A few baht | Nakhon Chum, a small village in the mountains of Phitsanulok Province.

Greetings! This journey will take us to a province not too far from Bangkok!

Embark on a journey to a quaint village, where you'll be enveloped in the embrace of nature's misty embrace and savor the delectable flavors of local cuisine.

Let's travel to the city called "Nakhon Chum" in Phitsanulok province.

Of course >> For those who can't drive, even a motorcycle is out of the question haha

We had to start our journey from the Bangkok Bus Terminal. We left work and set off immediately.

We opted to depart at 11:30 p.m. with the intention of arriving in Phitsanulok city early the next morning.

We bought tickets, no need to specify the channel or lock, it would be too detailed. Let's just travel.

We don't remember exactly, haha. We bought tickets from Bangkok to Phitsanulok for 409 baht and departed at 11:30 PM.

Let's embark on our journey!

Do not let financial constraints be an obstacle to travel.

We have now arrived in Phitsanulok province.

The journey from Bangkok to Phitsanulok takes approximately 6 hours.

From Phitsanulok, we need to transfer to Nakhon Thai district, which takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes.

The taxi fare was around 50 baht, but I don't remember the exact amount. I was in a hurry and forgot to note it down. (It probably wasn't much more than that.)

There are no buses from Nakhon Thai to your destination.

We then went to ask the three-wheeled uncle.

"Uncle! How do I get to Nakhon Chum?"

The uncle said that there were no cars going there, but early in the morning, there were many villagers from the elephant on the car to the market.

Why don't you try going to that area to meet the people who came by car and hitch a ride with them?

If not, let me know, I'll take you there.

Okay, let's go to the market first and then we'll see. We can also find something to eat there.

As my uncle mentioned, there were no available vehicles. He dropped me off at the market entrance.

However, we have researched on the Khao Pok Lone page and found that there is no actual transportation available.

We needed a car to take us from our house down to the market and then back up. So we contacted Brother Tum, a local guide in Nakhon Chum.

We wondered how we would get there, and the answer we received was, "I'll come down and pick you up." Oh, that was reassuring. Today, we have arrived at our destination.

We are joined by local guide, P'Tum, from Nakhon Chum.

Please pick us up at the village entrance.

From Nakhon Thai District to our final destination village on this trip.

It took us about 30-45 minutes to reach Nakhon Chum. Our local guide, Tum, picked us up.

Tum dropped me off at my accommodation. He said, "Pack your things, I'll take you sightseeing later."

Nakhorn Chum is a small, secluded village nestled amidst the mountains.

There is only one way in and out.

If you want to come, you must really be determined to travel.

This city has a rich history and many stories to tell.

The city of Sam Pluem, the stronghold of King Bang Klang Hao.

Or perhaps it is a city where people from the north have migrated to live.

Or the city where the two brothers, Khun Kang and Khun Han, were brave.

They came and established themselves in the rice fields.

That's just a story that's been passed down.

But this is… the real thing is the sea of mist, nature.

The mountain we can conquer is "Khao Pok Lone".

We spent the night at the Baan Nongsamai Homestay. Let me tell you,

The atmosphere is very reminiscent of home.

The room was very good. I slept comfortably.

Please note that there is no ensuite bathroom.

450 baht per night, including two full meals.

Our journey begins at the first tourist destination in Nakhon Chum, as our local guide, Brother Tum, leads the way.

This is Pha Khlong Kao, a place where monks once practiced meditation.

In the past, villagers would often gather to deliver rice and water, hence the origin of the name "Pha Khlong Khao," which translates to "Rice Basket Cliff."

We explored this small town by climbing a mountain, which was quite tiring.

We returned to the city by paying respects to the sacred objects of Nakhon Chum.

Let's pay our respects at the "Shrine of Grandfather Luang Nakhon Chum". Every year, there is a "Grandfather's Feast" held here.

This is a long-standing tradition. After the offering to the grandfather spirit is complete, the inaugural flag will be changed.

At the bald mountain peak, we are not sure if it is every April or not. I forgot to write it down again.

After making merit, I immediately went on to sin. 555

We are currently at the Nakhon Chum Distillery.

This might be the most scenic distillery I've ever seen.

They are boiled behind this house.

However, it is legal here. I have a license, of course. 555.

Here, the traditional method of making liquor using "แป้งเหล้า" (fermented rice flour) is still practiced.

The auntie said that if you try it, it's like 70 degrees of flavor, like a fiery mix, and it's hot.

It's a bit tipsy.

This is a thousand-year-old salt field where traditional salt-making methods are still practiced.

Numerous archaeological artifacts have likely been discovered here.

Drove past an old man and a dog.

According to Tum, Uncle is the best weaver in Nakhon Chum. He does everything himself.

End of the day.

Let's end the day with a full-course meal.

The homestay at Nong Saimai's house is truly a feast for the senses.

450 baht for accommodation with meals. It doesn't get any better than this.

The beautiful view behind is the bare mountain, Khao Pok Loen.

We will go up there tomorrow morning.

We started climbing the mountain at 5:30 am.

This morning, Brother Tum drove his Isuzu pickup truck to pick us up in front of our house. The weather was quite chilly.

The road is bumpy, haha, but the view is breathtaking.

(If you say I'm so beautiful that you have to stop breathing, I'll die. It's better to breathe.) What kind of joke is this?

The trail is not too difficult, but it is not easy either. Expect to break a sweat.

Fortunately, I've lost a lot of weight. Haha.

It takes about an hour to walk up from below.

And this is the view that greeted us upon reaching the summit of Khao Pok Loen.

The mist is so thick, it's almost touching the ground. It's incredibly beautiful.

A truly transcendent experience, as if standing on actual clouds.

According to P'Tum, this place is not very high, around 600 meters.

The flag they planted, a symbol of victory, atop the bald mountain of Poklone.

An annual flag-changing ceremony takes place here.

The path is a bit scary. If you fall, don't bother looking for me. See you at the bottom.

This is known as the "Dragon's Spine".

The view is beautiful. We'll wait for the fog to clear, and then we should be able to see the entire Nakhon Chum subdistrict.

From this viewpoint, the mountain is bald.

This is the view of Tambon Nakhon Chum from the top of Pok Lone Mountain.

This is another stunning village.

On the way down Khao Pok Loen, there are also red mushrooms.

You can definitely keep it. Do you have a license, Mr. Tum? Haha.

They say this mushroom is the best!

He told me to come down from the mountain this evening, as he will be preparing a local meal for us.

While the dish is called "steamed chicken in bamboo," let's first gather the necessary ingredients, including bamboo and various seasonings.

Sure, I can translate that for you. Here is the translation:

I also had the opportunity to visit Nakhon Chum City. It was a pleasure to take pictures there.

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

With ingredients in hand, we head into the kitchen for a grand cooking session, joined by eager young helpers.

Delicious fried eggs.

In the evening, let's change the atmosphere a bit.

Camping in front of Khao Pok Lone offers stunning views.

The simple atmosphere here is great. It's raining lightly, creating a wonderful ambiance.

Today is a day of merit-making. The atmosphere in the morning is quite lively.

There are also many cool and trendy cafes here.

This trip, I would like to express my gratitude to P'Tum, the handsome local guide of Prachuap Khiri Khan.

It truly took us to every nook and cranny of Nakhon Chum.

If anyone wants to travel or needs more information, please contact Mr. Tum.
