately the sunrise was lost due to the slightly overcast sky.

It was time to move on to the next location, but we stopped for breakfast at a local restaurant first because we had been so busy taking pictures that we had forgotten to eat. The team leaders called us over to eat because they had already prepared breakfast for us.

This place offers hot coffee and tea in the morning, along with breakfast for guests who have booked in advance. Today, due to the low number of guests, I was treated to a delicious chicken biryani.

DAY 2 "Khao Na Yak Giant's Face Sea"

The next trip from Khai Nui Mountain to a hidden beach in Hat Thap Thim-Khao Lam Pi National Park was the result of a conversation with Bang Lhe about other interesting places to visit. After descending from Khai Nui Mountain, Bang suggested "Khao Na Yak" and emphasized its beauty. I had heard of Khao Na Yak before and had seen some tour companies offering programs there, but I hadn't seen much promotion lately. So, we agreed with Bang to continue to Khao Na Yak.

There are two ways to reach Khao Na Yak:

1. By car or motorcycle: From Hat Thap Lamu, Thap Lamu District, Phang Nga Province, enter the Hat Thap Lamu National Park with an experienced guide.
2. By boat: Take a local tour boat.

For this trip, we opted for the same tour guide service as before, Bang Lek. The journey from Hat Thap Lamu, Thap Lamu District, Phang Nga Province, to the Hat Thap Lamu National Park incurs a park entrance fee of 20 baht per person.

The Path to Khao Yai Beach

The journey from the park to Khao Yai Beach begins on a short stretch of concrete road. This soon gives way to a sandy track winding through a forest of casuarina trees. As the concrete disappears, the path transforms into a white, sandy trail. This terrain is unsuitable for small cars or sedans, as they risk getting stuck in the soft sand.

**Both sides of the road will be full of acacia trees.**

After passing through that section of the road, you will encounter a dry grassland with clusters of screw pine trees, resembling the savannas of Africa.

Despite the winding roads that caused some to feel carsick, the group arrived at their destination: "Giant's Face Mountain."

The sight of the crystal-clear azure sea and the fine sand stretching as far as the eye can see finally alleviated the car sickness.

The crystal-clear seawater allows for an unobstructed view of the white sand below, even when standing on the rocky outcrop.

The Giant's Face: A Coastal Gem in Phang Nga

Nestled on the shores of Hat Thap Lamu, within the jurisdiction of Khao Lam Pi - Hat Thap Lamu National Park in Phang Nga province, lies the captivating Giant's Face. This natural wonder stands in close proximity to Ban Tha Din Daeng, a village bordering the sea and boasting one of the most extensive mangrove forests in the province. The Giant's Face overlooks a pristine coastline stretching over 13 kilometers, offering a breathtaking panorama of nature's artistry.

A tranquil bay with fine white sand and turquoise waters. The beach near Khao Na Yak boasts clear waters, colorful rocks with unique shapes, and stunning views of the seabed.

The Right Side: A Tapestry of Stone

The right side of the beach is adorned with a variety of metamorphic rocks, including slate and others etched with flowing patterns and contrasting colors by the relentless caress of water. Towering rock formations offer a breathtaking vantage point to admire the panoramic beauty of the beach and the vast expanse of the sea. The captivating patterns and unique hues of the rocks create a mesmerizing backdrop, perfect for capturing unforgettable photographs.

As we continued walking, a small beach with fine white sand appeared on our right. The beach was enclosed by a mountain ridge, resembling a hall. If a fence were to be erected between the beach and the sea, it would be impossible to escape, creating a tranquil and secluded bay with fine white sand and turquoise water.

Continuing on to the second courtyard or room, this area features a cluster of sea almond trees providing shade for relaxation.

The second bay, if you walk to the far right-hand side, is a series of rocky outcrops that are said to resemble a giant's face when viewed from the sea.

The rocky shores teem with diverse shellfish clinging to the surface, while crabs and fish inhabit the crevices. This pristine environment showcases the abundance of marine life.

Walking back to the first beach, we were greeted by a breathtaking view of the endless coastline and crystal-clear water. The irresistible urge to take a dip in the ocean was overwhelming. After all, who could resist the allure of such a pristine beach? So, we decided to indulge in the refreshing embrace of the sea.

Dive into the clear water and swim. The seawater here is not sticky at all, and it doesn't sting your eyes as much.

This photo was taken underwater, showcasing the crystal-clear seawater and the incredibly fine, white sand.

After enjoying the water to our heart's content, it was time to head back. Khao Na Yak does not have fresh water for showering, but you can shower at the park instead. The bathrooms here are very clean, and after visiting many park bathrooms, I was particularly impressed with this one. For this trip, even just a 2-day, 1-night weekend getaway was enough to recharge my batteries and get me ready to work again. Leaving the hustle and bustle of the city behind and finding a nearby place to relax and reconnect with nature was just what I needed. In just two days, I was able to experience both the mist-shrouded mountains and the beautiful hidden beaches of Phang Nga.
