How This Trip Came to Be

This trip was born purely out of our own desires, fueled by a review we saw on the #GoodTravels page. They described it as a brand new, untouched mountain, perfect for nature enthusiasts like us. We couldn't resist the allure and immediately shared it on Facebook. Going alone seemed a bit too adventurous, so we invited our close friends and family to join us on this exciting adventure.

And here are the faces of those who fell victim to this trip's trap...

Travel

Getting there: If you don't have your own car, take a bus to Tak Bus Terminal and then find any transportation to take you to Tung Kra Cho Subdistrict, Ban Tak District. You can then contact Pa Tong directly. Alternatively, you can drive your own car, whichever is more convenient for you.

If you have ever visited Doi Luang Tak, the route to Khun Pa Tong's residence is the same. It is located near the Tung Krasae Subdistrict Administrative Organization.

We traveled by van, as there were nine of us. We contacted a van rental company to take us to Khun Pa Tong's house for convenience.

For those arriving early, there is no need to worry about accommodation, as Khun Pa Tong's residence offers ample space for tourists, complete with restrooms, sleeping quarters, food, and beverages. If you've forgotten to purchase any necessities, the Ban Tak fresh market is conveniently located approximately 8 kilometers from Khun Pa Tong's residence.

The starting point of the journey to Doi Huai Tue, or Doi Tue.

After completing our personal errands, packing our bags, and having breakfast, a pickup truck will be waiting to take us to the starting point of our trek, which is the Lisu village of Khun Huai Tu, in Tung Kracho sub-district, Ban Tak district, Tak province. The journey will take approximately one hour. Porters and guides will be waiting for us at the starting point.

I'm sorry, but I can't translate the provided text because it is empty. Please provide the text you want me to translate.

Note: If you are planning to visit, we recommend bringing snacks or toys as gifts. The starting point for the hike is located at the Lee Saaw Village Early Childhood Development Center, where the children are very friendly. :)

Embark on a 8 km hike to Doi Huai Tu or Doi Tu.

In the initial stages, we walked through the villagers' fields, gradually ascending for approximately 1-2 kilometers. Subsequently, we ventured into a banana forest, where we encountered small streams with refreshing, drinkable water. The forest floor was littered with fallen mangoes and wild rambutans, but we refrained from tasting them. Initially, we considered trying them, but our guide informed us that they were extremely sour, so we decided against it.

The forest trail alternates between flat and steep sections. If you feel tired, you can take a break.

The trail is still new, so if you are not experienced in hiking, it is recommended that you do not stray too far from the group, as you may get lost.

This trip, we had two companions to guide us, Spire and Spob. (Spire was adorable and stayed with our group the whole time, and he was also a big eater. As for Spob, he disappeared at some point, leaving Spire behind. ^_^ )

Walking into the banana forest, if we don't eat bananas, what will we eat? :P Hacktech sworn banana buddies.

Halfway There: A Moment of Rest

Our journey continued, punctuated by playful photo sessions, until we finally reached the halfway point. At this juncture, our guide, P'Phatthana, informed us that those who were hungry could take a break and enjoy lunch. This was our last chance to rest before entering the dreaded "ดงทาก" (swarm of leeches) zone.

Our gang wasn't hungry yet, so we told P'Tan to keep going. P'Tan was up for it, and we had a lot of fun. :)

From here on, it will be a steep climb up the mountain before we reach the slug-infested forest. The slugs are probably waiting for us with their necks outstretched, as we are climbing during the rainy season. As we walk up the mountain, we will be constantly hit by rain, fog, and wind. After this, we will probably encounter the slugs as we wished. :D

After a short climb, there is another resting point before finally reaching the actual Dong Tak. Our gang, still full of energy, didn't want to stop for a break or even eat. Everyone just wanted to keep going. As usual, P'Phatthana obliged. And so, we continued our hike.

Those planning to visit this location are advised to bring rain and windproof clothing, as strong winds are common and can be quite forceful.

Taking a deep breath, I spread my arms wide to embrace the refreshing embrace of nature. "Ah, how invigorating!"

We arrived at the leech forest, but no one stopped to take pictures because we were busy pulling leeches off ourselves. As soon as we stepped out of the shadows, 4-5 leeches attached themselves to our legs. We kept walking and pulling them off. As an animal lover, I couldn't resist keeping about 10 of them as pets. ^_^ We let the leeches crawl on our legs until we were out of the forest. Initially, I planned to release them near the campsite, but my friends all shouted "Noooooooooooooo!" I was heartbroken, but my friends are more important, so I had to let the leeches go on their way. T_T #We'll meet again, sayonara ^^

Despite our initial disappointment at our friends' refusal to allow us to bring our pet snail, we eventually accepted their decision.

And then we walked all the way to the campsite. Hooray!

Camping at Doi Huai Tu or Doi Tu

Note: I have translated the sentence into English while maintaining a simple and short tone of voice. I have also avoided using personal pronouns, colloquialisms, and markdown.

This is a large, open space that resembles a teletabby field. We arrived around noon, when the wind and rain were relentless. (At the campsite, there was a lot of cow dung.)

We all agreed that it was impossible to pitch our tents in this open space. However, the porters insisted that we could, claiming that previous survey groups had camped here. They did mention that those with hammocks should set them up inside the forest, finding trees to tie them to. Since the porters assured us it was okay, we didn't question their advice. We placed our backpacks down and began setting up our tents amidst the constant mist and howling wind. As we worked, we prayed silently for a safe night.

We are the first trip and the first group of Doi to arrive. It sounds proud. ^__^

After setting up the tents, it was around 1 pm. However, the sun was nowhere to be seen, replaced by a thick white fog and a cool breeze. Raindrops began to fall, so we decided to have lunch and take a nap to regain our energy. We planned to decide what to do next at 5 pm.

In the afternoon, everyone dispersed and went back to their respective tents.

I woke up at 5 pm to the sound of my fellow travelers chattering excitedly. They were taking photos and having fun, so I joined them. As for the summit, we'll have to wait until tomorrow. There's no way we can climb it today, and even if we could, we wouldn't be able to see anything through this thick fog.

A place to cook and hang a hammock.

Behind our tent, there is a designated area for campfires, cooking, hammock hanging, or even pitching additional tents, just a 500-meter walk away.

It is raining today, and the air is humid all day. It is very difficult to find firewood to make a fire. It is recommended to bring a gas stove as a backup.

We cooked together, ate, chatted, and gossiped until we were satisfied. Then, we went back to our respective tents. Some people fell asleep soundly, while others couldn't sleep because they were afraid their tents would be blown away. The wind was strong all night. If your tent isn't strong enough, I strongly advise against bringing it here. Even our K2, with its steel frame, bent, and water leaked into the tent. :(

We woke up around 7 am this morning, planning to climb to the top. However, we didn't make it because the fog that had been present since yesterday never faded away. It remained thick and white, covering everything in sight.

To avoid wasting time, it's okay if the score doesn't increase. Let's find something to eat and then quickly go down.

After breakfast, we helped each other pack up to prepare to descend. This is still a new mountain, fresh, untouched, and lush. If you are planning to come here, I would like to suggest that whatever you bring up, please bring it back down with you (not just for this mountain, but for everywhere you go. Nature and its beauty will stay with us forever). ^^

Time for a Photo

This section is rather short, as there isn't much to write about. Instead, let's share a rapid-fire series of images, as I captured quite a few! ^___^
