Hello!

On December 16th and 17th, I went on a trip to Phu Chi Fa with my university friends. It was a very cold time in Chiang Rai province. We traveled by renting a songthaew from the front of the university. For accommodation, we chose to sleep in tents so that we could build a bonfire and grill food to eat. Let's take a look at the faces of all 7 of us who shared this fate. I'm in the front, and my face is swollen. 3/4 of the picture is my face, haha.

Food and Supplies

Food: There are restaurants near the accommodation that sell "moo kata" (Thai BBQ) for 500 baht per set. In the evenings, vendors will also walk around selling snacks such as sweet potatoes, corn, and raw potatoes for grilling, as well as various types of meatballs. It is recommended to bring your own food, especially if you arrive late, as there are no shops open late at night. The "moo kata" may not be enough to fill you up, as the stove may not be hot enough for young people's appetites. The dipping sauce is also… well, let's just say that eating with friends makes it more enjoyable. You can overlook this part!

Fuel: You need to purchase fuel separately, which costs 50 baht per bundle. You can buy it from the accommodation, which also provides stoves and iron grills for grilling. Alternatively, you can bring everything from home and cook your own food. You can also bring your own tables and chairs, making it feel like a family picnic.

2:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 16th, we gathered at Hom Muk and waited for Uncle Chai to pick us up. We brought our own blankets in case it got too cold to sleep.

All the supplies are loaded onto the truck. We're ready to roll now!

Uncle Chai drove steadily at a moderate pace. He said that leaving at this time was relaxing and that we would comfortably reach the sunset. We had informed Uncle Chai in advance to stop by a 7-Eleven as we would surely be hungry. For this meal, we relied on 7-Eleven.

The car is now driving uphill on a steep incline after we have all finished recharging. The natural scenery on both sides of the road is easy on the eyes and can be enjoyed at a leisurely pace.

Hold on tight, little one.

16:40 pm. We arrived at the accommodation and it seems we were the last group to arrive. The owner distributed food coupons and explained the rules, including no noise after 10 pm.


Everyone is cooking and helping to unload the supplies. Let's prepare dinner together. The men can go buy firewood and start a fire. The rest of us can order a barbecue and rent some extra mats for 50 baht. I'm hungry, let's go eat...



While eating, a group of children from the hill tribe stopped by and invited us to take photos with them. They were adorable, talented dancers, confident, and talkative. If you take photos with them, please remember to give them a small tip as a token of appreciation.


It is now 6 pm, and the sun is about to set. The sky is a beautiful gradient of colors, from dark to light, contrasting with the green of the mountains.



This is how people in relationships feel. ❤

The barbecue pork is gone, so let's grill some meatballs, sausages, sweet potatoes, and corn instead. It's a cold night, so let's sit around the bonfire, sip some beer, listen to music, chat with friends, and lie down to watch the stars in the sky. That's all it takes to be truly happy, don't you think? : )


Around 11 p.m., I washed my face, brushed my teeth, and prepared to go to bed. It was so cold that I forgot to take a shower. Hehe. But Sao intends to come out and take pictures of the stars in the sky around midnight.

The real thing is so beautiful, so beautiful! Who can resist it? I can sit and watch the stars for a long time. I saw a shooting star tonight. At first, I went out to take pictures alone, and then my friends joined in. Now, the wind outside is very strong, and it shakes to my core.

After taking photos to their heart's content, they dispersed to go to sleep.

Day two, 4:30 am, the songthaew picked us up to go to the national park. The round-trip fare was 60 baht per person. We woke up at 3:50 am to wash our faces and brush our teeth. The wind outside was blowing very hard, and our hands and feet were shaking. Everyone was ready, the car was ready, let's go!! It's cold, let's hug each other to keep warm.

An army marches on its stomach. Let's grab a bite to eat first. We have coffee, Ovaltine, instant noodles, grilled eggs, boiled eggs, and grilled pork.

The following is a translation of the provided text from Thai to English:

Unfortunately for me and my three friends, we bought some grilled pork to eat, but it was spoiled. The first bite was sour! We were so upset. We were already so hungry and then this happened. We had to buy some instant noodles to cheer ourselves up.

The provided text is in Thai and translates to the following in English:

We're full now, so we're ready to go! There are flashlights for sale before the climb if you didn't bring your own. It's recommended to buy one because the path is still dark. If you choose to climb before it's light, it's better to save your phone battery for taking pictures at the top.

The steep climb left us drenched in sweat. The path was rocky in some sections, so please tread carefully. As dawn approached, we secured a prime spot with a breathtaking view to set up our cameras.

The sea of mist is starting to become visible. Oh, it's beautiful!

The sky is bright.

Take a picture with my girlfriend.

Some young men

"Can I take a picture with you, friend?"

Group photos.


The view stretches out to a long line of mountains.

Upon seeing the photo below, we decided to descend. There were two possible routes, but we opted for the shorter, albeit steeper, option, which involved a dirt staircase.

The world doesn't remember ordinary descents. A friend ahead warned me to be careful because it was slippery. Before my friend could finish speaking, I slipped and left a mark on Phu Chi Fa. We each slipped, but it didn't hurt that much. It was worth it for the view we got.

Clouds drifted past us, and it felt amazing! The viewpoint is located below the lion's head, where you can take photos comfortably.


Exhausted from the climb, our stomachs growled. We decided to descend and have lunch. As dawn broke, we could finally appreciate the breathtaking views from the summit.

For breakfast, we opted for rice porridge, which was decent. Boiled eggs were available for an additional 10 baht per egg.

After finishing breakfast, I went back to sleep for a while. I also charged the camera battery. The view from inside the tent is like this.

"Indulge in the freshest strawberries straight from the farm."

On the way back, we agreed to stop by the Pink Buffalo Cafe. At first, we thought it would mainly sell desserts, but when we actually went in, we found that it also served food. In fact, it mainly focuses on savory dishes, with a wide variety of menu items at affordable prices.

Our goal was to eat dessert, so we chose Bingsu strawberry and Bingsu ore. The taste was good.

The Pink Buffalo Cafe has some cute photo spots that kids will probably enjoy. My friend Yun took a few photos there, and she seemed to have a great time.

The translation of "

ยังไม่หมดแค่นี้แน่นอน

" is:

"

This is definitely not the end.

"

Neither side is willing to give in.

This concludes our trip. Thank you for reading this far. Where will I travel to next? Please stay tuned. : )
