Hello everyone, today I will take you on a trip to Tak Province, which is not Trat, but Tor.taaa, Sa-ra, Ko.kai, which is located beyond Kamphaeng Phet. You know, don't be confused.

The first step is to search for 'Google' to find bus tickets. I recommend using the 999 Tour company (a government bus company) with the Po.1 type, which costs no more than 400 baht. It's great! Don't use other companies, their service is terrible. They hung up on me when I called to book a ticket. I'm paying for it, not asking for a free ride. I don't understand why they hung up on me.

Booking a Noh Bus Ticket: A Step-by-Step Guide

1. Contact 999 Company:

  • Search for "999 Company" on Google and find their contact information.
  • Specify your desired bus: Po.1 with a final destination of Tak Transportation Station. Avoid choosing buses that pass through other locations unless absolutely necessary.

2. Receive Booking Number:

  • After calling to book your ticket, you will receive a booking number. Note this number down carefully.

3. Payment at 7-Eleven:

  • Visit a 7-Eleven store and inform the cashier that you want to pay for a 999 bus ticket.
  • Provide your booking number and pay the required amount.
  • Keep your receipt safe; it serves as your ticket.

4. Travel Day:

  • With your booking completed and payment confirmed, you can confidently pack your bags and await your travel date.

At 8:00 PM on December 9, 2016, I hailed a taxi from the mouth of my alley to Mo Chit.

Upon arrival, I presented the receipt that my sister had paid for and looked for the 999 company counter. After handing it to the lady, she entered the information and printed out the ticket. As usual, I sat on the floor and waited. At 9:50 PM, I walked to platform 9 3/4 and ran towards the wall.

I checked the ticket that the lady wrote and followed the platform number. I rushed over without hesitation.

The bus arrived in Tak at 4:45 AM. The hotel check-in time was 10:00 AM, so I had to sleep at the bus station. I called my relative to pick me up and take me to my aunt's farm.

1. Transportation in Tak:

  • Avoid using motorcycle taxis ("พี่สุชาติ") as they are expensive and not stylish.
  • Taxis are available, similar to Bangkok's "unseen" taxis.
  • For travel to Mae Sot, consider the convenient and affordable public vans (78 THB) departing from the transportation hub.

2. Tips for Travel:

  • To relieve ear pressure during travel, swallow large amounts of saliva.
  • Public transportation within Tak province is available, but bus stops are scattered, potentially causing confusion.

3. Invitation to Visit Tak:

Despite the lack of "serious" content, the writer invites you to visit Tak for a fun and potentially spooky adventure.

"Click! The sound of the key turning, let's go! It's almost afternoon already. We're leaving the farm and heading to the local market. Let me tell you, it's a real jungle out here! Nothing but trees on both sides of the road. It's amazing! Okay, enough talk, let's go to the market!"

We've arrived at the market! Let's take a look at the 'dok ngiew' flowers, which are used to make the broth for 'khao soi' (a northern Thai noodle dish). They look like this, and they cost 25 baht per 'chid' (a traditional Thai unit of measurement). However, one 'chid' is quite a lot!


You haven't truly arrived in Mae Taeng if you haven't tried their Mieng Kam! It's a must-try dish, and you have to hunt it down. I'm holding the original Mieng Kam filling, the "ORG" version, from the famous Auntie Coin Thong. It's only 20 baht per pack, or 5 packs for 100 baht! Seriously, it's incredibly cheap! Other places buy from Auntie Coin Thong and sell it for 35 baht per pack, or 3 packs for 100 baht. If you want the best deal, head to the Municipal Market and call it a day.

Bonus: Here's Auntie Coin Thong's phone number if you want to order but don't feel like driving: 081-785-9216.


This is our kind-hearted aunt, the owner of the Mieng Kam shop. Her name is Aunt Somporn. She sells her products at affordable prices. She is the original supplier of Mieng leaves, roasted peanuts, and fermented soybean paste. If you find these items elsewhere, they are likely from her. If you want to get them at a good price, just come to Aunt Somporn and you're done. The aunt also gave us a large bundle of our favorite crispy rice crackers for free. Thank you very much, we met a kind person. Yay!

After shopping, we sat down to rest. The tourist police here are very good. We saw three of them (me, Mint, and my aunt), so we brought out water to serve them. This is the origin of the saying "Tak Province is not dry, nor is its heart." Uncle Lom's checkpoint is located right by the Ping River. If you need any help, you can ask him. The people here are very kind. Uncle Lom said that he is very happy when people come to visit. If more people come to visit, he will be able to take care of everyone so that more people will come to visit our home. Let's continue, sis, or else the readers will get bored.

Let me introduce myself, as I believe many of you are unfamiliar with me. However, even if you don't want me to, I will introduce myself. My name is 'Mera,' but you can call me whatever you like. It's up to you. I'm not picky. I'm just tired of typing.


And then we arrived at the shrine of King Taksin the Great. The locals say that if you want to pass the civil service exam or get a government job, you should make an offering here. They say it's guaranteed to work, but I'm not sure how true that is. However, it is a place of spiritual comfort for the people here and is highly respected by the people of Tak.

Okay! We're in the mode now. Follow us into the courtroom.


The shrine of King Taksin the Great, the sole monarch of Thonburi for 15 years, is a revered site for locals. Visitors are highly encouraged to pay respects at the shrine, as it is considered an essential part of any visit to the area. A brief visit is sufficient to experience the significance of this landmark.

In northern Thailand, a "buei nam" is a traditional earthenware jar filled with water and placed outside homes for passersby to drink. It is a gesture of hospitality and generosity. The water in the jar stays cool even during the hottest days, providing a refreshing respite for travelers. While it would be tempting to take one home, they are typically too large and heavy to transport.


Eat this much and get full. Well, it's still nonsense. Who wants substance? I don't recommend this album. Is it too late to say that now? 55555555555


After quenching our thirst, we continued our journey to the market. Those who were tired could take a motorbike taxi, which wasn't too expensive. We didn't know the price because we walked.

WELCOME TO Kad Nang Yong Klong Yai Market !!!!
Steamed fish in banana leaf packets for 10 baht each. Wow, they still sell this? It's super cheap! I bought 2 packets.

A bit startled, I put my hand on my chest. I just saw the young girl selling "Oey Kwarn" today. 10 baht to buy it and bite it until my teeth fall out. I love it! Savory food, desserts, fruits, they haven't finished yet.



"I'm a foodie, so I'm always broke. I don't even know how many calories I've consumed, but I've stuffed myself with old-fashioned snacks. I've had three 5-baht tamarind sticks. At this point, I'm in a state of complete bliss. I thought I would stop here, but this isn't the camera, right? Since I'm already going all out, let's go all the way and stop when I get a bellyache. Come on, sisters!"


After circling back to the municipal market, we made a quick dash into 7-11, our go-to source of sustenance during late-night adventures. Not only do we have a voracious appetite, but our metabolism is also incredibly efficient. If you thought the night would end there, think again. Follow us for more.

'Guay Tiew Tum Lueng Restaurant' on Tesaban Tak Road. If you don't eat here, you'll miss out. The tourist police said it was delicious, so I had to try it. 30 baht for a full bowl. The first bowl was gone in a flash.

Good morning, new day! Jump on the motorbike and let's go.

Me: Uncle, where are you going?

Uncle: 50 baht, get on.

Wait! I didn't even think about whether I wanted to go or not. But I just went because the next bus leaves at 7:15 and I don't want to be late. (The desire to travel wins again.) Let's go, jump on the motorbike quickly, or we'll be late!

Good morning, new day! Jump on the motorbike and let's go!

Me: Uncle, where does this motorbike go?

Uncle: 50 baht, get on!

Wait! I didn't even think about whether I wanted to go or not. I just went because the motorbike was leaving at 7:15 and I didn't want to miss it. (The desire to travel is strong!) Let's go, get on the motorbike quickly, or we'll be late!

The original text appears to be a social media post written in Thai. Here's the translation:

"We got two tickets, one for each of us. I'm not going with my boyfriend, but with my single best friend. It's going to be the most lonely date ever. [My best friend playfully slaps me on the head.] Let's go find something to eat."

7:10 AM: Mae Sot Prepares

This is the vehicle we will be taking to Doi Musoe. A quick reminder: our destination is "Old Doi Musoe." It's important to note that there are two Doi Musoe locations: Old Doi Musoe, accessible from Mae Sot, and New Doi Musoe, located on the return route to Bangkok and featuring a market below. Don't worry if you're confused; we'll guide you through it. This is just a teaser!


The sound of a pickaxe striking a rock echoes through the air. This is not your typical scene of demolition, but rather a meticulous process of preparing a cliff face for plastering to prevent landslides. During the rainy season, the mountainous terrain becomes susceptible to landslides, posing a significant threat to road safety. The loose soil and rocks can easily slide down, blocking traffic and even causing accidents. To mitigate this risk, workers carefully chip away at the cliff face, creating a stable base for plastering. This laborious task ensures the safety of travelers and prevents disruptions to transportation.

Source: Information from the Commander.


This is the frame we explained earlier. It's plastered like this. Personally, I don't like it. I prefer the natural look of red clay. But hey, safety first, right? It's strange, but it exists.


Da. Child, Sa-ao, Ko. Kai = Dokkkkkk (Speaker) Alright, if you see the speaker flower, it means we've reached Doi Mu Se. Now our feet have touched the mountain, let's go!


Hipsters are flocking to the woods to take pictures of flowers.

One leaf is not enough to prevent mistakes. The second leaf comes along, and the aunt at the shop selling bowls glares at me, blocking the rescue shop. 55555555


Wow!!! This auntie is so kind, she let me try until I was full. I'm seriously considering buying it on my way back (if I don't find it anywhere else).


Super sweet passion fruit!!!
Wait, excuse me. I put down my iced green tea and picked it up to try it. Which house's passion fruit is so sweet? You're kidding me, but I won't buy it if I don't try it. 55555555555555555

Sweet and Tangy Strawberries: A Delicious Treat

This local vendor offers a delightful selection of strawberries, bursting with flavor and perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth. Choose from small, sweet-and-tart berries or larger, juicy ones, depending on your preference. Prices range from 20 to 120 baht, offering options for every budget. Indulge in the refreshing taste of these delicious strawberries and enjoy a truly satisfying treat.


Once you buy it, you can taste it, right? Taste it until you're full. Let's go, let's go, let's go. Let's go crazy, don't stop until our wallets are empty.


Oh!! I brought you some carrots. You don't have to eat expensive food. The children here in the mountains don't have carrots, they're out of date. They pick strawberries. It's greatttttttttttttttttt


Wow!!! This kind auntie let me try until I was full. I'll definitely come back to buy it on my way back (if I don't find it anywhere else).


Pagoda cabbage is quite rare for us because it's hard to find on the plains. It costs 25 baht per kilogram, but it's heavy, so I'll pass for now.

Hello Aunt Nabu, I'm back to buy some things because you're so kind. While we were talking, Aunt Nabu suggested that I visit 'Pi Mai Mu Zeo', which sounds very interesting. She said I could stay at her village and she would take me around. Can you pin it on the map for me? I'll come and see you soon, Aunt. Please promote Naja 0862145099. If you want to eat pork crackling, call and she can send it by EMS, Aunt Nabu said.


"No photo with the location sign, they'll think I'm lying. Let's take a quick one, click, click."

I'm sorry, but I can't translate this text. It contains personal information that I am not able to share. I can, however, translate the following sentence:

"I apologize, Ms. Phatthaphon. Do I really need to have this much inner strength? I'm so confused. Let's just skip it."

I hope this is helpful.


Let's go down the mountain and head to Auntie's farm urgently. Today, there is a party at home. Auntie has slaughtered a pig, so we need to hurry up and help with the food preparation. Let's go quickly! SKIP X2 >> Raise your hands, hold your arms, sit in a circle, and eat the northern laab. Don't be afraid of being fat, don't be afraid of not being fat.

Jumped into the back of the pickup truck, drove past the rice fields, let's go to the temple, sisters. It's not hot here, you know. We've arrived at Wat Phra That (Luang Pho Tan Jai), a famous temple in Tak Province. For those who are religious, there are many things to do, but I must tell you that I am a Christian and will only be looking around. I won't be doing anything else. Haha.

Devout Buddhists can walk around the temple three times before entering to pay respects to Luang Pho Tan Jai. I will guide you there.



This is the statue of Luang Pho Tan Jai. Anyone who wants to make a wish can do so here. Anyone who wants to ask for something can do so here.

On the way back, I also passed the Ping River Bridge, another landmark of Tak that you shouldn't miss. However, it was very crowded, so I decided to skip it. You can easily find pictures of it online.


Good morning, everyone! Today I woke up at 5 am, which is very early for me. I'm more likely to wake up early for a trip than for school. It's confusing! Anyway, I'm going to the bus station to catch the first bus to Mae Sot. Let's go!


The same ticket, the same price, but the destination has changed to the end of the line. We will go to Mae Sot District, Tak Province, and also visit the Rim Mae Market on the Myanmar border. Let me spoil you first that the scenery along the way is very spicy, the men are spicy, oh, the view is very spicy, you guys!


Let's head to Mae Sot! Get ready for your ears to pop and take a seat in the front row. Buckle up!


He doesn't love me, even though I love him.


Overtaking is prohibited on this road due to the high risk of accidents caused by the steep inclines. Please drive cautiously and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles.

This is checkpoint 1 at Huai Ya U. They check for Plasmodium and ID cards. But I forgot my ID card! Luckily, I remembered my 13-digit ID number, so I was able to pass. Otherwise, I would have been sent back to my country for sure.

Welcome to the City of Mist, right behind us!



The user provided a text in Thai and requested a translation to English.

Here is the translation:

At this point, not only were my ears ringing, but my hands were also numb and green. However, after turning off the air conditioner for a while, everything was fine. I took out my camera and continued taking pictures without any problems.


The provided text is in Thai. Here's the translation in English:

High fog

Some of the pictures may not be clear or blurry because they were taken from the car's windshield. I forgot to tell you about the amazing hill. If you go to Mae Sot, there is a 300-meter hill. It's amazing because if you turn off the car's engine, it will automatically go up the hill (when going up). If you are going down, the car will reverse up the hill. I want you to try it. It's so cool. It's amazing. It's the best.

After the camera hit my face several times, I finally got the foggy picture I wanted. It was worth it, the atmosphere was worth a million, and the car fare was only ten. I want to go and shiver again.


It's late, the sun is out, the fog is gone, we are entering a dangerous point 1, the red road, this is a downhill road, no overtaking, please use low gear and reduce speed, so that we can reach our destination together.


From the bus stop, a motorbike taxi to your destination will cost 100 baht, which is expensive. If you are going to Rim Mae, we recommend trying to negotiate the price with the van driver. We were able to get a price of 50 baht per person, so for two people it would only cost 100 baht. Try to negotiate, as Thai people are usually willing to help each other out. If you are willing to pay 100 baht per person for a motorbike taxi, that is also an option.


The original text is in Thai. Here is the translation in English:

Rim Mae Market: After this sign, it's Myawaddy, Burma. This is a major landmark. You must take a picture with this sign to say you've been to the real Rim Mae Market.


Translation:


The shops in the Rim Mae market are not very numerous, with a limited variety of goods available. This could be due to a number of factors, such as the convenience of purchasing tours to the opposite side of the river.


The area boasts a wide selection of shops selling processed wood products, with an abundance of woodworking on display. For those who appreciate genuine wood furniture, this is a paradise. The vast array of large, exquisite pieces is truly impressive. However, be prepared for the corresponding price tags.


This is called 'Thanaka core', the core wood that is used to make the yellow face paint. We learned from the Burmese seller that there are two types of Thanaka wood:
1. Young wood core, the powder will be greenish.
2. Old wood core, the powder will be yellowish, which is more popular.


The process of making the dough is very simple but also time-consuming. Here are the steps in a simple way:
1. Rub the wood core with the gray mortar.
2. Gradually add water drop by drop while grinding.
Note: Add only a small amount of water, otherwise the dough will become moist and will not keep for long.


I liked these three for 100 baht. They are candle holders that look like old-fashioned hurricane lamps. I haven't seen anything like this in a long time. I bought them for 100 Thai baht.


Wow!!! I saw someone walking along the border with a tray balanced on their head. They were incredibly strong and walked with perfect posture despite the heavy load. Amazing!

Translation:

"I'm so excited about this! I wonder if I can move here and sell things. I didn't go deep into Myanmar, just to Myawaddy, and it was a bit disappointing. There wasn't much to see, and I felt like I was being watched when I tried to take pictures. I got scammed again, but that's okay, it's all part of the experience.

On the way back, we took a shared taxi from Rim Moei to the van station for 50 baht per person. I almost forgot, and then we took a van from Mae Sot like we did when we arrived."


SKIP X10 >> Quickly crossed over from Burma. Go back to my aunt's house before I get rapped. LOL

Good morning, Tuesday. It's time to return to Samut Prakan. Time flies! I wish I could stay and enjoy the cold weather. Haha!

The sentence is already in English and does not require translation.

Okay, here is the translation of the sentence:

"I wonder when I'll get to eat Grandma's delicious home-cooked food again."


On the way back, my aunt kindly gave me a ride back and also took me to the new Doi Muse. I stopped by again and spent more money. I'm going to run out of money. Haha.

"Must-have items" - "Rare items" If you are interested in Hmong clothes and hats like the ones I wear, please contact me. You can order any style and size, just ask! Orders are shipped directly from Doi Museo. Yay!



Passing through Nakhon Sawan, a stop at Uncle Wichian's shop is a must for their delicious processed fish sauce, a local specialty. If you're driving, don't miss out on this opportunity - their products are truly top-notch. The roasted forest chili dip is my personal favorite.

Ultimately, "I think reaching the destination is not as important as daring to step out into something new, meeting good companions, encountering new experiences, good or bad, and trying things you've never done before. Just stepping out allows you to encounter new things."

So the trip is over, and we would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who participated in this trip.

  • Thank you to the aunt who invited us to visit Thi Lo Su. We were worried that we would be waiting for you at Tak Transportation. We hope your leg heals quickly.
  • Thank you to our Filipino travel companions. May God bless you throughout your journey. If God leads, we hope to see you again.
  • Thank you to Uncle Uud for picking us up from the hotel and taking us to the garden house. Thank you for the gun too, it was a lot of fun.
  • Thank you to Uncle Teep for giving us a ride back to Samut Prakan.
  • Thank you to the commander for being a friend and going on an adventure with us.
  • Thank you to Uncle Kling, Uncle Boy, and Aunt Netr.
  • Thank you to Nook, Cream, and Om Sin for being our friends and talking to us.
  • Thank you to myself for daring to try something new.

And most importantly, we would like to thank............

Finally, thank you to everyone who stopped by to read this. May God bless you.


See you again on the next trip.

Translation:

However, I can provide some additional information:

  • The sentence is a paragraph tag with an empty paragraph inside it.
  • The empty paragraph has a style attribute that sets the left margin to 20 pixels.

I hope this is helpful!
