13:45 Meet at Hua Lamphong Station. This trip will be for 3 people on the express train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai (free). (The train departs at 14:00) The time is still flexible.
Upon finding my seat, the first problem arose. A woman was already sitting in it. I was slightly confused. It's important to note that with free tickets, passengers can board directly. However, those without free tickets must stand or take available seats. Since I had a ticket, I politely asserted my right to the seat. The woman kindly moved without any fuss.
The first problem has just been resolved. The second problem followed closely behind. Even the glass window cannot be opened. I feel like crying. I reported it to the staff, but they still couldn't open it. So, I had to go with the flow. ***You have to understand that the free train has a fan. It's like not having one. When the train stops at the station, it's very, very hot. But I have to accept it and sit like this all the way to Chiang Mai.
This meal.
We skipped the joy of the train ride, sitting all day and night. Because if we were to tell the story, it would be about the food that was sold all the time. Scheduled to arrive in Chiang Mai at 04.05. (The train arrived at 04.30). Time is forgiving.
This is not me. 555+

(04:40 AM) Upon descending, you will find the platform and restaurants on your right, with restrooms located to the side. The service fee is 3 baht, with separate facilities for men and women. The restrooms are considered to be moderately clean. ...
After finishing personal matters, it was time to negotiate with the various bus drivers who approached us with inquiries. It's a good idea to ask several people for prices in order to bargain. You'll discover that there are genuinely low prices. We needed to transfer to the Chang Phuak Bus Terminal from the train station. Many people offered prices at that time. We had to inquire and inquire until we received the lowest price. We obtained a price of 30 baht per person, totaling 90 baht, for a ride with a view of the city. We arrived at the Chang Phuak Bus Terminal. We then went straight to purchase tickets, informing them that we were going to Fang. The ticket price was 80 baht per person. We were able to secure a 6:00 a.m. bus (the bus departed precisely on time). Importantly, sit in your assigned seat. The seat number will be printed on the back of the ticket. There is a 7-Eleven at the bus terminal where you can purchase water and food to keep you going.

After a long 3.30-hour drive, we finally arrived at the parking lot. As usual, we were greeted by many people asking where we were going. We've encountered this situation before, so we're starting to get used to it. 555 Luckily, park rangers were dropping off foreign tourists at the bus station. Our beautiful sisters immediately took action. 5555. We asked for a ride with them. We used all our charm (just kidding). But the rangers kindly let us join them. (Free of charge).
The staff at the Uthayan were incredibly kind and allowed us to enter for free. There was no entrance fee for the Uthayan. We proceeded to the customer service point, where we were able to relax and take a shower (free of charge). There were also cafes and restaurants with prices comparable to those in the city. During our remaining free time, we took pictures with the hot springs.
For vehicles going up to the mountain, the park provides a shuttle service. Round trip. 1800฿ Limited to 8 people. But we came in a group of three. So we split the cost three ways. (The car fee is paid on the way down) We went up in the afternoon.
The trail to the campsite is a steep, concrete and gravel path that takes over an hour to hike. We arrived in the late afternoon, just as the sun was setting. We quickly set up our tent before it got dark.
The campsite provides designated areas with stoves and grills for cooking. Equipment rentals are available, including tents, pillows, sleeping mats, and other necessities. The restrooms are clean and plentiful, although they require a short walk from the campsite.
Late at night, we went stargazing. It was too late to do anything else but take pictures of the stars, drink beer, and chat about various things. There were three of us on this trip, and we all exclaimed in awe. Two more tourists arrived, bringing the total to five. It was a very small group, but that was a good thing because it was less chaotic.

It's time to get tired. We have to wake up at 3:30 AM to hike up to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise at 4:00 AM. During this time, we prepare our bodies because the weather will be very cold. Most importantly, I recommend bringing hiking shoes, not sneakers. From the campsite, we started at 4:15 AM and reached the top at 5:15 AM, taking 1 hour to walk, which is very fast. It might be because there were few people. There are still some paths left. Some are steep.... When we reached the top, we found a long place to lie down because the sun rises after 7:00 AM. We don't understand why the officers brought us up so early. I found a place to lie down and wait because the weather was very cold. The officers were sleeping.... But the two girls were taking big pictures. The first light will come around 6:00 AM. The temperature on February 24, 2017, was 9 degrees Celsius. And we took pictures for a long time. After we finished taking pictures, it was time to go down because we had a trip to Chiang Mai and didn't want to miss the bus. The downhill run is here.

It's time to descend. We started our descent at 7:15 AM. We joked among ourselves that it would take 30 minutes to get down. 555+. However, our fellow trippers suggested 40 minutes. So, we started our descent (running). As we descended, we began to encounter beautiful scenery. Flowers lined the path, and the light was perfect. However, we didn't take many photos because we had to hurry down. This trip was so much fun! 555. ... After a few minutes, we reached the campsite at 7:54 AM. Wow. Did it really only take that long? Just 39 minutes. Crazy. The uphill distance was approximately 3.5 kilometers. ... Upon arrival, we paid the guide fee of 300฿, which we split three ways, making it 100฿ per person.
Before I continue, I need to explain why we had to make good time. I (the writer) was in Pattaya and had booked a return ticket for 6:30 PM. However, I still wanted to visit the Thang Chang Cafe for one night. So, I had to spend one night in Chiang Mai. And I had to rush to change my ticket at the Arkhet 3 bus station before 3 hours before the departure time.
We woke up and quickly showered and packed up the tent. We had to be ready by 9:00 AM, which was crazy. The three of us divided the tasks: one person showered, one person packed our belongings, and one person packed up the tent. The car that was supposed to pick us up arrived right at 8:00 AM, as scheduled. The driver was very kind and helped us pack up the tent. We left the campsite at 9:00 AM and arrived at the Fang Bus Terminal around 10:02 AM. We forgot to tell the driver that we were in a hurry, so he drove slowly and leisurely. When we got off the car, we rushed to buy tickets to Chiang Mai. The next bus was at 10:20 AM. While we were waiting, we had lunch at the fresh market there. (Important) Don't forget to pay the driver 1800฿. We split it three ways, so it was 600฿ each. We got on the bus and slept the whole way. That's the end of the trip. I won't continue with the story of our trip to Chiang Mai because it would be too long.
