Nature's Notebook: The Grand Art of Flowers to Mountains at Pa Hin Ngam National Park
Chaiyaphum: The Final Destination
Note: The original text is a single sentence in Thai. The translation provided is a concise and literal rendering of the sentence in English.
Mo Chit, I'm here...
Five hours had passed, and the sixth hour was approaching. The tour bus was still on the road, making our hearts beat faster. Would the park still be open? Would there be any tents left? Or even, would there be any motorcycles left to take us up to the park?
These questions only serve to increase our impatience.
Finally, at around 6 o'clock.
It's time for the passengers heading to "Ban Rai Intersection" to disembark.
The first thing we looked for when we got off the plane was a motorbike taxi…
Despite waiting for a long time, we couldn't find any familiar orange or green shirt motorcycle taxi drivers. We ended up asking the owner of a nearby shop if there were any motorcycle taxis available to go to the park.
“Auntie here, how many people are going?”
The answer was as expected. The lady promptly collected the 150 baht fare and also took on the task of selling us return tickets (Wow, what a one-stop shop!).
The Heart of Pa Hin Ngam National Park
The Pa Hin Ngam National Park is located within the Pa Na Yang Klak National Forest Reserve in Chaiyaphum Province. It is the 105th national park in Thailand and is characterized by its mountainous terrain. The park encompasses various mountains, including the Phang Heuy mountain range, which stands at an elevation of approximately 846 meters. The rocks in this area date back to the Jurassic and Triassic periods, approximately 180-230 million years ago.
Due to its popularity as a rainy season destination, internal travel is incredibly convenient.
The area will also be served by a tram system.
He pulled out 30 and handed it to the employee.
It's time for the tram to take us on a tour of the park!
Okay, let me explain how the tram works. You can hop on at any stop and pay a single fare that covers all rides and stops within the park, as long as you don't leave the park premises. The tram stops include: Pha Sud Pha Din, the field of Siam tulips (accessible by foot from Pha Sud Pha Din), Lan Hin Ngam, and finally, the park entrance.
"The edge of the earth"
The location referred to as "the edge of the earth" is a geological formation where the Central Region's tectonic plate has been pushed beneath the Northeast Region. The left side of this formation is the easternmost point of Chaiyaphum Province in the Northeast Region, while the right side is the Sap Langka Wildlife Sanctuary in Lopburi Province in the Central Region. The back of the formation is adjacent to Phetchabun Province in the Northern Region. This location marks the intersection of all three regions.
… and the lush forest, with its dense green trees, below is the Sap Langka Wildlife Sanctuary, where various animals have been relocated, including tigers, elephants, and other wildlife. For those who arrive early, you can enjoy the morning mist!
The blinding light makes it impossible to see anything!
However, as the sun rises and the fog begins to dissipate, stunning views emerge. The wind carries the fog, making it resemble clouds. In addition to the breathtaking fog, you can also feel the refreshing cool breeze.
"Pink Torch Ginger"
Only four species can be found in this park, but our favorite is the white orchid, also known as the "Angel of the Gods." Surrounding the orchid is a grass called "peg," which the young monks at Wat Khu Thes N้อย explained to us. This peg grass acts as an anchor for the orchid, preventing it from being swept away by the water and protecting the topsoil from erosion. The peg grass blooms in a pink-purple color only at the beginning of the rainy season, from June to August each year.
"Beautiful Stone Yard"
The area is covered in large, oddly shaped boulders. These sandstone formations were created over millions of years by wind and water erosion, resulting in a variety of sculptures, including the FIFA World Cup Rock, the Giant Hen Rock, and the Tham Mong Rock. In addition to the beautiful rocks, the area offers stunning panoramic views and a refreshing breeze.
Trying to put your heart into a rainy season we never liked.
We often stereotype people and things around us because we simply feel that they are a certain way.
That's how we "feel" it is, like this, like that.
The rainy season for us is the same.
Feeling soaked every time it rains
I used to feel unwell whenever the sky started to darken.
We have often cursed the sky for the untimely rain, which we ourselves have "determined" to fall.
It is time to break free from the confines of our current understanding.
Let's venture out and discover why the forest cherishes the rain.
Natural Wonders
Nature is like an artist.
The same words echoed in my mind, over and over again, throughout my time at the park.
Deep green contrasts with light colors...
Tiny white dots amidst a verdant thicket.
Interspersed with stones of wondrous shapes
Hidden by the tranquil sound of flowing water in a small stream.
They are the beauty of this world.
Beauty that does not need to be imposed, but rather we are simply a part of it.
One part that is healed when we enter and rest peacefully.
Exploring the Hidden Trails of Pa Hin Ngam National Park: A Journey of Self-Discovery
While Pa Hin Ngam National Park is renowned for its stunning natural landscapes and viewpoints, venturing beyond the well-trodden paths reveals a hidden world of tranquility and self-discovery. Despite the park's popularity, the nature trails remain largely unexplored, offering a unique opportunity for a more intimate encounter with the park's diverse ecosystem.
During a recent visit, the park's trails were remarkably quiet, with only a handful of fellow hikers encountered throughout the entire 1.8-kilometer journey. This solitude allowed for a profound immersion in the natural surroundings, where the symphony of insects replaced the usual chatter of crowds. The trail meandered along the Pha Sud Phadin cliff, offering breathtaking panoramic views, before descending into a secluded valley teeming with vibrant wildflowers.
The absence of human intervention allowed the flora and fauna to flourish in their natural state, creating a sense of awe and wonder. The journey became a meditative experience, encouraging introspection and a deeper appreciation for the delicate balance of the natural world.
The two hours spent on the trail were a testament to the transformative power of nature. The quietude fostered self-reflection, while the breathtaking scenery inspired a renewed sense of purpose and responsibility towards environmental conservation. This experience serves as a reminder that true connection with nature often lies beyond the well-trodden paths, waiting to be discovered by those willing to embrace the solitude and immerse themselves in the raw beauty of the wilderness.
I've fallen for you, rainy season.
Today, I will record that I love the rain more today. Thank you for making the leaves fresh. Thank you for making things grow, especially the love for you in our hearts.
See you next year.
Rainy season...
With love
