The dish is almost ready. It will be edible soon. The human body is not a pig or a chicken. The temperature is close to 100 degrees now.

It's scorching hot, unbearably hot. Hot... It's not just the physical heat that's unbearable, but the longing for the cold winter that's driving me crazy. It's simply unbearable.

Seeking a nearby escape from the Bangkok heat, I craved a cool retreat, ideally with mist and refreshing water. As I scrolled through Facebook, a post from a friend caught my eye: "Escape the heat and join me in Phetchaburi!"

This post reminded me that Phetchaburi has a hidden gem: Pha Nen Thung, a viewpoint for admiring the sea of mist during the hot season. Now that I know, I can't wait to prepare my car, gather my friends, and embark on this adventure!

Beautiful butterflies have emerged, delighting tourists with their flight.

The sea of fog is also there.

The water is cool and you can play all day long. It perfectly meets the requirements. Let's go!

Phetchaburi is a province located within a two-hour drive from Bangkok. This trip consisted of two members, and as usual, we drove ourselves. This time, however, we had a new and improved pickup truck that offered a smoother driving experience and comfortable seating.

This car also has a Cruise Control function, making driving on trips even more comfortable.

Cruise Control: Effortless Driving for Long Journeys

Cruise control is an automated system that maintains a constant vehicle speed without requiring continuous pressure on the accelerator pedal. This feature enhances comfort and convenience, particularly during extended highway driving.

Key Features:

• Effortless Speed Control: By setting the desired speed using buttons on the steering wheel, drivers can maintain a constant pace without manually adjusting the accelerator.
• Flexibility: While maintaining the set speed, drivers can temporarily increase the vehicle's velocity by pressing the accelerator pedal. Upon releasing the pedal, the vehicle smoothly decelerates back to the preset speed.
• Convenience: Cruise control allows drivers to rest their right foot, reducing fatigue and improving comfort during long journeys.
• Steering Wheel Controls: Some vehicles offer the ability to adjust the set speed directly from the steering wheel, further enhancing convenience and driver control.

Benefits:

• Reduced Driver Fatigue: By eliminating the need to constantly maintain pressure on the accelerator, cruise control reduces fatigue and improves driver alertness, especially during extended periods of driving.
• Improved Fuel Efficiency: Maintaining a constant speed can optimize fuel consumption, leading to potential cost savings.
• Enhanced Safety: Cruise control can help drivers maintain a safe and consistent speed, reducing the risk of speeding or sudden acceleration.

Overall, cruise control is a valuable feature that enhances comfort, convenience, and safety for drivers, particularly during long-distance journeys.

Upon arrival, visitors must pay the park entrance fee.

Two people comfortably on one motorbike, the cost was 290 baht. After paying, we continued our journey for another 30 kilometers from the starting point.

Within minutes, we arrived at Ban Krang Camp, a popular spot to observe a diverse array of butterflies fluttering around in abundance.

If you visit during this time, you will see butterflies like this.

Access to Khao Pha Nen Thung is limited to two trips per day for safety reasons, as the road is narrow and steep in some sections. Only high-clearance pickup trucks are permitted to ascend the mountain. Passenger cars are not allowed beyond the Baan Krang campsite. Visitors who wish to reach the summit can rent a vehicle from the park office.

The road was a bumpy gravel path, quite challenging. Thankfully, we had the tough "Nissan Navara Black Edition" to tackle it. A regular car would have likely been stuck at the bottom.

Let's try taking a picture of the red car with some butterflies. Our red car is very handsome and looks cool with its full-body kit. It's even more handsome with the genuine factory stickers.

The scenery along the way was breathtaking. Did you see that little butterfly? It followed us all the way. 555.

Driving uphill and downhill, those who don't like automatic transmission can switch to manual and shift gears themselves. It's another kind of fun.

For those who enjoy challenging routes without being overly strenuous, this is the place to be. It offers a thrilling combination of forests, winding slopes, steep inclines, and streams.

After a grueling one-hour drive through dense forests and over rugged mountains, we finally arrived at our campsite at Khao Pha Nen Thung.

Upon arrival, we swiftly pitched our tent at the emergency shelter, as the weather appeared ominous, suggesting imminent rainfall. This precaution ensured a dry night's sleep, making this location the optimal choice for our campsite.

Let's provide a daily update to inform the world about our current activities and locations.

As predicted, rain began to fall, accompanied by a white mist that drifted into the tent.

After the rain stopped, we walked to the viewpoint to admire the mist.

Another beautiful day with refreshing mist.

The sky after the rain is always beautiful, just as they say.

The sun gradually set behind the intricate mountain range, signaling the time for us to return to our accommodation for the night.

Before going to bed tonight, we filled our stomachs with simple food from the park's shop, ensuring a peaceful sleep without the worry of hunger pangs in the middle of the night.

The mist continues to blow tonight, bringing coolness to the tourists who are camping here tonight. The first day is over, sweet dreams and good night.

Last night, it drizzled. When we woke up this morning, the rain had stopped. We thought to ourselves, "This is going to be amazing! The sea of fog this morning will be spectacular."

After waking up early and washing up, we quickly drove to another spot to see the sea of mist, which was about 6 kilometers away from our campsite.

As soon as I arrived, before I even got out of the car, I heard a voice next to me say, "Wow, can I get a picture? You look amazing."

One picture for driving costs this morning. 555

The sentence describes a beautiful sunrise illuminating the rear end of a Nissan Navara.

Here's the breakdown:

• ลงมาเสยบั้นท้ายงามๆ ของนิสสัน นาวารา: This translates to "Coming down to admire the beautiful rear end of the Nissan Navara."
• กับแสงเช้างาม ๆ: This translates to "with the beautiful morning light."

Therefore, the entire sentence translates to:

"Coming down to admire the beautiful rear end of the Nissan Navara with the beautiful morning light."

Gazing out from the viewpoint, one can see the intricate mountain ranges enveloped in fluffy white mist, offering a breathtakingly serene vista.

It's time to use the tripod. I would say the bed is spacious, but the interior is also big enough for our luggage for two. We can fit it comfortably without even needing the bed.

Translated:

After the tripod worked, we had a couple of pictures. We traveled together for one day. There were almost no couple pictures. My group pictures were the same.

Returning to the Pha Nen Thung viewpoint, where our tent site is located, there is still fog to be seen.

The mist gradually dissipated, fading away with the sunlight.

While walking to collect the tent, I caught a glimpse of this hornbill, which was close by and very large.

It kept flying and moving. At first, we thought it was trying to escape the person taking pictures. In the end, it went to catch a baby bird.

The original text is empty. There is nothing to translate.

Not only that, while walking, I heard a sound from the tree and saw a gibbon looking for food. Will I reach the restaurant today? I'm busy taking pictures.

Upon arrival, it immediately ordered food and devoured it without a word, presumably due to extreme hunger. After the meal, it was time for us to prepare for our return journey.

The road conditions are poor, so please drive carefully as it is a continuous uphill and downhill climb. It was definitely the right decision to bring a pickup truck.

A small stream flows through the area, attracting a large number of butterflies. Seeing our guide wade through the water, we confidently declared our own ability to do the same, eager to capture the scene with our cameras.

The butterflies then charged forward with full force, just like the ones in front of them. It is unknown how many butterflies died.

After descending from Khao Pha Nen Thung, we stopped at a coffee shop located at the intersection leading to the park headquarters.

The translation is:

After finishing their coffee, they didn't want to leave. The shop was cool and shady, with lots of trees. They wanted to stay for a long time.

We decided to stay a little longer and ordered some rice to eat. We were actually quite hungry and wanted to fuel up for our next destination, "Deep Stream".

After lunch, we had to return to pay the entrance fee for the Deep Stream. We paid at the Kaeng Krachan National Park office, informing the officer that we would be staying overnight at the Deep Stream.

Having purchased the tickets, we decided to take a few photos with Mario and the suspension bridge while we were there.

The car's excellent performance, smooth cornering, and sense of security inspired our driver to push the limits, resulting in a white-knuckle grip on the steering wheel, likely out of fear of missing their chance to enjoy the water.

The trail is similar to the one leading to Pha Nen Thung, with some sections requiring wading through forests, water, and mud.

However, a sedan will not be able to make it. It must be a pickup truck.

The roadside scenery was just as beautiful as anywhere else, making the journey take more than two hours due to frequent stops for photos.

Welcome to Pong Luek.

Wow, I didn't know there were places like this in Phetchaburi. Why haven't I heard of them before?

Crystal-clear water with children playing happily. It's tempting to join them, but first, let's head to our accommodation.

Drive straight until the end of the road. You will know you have arrived because there will be an official there to register your name and confirm that you have passed through the checkpoint below and arrived safely at the top, without disappearing along the way.

The camping area is not very large, but since there are no tourists, it can be considered spacious.

Our spacious pickup truck bed is only used for drying clothes. What a waste!

The long-awaited moment has arrived. The tents are set up, and it's time to cool off with a refreshing dip in the water.

The atmosphere is incredibly good, so good that I never thought it would be so close to Bangkok.

How refreshing it is to have cool water to soak in, with butterflies fluttering around us.

We had a wonderful time soaking in the crystal-clear, refreshing water. Before we knew it, the sky began to darken, and to our dismay, we realized we had nothing to eat for dinner. 555 If you plan to visit this place, be sure to bring your own provisions.

Realizing they had nothing to eat, they drove around the village. Luckily, they found a shop owned by an aunt that was still open.

"Auntie, do you have anything for me to eat? Auntie said she had this and that. I replied briefly, "Yes, please. Give me two servings, and make them generous, Auntie."

The picture speaks for itself. 555 Meatballs galore! We're full and ready for bed tonight.

Upon waking, we discovered the culprit who had been sleeping next to our tent and barking all night, preventing us from getting any sleep.

Awakening to the sound of flowing water, we couldn't resist taking a quick dip before heading back. The morning was teeming with butterflies.

After a relaxing soak, it's time for us to pack up and head out.

Secure your belongings and fasten your seatbelts for safety.

Ready to move forward at full speed.

The troops must march on their stomachs. The officers invited us to eat, and we were reluctant to refuse for fear of offending them. So we ate as instructed. We were truly grateful for their hospitality.

Snap a few cool photos at the suspension bridge before heading back.

A true gentleman, seeing children struggling to put on a chain, comes to their aid and says, "Let me help you." He then puts it on for them, looking even more handsome.

It must be admitted that this place is truly beautiful. More importantly, not many people know about it. We ourselves only recently learned about it, thanks to a recommendation from a friend who visited Phanaen Thung and told us about it.

Our fun time is over. It's time to drive the Nissan Navara Black Edition through the forest and mountains to the city. I must say that this car is up to the task.

The vehicle effortlessly navigates the stream, maintaining power with its ample engine and robust yet comfortable suspension. The driving experience is akin to ascending a hill in a sedan.

Grab a cup of coffee to shake off the drowsiness before heading back to the bustling world of Bangkok.

The Lawyer's Shop is a small coffee shop located on the way back to Bangkok. Just a short distance from Kaeng Krachan, it stands prominently on the left-hand side. The shop is charming and the atmosphere is delightful.

The long-distance cruise control is a very satisfying function.

Goodbye Phetchaburi, see you again next year for sure.
