点评:This was a unique and fun experience unlike any other I’ve had in Thailand. The hike is a grind but was fairly easy (I’m an experienced backcountry hiker). It took my wife and I 4 hours to get to the campsite (I think I could have done it in 3 hours if hiking solo). The first 7km involved a 1200m ascent and the last 3km was flat.
We rented a tent (3 person sized), sleeping pads, sleeping bags, pillows and a blanket. We hiked up on a Thursday so the campsite was fairly slow. We were the only people in our section which was nice. It got considerably busier on Friday.
Make no mistake; this is glamping. There are restaurants, coffee shops, gift shops, flushing toilets and showers at the campsite. You can even charge your phone at many of the restaurants (there is full cell service).
The second day we rented bikes and explored the plateau. The waterfalls were all closed off due to wild elephants. We were fortunate to see a wild elephant, a true highlight of the trip.
The hike down took 3 hours. We hiked down on a Saturday so there was a steady stream of people hiking up. If I do this again I would time it to avoid Friday-Sunday.
Overall this experience offers a great workout, beautiful views, wildlife and many comforts.
翻译:这是一次独特而有趣的经历,不同于我在泰国经历过的任何其他经历。徒步旅行很辛苦,但相当容易(我是一位经验丰富的野外徒步旅行者)。我和我的妻子花了4个小时才到达露营地(我想如果单独徒步我可以在3个小时内完成)。前7公里是1200m的上坡,最后3公里是平坦的。
我们租了一个帐篷(3人大小)、睡垫、睡袋、枕头和毯子。我们周四徒步旅行,所以露营地的速度相当慢。我们是我们这一带唯一友善的人。周五这里变得相当繁忙。
不犯错误;这是豪华露营。营地内设有餐厅、咖啡厅、礼品店、冲水厕所和淋浴间。您甚至可以在许多餐厅为手机充电(提供全面的手机服务)。
第二天我们租了自行车去探索高原。由于野象的袭击,瀑布全部关闭。我们很幸运地看到了一头野生大象,这是这次旅行的真正亮点。
下山需要3个小时。我们是周六徒步下山的,所以上山的人源源不断。如果我再次这样做,我会避开周五至周日。
总的来说,这种体验提供了很好的锻炼、美丽的景色、野生动物和许多舒适感。
