E-Tong: A Village Nestled Amidst the Mountains, Embraced by Mist, in the Heart of Kanchanaburi

E-tong is a small village in Thong Pha Phum District, Kanchanaburi Province. Surrounded by mountains, the village enjoys a cool climate year-round, especially during the rainy season when mist envelops the entire area, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.


---- Let's go ----

Travel: Take the Kanchanaburi - Thong Pha Phum route. Along the way, you will pass Thong Pha Phum National Park, where you can stop and explore.

Khao Kud Doi is a scenic viewpoint within the park, offering panoramic views of the surrounding mountain ranges.

A short drive from Thong Pha Phum National Park leads to the village of E-tong. The first thing you'll notice is the refreshing coolness, thanks to the mist that blankets the entire village.

The pond is located on the right-hand side of the village entrance. The area around the pond serves as a parking lot.

The Mineral Bridge: A Must-See Photo Spot in the Village

The Mineral Bridge stands as one of the village's most captivating photo spots.

Wooden sign balcony ... a highlight of this place where everyone must take cool and stylish photos at this point. If anyone is interested in writing their memories on a wooden sign, they can buy one to write on. Only 20 baht per sign.

Let's go for a walk around the village.

Is this heaven? ... As I walked by the pool, a large ball of fog drifted towards me, enveloping me completely. It felt like I was walking in heaven. What a thrill!

**True relaxation** ... Here, you can feel that time without rushing, without competing with anyone, is incredibly blissful. Even looking at a dog lying down, you can't help but feel envious of its carefree existence. 555

Walking past a coffee shop, the weather like this, a hot cup of coffee would be nice... Well, I can only think about it, but I can't drink it.


Everything tastes delicious here ... Whatever you eat here is delicious. We ordered hot roti, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, one for each person. I don't know if the roti is delicious or if the atmosphere makes it delicious, or maybe both.

Traveling companion... Walking around here is not suitable because the local friends are kind and walk with you all the way. Thank you very much... Thank you for not biting our legs, haha ^^

Lush and verdant ... Under the sky, what is there to fear from the rain? The atmosphere after the rain is always so green, refreshing, and lush ... But please don't rain too much, let us enjoy our walk! Please!

The market here is not very big, but it has everything you need, including coffee shops, food stalls, and souvenir shops.




Relaxation… After driving and walking around all day, it's finally time to relax. There are quite a few accommodations here, and the prices aren't too bad. However, if you're visiting during a long holiday weekend, it's best to book in advance, as availability might dwindle and prices could increase due to higher demand.

Tonight, we're staying at Aiew Kwan Homestay, which is located right in the middle of the market. Honestly, I would have preferred to stay by the pool, but it was fully booked. In reality, it doesn't matter where we stay, as everything is within walking distance.

Let's make merit by offering food to monks… One activity you shouldn't miss is waking up early to offer food to monks for good luck and to welcome a fresh and exciting new day… Okay, enough of that.


After having breakfast, you can explore other attractions. If you don't have a car or are too lazy to drive, you can use the local shared taxi service.

Taking in the view, taking in the fog ... We drove past the village and up to the Flagpole Hill Viewpoint. To reach the viewpoint, you have to climb over a hundred steps ... 555 just kidding, it's not even a hundred steps. But for someone who doesn't exercise much like me, it was still tiring.

Viewpoint of the Flagpole Hill

This viewpoint is where the flags of Thailand and Myanmar are raised. From here, you can enjoy the scenic view of the lush forests of our neighboring country.

Mysterious Land ... Another must-visit is the Pilok Mine, where you can see old mining tools and machinery. The oddly shaped trees, combined with the thick fog, create a cool atmosphere, as if you've stumbled into a mysterious land, transported to another dimension.
