Here is the translated text:

Hello, fellow travelers! It's been about 6-8 months since I last wrote a travel article for BackpackerGraphy. During this time, I continued to travel as usual, but without my camera. I wanted to fully immerse myself in nature and enjoy the experience without the distraction of taking photos. This allowed me to be more present and recharge my energy.

After a brief greeting, let's get down to business. This is my first time picking up a camera in six months, so the photos might seem a bit awkward, like someone just learning how to take pictures. Haha!

This time, I will take my friends to hike up "Doi Montha".

Doi Montha, also known as Doi Lon, may not be familiar to many travelers. However, I can assure you that once you experience it, you will fall in love with Doi Montha without realizing it.

On my trip with the "World of Travelers" page, a group of 10 members, we met at PTT Sanam Pao. Once everyone arrived, we set off for Tak province.

The ten team members who will be climbing Doi Mon.

We arrived at Taksin Maharat National Park around 3:00 AM. Upon arrival, we requested permission to occupy one of the park's vacant tents and took a short nap to regain our energy. At approximately 5:00 AM, we woke up to pack our bags, eat breakfast, and contact the park officials before taking a car to the village to meet our guide and porters.

The tent is still in good condition.

The park offers a variety of restaurants and convenience stores to serve tourists.

The first meal of the day, keep it simple with "Fried Rice".

Taksin Maharat National Park:

• During a three-day holiday weekend (December 8-10, 2017), the park experienced moderate visitor traffic, unlike popular parks in the northeastern region.
• The park boasts excellent management, clean restrooms (some recently renovated), and a lush atmosphere with ample camping space.
• Staff members are friendly and helpful.

Doi Montha:

• Located in Mae Sot District, Tak Province, Doi Montha falls under the jurisdiction of Taksin Maharat National Park.
• The trek from the starting point to the campsite takes approximately 5-6 hours, depending on individual pace.
• The initial leg involves a ride on an "e-taek" (modified tractor) from Poo Pae Village, crossing streams and traversing farmlands before reaching the trailhead.
• At Poo Pae Village, trekkers will meet a park ranger and three guides with porters, who will assist and provide guidance throughout the journey.

Pack your bags and get ready to travel

The "อีแต๊ก" truck will transport us to the starting point of our hike.

The initial section of the trail traverses through local farmlands.

The latter part of the trail involves crossing a stream.

During heavy traffic jams, people had to get out of their cars and push them together. Cr. Sombat Srirod

During heavy traffic jams, people sometimes have to get out of their cars and push them together to get them moving again.

The e-tag took about 15 minutes to reach the starting point of the walk. We will return to the same point when we walk down, but we will take a different route to ensure the safety of tourists.

Team members are ready to go.

If we are weary, let us walk into the forest.

The journey from the starting point to the campsite takes approximately 5-6 hours. The initial section of the trail follows a stream (which becomes a waterfall during the rainy season). As a result, hikers may need to wade through water, cross streams, climb rocks, and walk along the edges of cliffs. However, this section is not overly challenging or dangerous. The initial portion of the hike is considered relatively easy due to the cool and refreshing air along the stream, even in the absence of wind, as the trail is located within a valley.

This forest is still beautiful and very fertile.

During the hike, a team member's shoe sole unexpectedly detached. This was likely due to the use of athletic shoes for hiking, which may not withstand the rigors of rough terrain, water, and climbing. To resolve the issue, the team leader (page administrator) gave their own shoes to the team member, while the leader continued the hike wearing flip-flops.

After walking for about 2 hours and 30 minutes, you will reach a fork in the road. At this point, you will need to separate from the porters, as they will take a shorter and less steep route. Tourists can also take this route (but they will miss out on the beautiful views and the opportunity to walk along the ridge). At this point, the porters will take the shortcut, while the guide and park ranger will continue along the normal path with you. Shortly after the fork, you will begin the challenging climb to the top of the first hill (the lunch break and viewpoint). The initial incline is between 45 and 60 degrees.

After leaving the waterfall, we began the steep climb to the summit of the first hill.

The first goal has not yet been scored, and the players are taking a break.

Let's continue our journey and have lunch at the top!

We have reached the first peak, where we will have lunch while enjoying the view of Doi Montha through the foliage.

Who wants to play ROV on Line? We have 3G coverage from all 3 major carriers almost all the way.

The administrator who wore flip-flops to Doi Montha is being praised.

Shortly after the lunch break, you will reach the highlight of Doi Montha, the Kham Mit Noi ridge. It may not be as sharp as Khao Chang Phuak, but it is equally steep and challenging to hike. This is because you will have to carry your heavy backpack up the ridge! The physical characteristics of the Kham Mit Noi ridge at Doi Montha have a slope of approximately 60-80 degrees. The ground is a mixture of dry soil and gravel, making it quite slippery.

This is the path we must take to climb to the top of the second mountain peak...

After passing the narrow ridge, the trail becomes smoother but with a thrilling edge as we walk along the mountain ridge. Some sections are quite narrow, allowing only one person to pass at a time, while others have minor drop-offs requiring longer strides.

The final stretch of the trail follows the ridge until you reach the campsite. (Cr. Sombat Srirod)

Before reaching the camp, there is also a spot for taking pictures as a souvenir. It is a small rock protruding from the ridge.

Before reaching the camp, there are also spots for taking pictures as souvenirs. These are small rocks jutting out from the ridge.

Around 4 p.m., we all arrived at the camp and helped set up tents, relax, and rest while waiting to watch the sunset on Doi Montha.

"Let's talk a little about the camping area on Doi Montha. The campsite on the mountain can accommodate about 30 tourists (Taksin Maharaj National Park also limits the number of tourists to 30 people/day). There are no bathrooms, but there is water from the waterfall for tourists to use (porters go down to fetch it)."

The serene atmosphere of the campsite on Doi Monthan

The campsite on Doi Monthan offers a tranquil and uncrowded experience. Limiting the number of visitors to 30 per day ensures ample space for leisurely walks and relaxation, eliminating the hustle and bustle often associated with popular tourist destinations. This spacious environment allows visitors to freely roam, play, and soak in the breathtaking views at their own pace.

It's time for dinner! The best part about traveling with a group is making new friends and having someone cook for you. The food is even better than what I eat back in the city.

After a satisfying dinner prepared by the admins of the "World of Travelers" page, it was time for stargazing. Just a short walk of 5-10 meters from the camp, there was an open area where we could stand and take pictures of the stars at night. (Behind the photographer is a cliff, so be careful when walking at night.)

High ratings, truly excellent.

Bring your toys to take pictures with us.

It's time to go to bed. When we went there in early December, the weather wasn't too cold. There wasn't much wind, so we could sleep comfortably in a tent without a sleeping bag. The weather was just right, not too cold or too hot, and the wind wasn't too strong.

We woke up at 5:00 AM to watch the sunrise. We walked back about 5 minutes to the entrance, where we started our hike. The path was along a cliff, so it was recommended to bring a flashlight.

The sunrise viewpoint offers a breathtaking view of the mountain ridge we traversed yesterday.

A morning on Doi Montha.

Morning on Doi Montha

The following is a translation of the Thai sentence "ก่อนกลับก็ขอเก็บภาพหมู เอ้ยยยย!!! หมู่กันเล็กน้อย" into English:

"Before leaving, let's take a quick picture of the pigs, oops, I mean the group!"

The sentence is informal and uses a playful tone. The speaker is asking the group to take a picture together before they leave. The speaker accidentally says "pigs" instead of "group," which is a common mistake in Thai.

The translation of "ดอยมณฑายามเช้า" is "Doi Montha in the morning".

Note: I have kept the HTML structure as instructed.

After taking a group photo, it was time to descend. The staff led us down a shortcut used by porters to ascend the mountain. Returning via the original route, which was steep, narrow, and high, could be dangerous for tourists, especially as they were carrying luggage. The descent was considerably easier and faster than the ascent, as it involved a gradual descent through the hills to the waterfall.
