Phu Bak Dai...One visit is not enough.

Phu Bak Dai is a place we have visited twice recently. We feel that no matter how many times we go, it is always beautiful. Most importantly, it is very easy to walk, so much so that it can be considered a backyard garden. The path is not very steep, and the round trip distance is only 5 km. The view is spectacular, and the porters are very helpful.

For those interested in learning how to hike, we highly recommend this place. You won't be disappointed.

Hiking Preparation for Phu Bak Dai

1. Sun Protection: Wear long-sleeved shirts and hats during the hot and sunny ride on the "e-taek" truck.

2. Footwear: Wear sneakers or closed-toe shoes for optimal support and protection.

3. Leech Prevention: Phu Bak Dai is notorious for its leech population, regardless of the season. During the rainy season, leeches are particularly abundant. To avoid being bitten, wear leech-proof socks or long pants tucked into your socks.
