The Rainy Season at Phu Bak Dai with Two Thousand Baht Bills

"Phu Bak Dai in the rainy season" is truly a muddy mess.

Travel from June 9-11, 2018, with 6 members + 2 at the destination.

Phu Bak Dai has a peak elevation of 1,500 meters above sea level.

Hiking level: Easy

To reach the starting point, you need to take a local taxi called "I-Taek" for about 2 hours. The road is quite steep and can be slippery and muddy, especially during the rainy season. The total trekking distance is 3 kilometers, with only 300 meters of steep climb. The rest of the trail is relatively flat.

The upper level lacks restrooms and shops, but there is a natural spring where you can collect water for cooking.

From now on, I will get on and off the tuk-tuk at least 10 times. 555+ It's stuck all the way.

We encountered another group descending today. We saw three vehicles traveling in the opposite direction, and there was only our group ascending.

The sentence translates to: "The traffic was bad today, so I stopped by KFC for a quick bite. 555+"

Here's a breakdown of the translation:

• ช่วงนี้รถติดนานด้วย - This translates to "The traffic was bad today."
• เลยแวะกิน KFC แปป - This translates to "So I stopped by KFC for a quick bite."
• 555+ - This is a Thai emoticon that expresses laughter.

I hope this is helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Our lunch in the jungle was KFC, and we even had mangosteen.

After eating, she went straight to sleep. I really don't understand this woman.

Let's take a look at some of the highlights... The road was in terrible condition, muddy and full of potholes. We had to get out and walk several times.

And the differential wheels are really cool.

Two long hours have passed. Now it's time to start walking.

The distance is not far, only 3 kilometers. The path is steep for about 300 meters, but the rest is easy to walk.

If it weren't for the leeches, we could stand and wave our hands, watching the concert like celebrities.

Methods for preventing leeches that our group has prepared to fight against them.

• Calcium oxide

- Sofle

• This salt is so good, it's like magic!

Keep walking, just keep walking.

No, the "snail" is still crawling. AAAAAAAAAAAH! The forest is going crazy!

The presence of ladybugs indicates a healthy environment.

After walking 100 meters, the sole of my shoe came off again. I tied my shoelaces at least 5 times, but they kept coming off as I walked.

Stepped in a pile of "cow dung" again, my feet are completely covered in it.

It stinks, it's rotten, and the soles of the shoes are hanging off again!!!

And then we reached the spot where people like to take pictures. Others had gone there and taken beautiful photos, showing the view of the mountains and the grassy fields.

The other group saw only a white expanse, the air so cold it made them shiver. They couldn't see a damn thing.

There it is, the deceptive cliff! OMG!!! I can't see anything anymore either.

A solitary boulder protrudes against a stark white backdrop, devoid of sand. The question of location hangs heavy in the air, echoing the uncertainty that grips the speaker. A faint sound pierces the silence, prompting the question, "What am I doing here?" The hashtags suggest a setting shrouded in overcast skies, amidst the dampness of a rainy forest hike, enveloped in a thick, oppressive gloom.

And while I was sitting there taking photos, in just a few seconds, a strong gust of wind blew away the fog, revealing a clear view for a brief moment.

Make my heart beat again... and I want to come back in the summer ^ ^

As the sky darkened, hunger pangs began to rumble in my stomach.

It's time to pitch the tents and cook dinner.

Cook rice for tomorrow's lunch.

After finishing eating, I went out to take new photos, but I could only sit and wait with my eyes wide open, hoping that the sky would clear up. But no, it got even more overcast. Damn it!

I guess I'll have to get it repaired again.

What should we do if the sky doesn't clear up?

Embrace it with your heart... Nature that is not just something you can see with your bare eyes... It's cold, Mr. Suchart!!

Happiness is clear... even though the picture is not clear at all. T T

On that starless night, our friend Tens was swept away by the current, unable to sleep from 8pm until morning. His sleeping bag was soaked, and when morning came, we found our friend with very puffy eyes. 5555

Our dance skills are rusty...#help

The bad times have passed, leaving behind a new morning with fried rice and continuous rain.

The rice was stir-fried with undercooked pork and no vegetable oil was added. It was hilarious, but we still ate it all up.

Symptoms after eating fried rice

Best bread, Doctor.

Party's over, time to go home.

As cool people, we must move on.

Everything is still the same, except that the sole of the shoe has come off again. This is the millionth time I've had to repair it.

Landing must be done with the bottom down only.

This leech loves human blood, it's delicious! It went all the way up my butt. #Good thing I was wearing a G-string. Dr. X said, "555+"

She arrived at the e-taek stop in this condition.

It is natural for warriors to have scars. #ProblematicSnail

The rain shows no signs of stopping, not even for a single second.

Not enough weight, cut more wood...

Remove your shoes, wash your feet, and clean your bicycle chain before entering the village.

See you again on our next trip!
