"Phukradung Mountain Top, Loei" is the dream destination of the young traveller as I am. Thai people know well that there's no other ways to climb up 1,288 metres M.S.L. except walking. I took almost four hours from where we parked to where we camped. It's like we're playing the game. We had to clear each stage, each level to get close to the boss. First from the foot hill then Pang Kok Ka, Sam Haek, Sam Bon, Sam Kok Kok, Sam Koh Sang, Pran Pran Pae, Sam Kok Wa, Sam Kok Pai, Sam Kok Done, Sam Krae and then the top of the mountain. From the foot hill to the top, we had to climb up, up and up. Then we had to walk, walk and walk till we reached the camp site. So much tired but it's worth trying. |
