Tham Nakha - Hin Sam Waan - Phu Tok, Bueng Kan Province . Not just about Shabu...I'm serious about Mu too 🙏🏻 . Tham Nakha is a cave located in Phu Langka National Park, Bueng Khong Long District, Bueng Kan Province, on the border between Bueng Kan and Nakhon Phanom Provinces. Inside the cave, you will find rocks that look like giant snakes or the body of a Naga, which look like the scales of a large snake. In terms of geology, it is caused by rocks on the earth's surface changing temperatures alternately. The physical process causes decay and cracks along the surface around the rocks, called sun cracks. . Hin Sam Waan, one of the tourist attractions in Phu Sing, Bueng Kan Province, is located in the conservation area of ​​the Kala Forest Reserve, Phu Sing Forest, and Dong Si Chompu Forest. This area is full of various shaped rocks, cliffs, and caves scattered throughout the area, creating different kinds of beauty. . Phu Tok is home to Wat Chetiya Sriwihan or Wat Phu Thok is located in Ban Kham Kaen, Na Sabang Subdistrict, Bueng Kan Province. It was founded by Phra Ajarn Juan Kulchettho. The word Phu Thok in Isan means a solitary mountain. There are two mountains here: Phu Thok Yai and Phu Thok Noi. The only part that can be seen is Phu Thok Noi, while Phu Thok Yai is further away. ⭐️The highlight of Wat Phu Thok is the wooden bridge and stairs around Phu Thok, which use only stairs to go around 360 degrees. There are more than 7 floors in total, taking 5 years to build. Each floor has different stairs. From floors 3 to 6, you can walk around. Floors 5 to 7 are considered heaven, where you must be mindful of your body, speech, and/or pray. . #journeywithgirlsเที่ยวกับผี

First of all, I have to say that I personally wanted to go to Tham Nakha before the first wave of COVID, but I never had the chance. That day, a member of my team told me that he wanted to go to Tham Nakha. I didn't hesitate and invited my other friends to go with me. We gathered 5 devotees. This trip took us a long time to prepare, almost 3 months. 🍀How to prepare before traveling☘️ 🏩 Book accommodation-flight-car - Book a flight from Bangkok to Udon Thani, round trip, 500+ baht/person - Book accommodation for the first and second nights in Bueng Kan city (The One Hotel) - Book accommodation for the third night in Udon Thani city (De Princess Hotel) - Book an Xpander car Total expenses for 4 days and 3 nights, 2,500 baht per person *Book accommodation through the Rao Tiew Duay Kan project, got a very good price* Note: We booked everything even though we hadn't booked a queue to go up the cave yet. But to be sure, you should book a queue to go up the cave first. 📱Booking via QueQ At first, the park opened for booking 15 days in advance. We blocked the calendar to book on December 27th. We waited to book and practice typing shortcuts because many people reviewed that it was fully booked since 00:30. But then on November 21st, the park announced that the advance booking would be changed from 15 days to 60 days, starting from November 22nd at 00:01. [Follow the news via Tham Nakha, Pu U Lue Racha, Phu Langka Bueng Khong Long] Advice: You should exercise, practice running, practice walking a bit, and prepare your body. Personally, I go running every morning before going to work. I run around the canal for about 6-8 kilometers. Since I booked the queue, I have the motivation to run every day. 🎒Prepare before going up the mountain - Clothes 👗For me, I dress politely, in comfortable fabrics that dissipate heat well. It would be good to prepare a sun hat because the top is an open area that gets full sun. Most importantly, don't forget gloves. You'll definitely use them. For those who want to bring a jacket, if you think you can handle it, you can bring it up. But we saw many people hanging them at the clothes drying point and picking them up when they went down. 555 - Shoes 🥾 Recommended sneakers. Before going, check the glue on the shoes first. Some people's glue came off while going up because they hadn't worn them for a long time (I warned you). - Food, drinks 🍕 Bring at least 2 bottles of water. You should bring some sweet drinks to sip on the way. You can also bring food upstairs to eat. We focus on easy-to-eat food that gives energy, such as sticky rice with pork and bread (after eating, take your trash downstairs to throw away, or ghosts will come to haunt you). - Smelling salts, candy, fans 🍭 Or if you have a chronic disease, I recommend bringing medicine with you (the guide will actually have medicine with you, such as muscle relaxants and smelling salts. If you really forget to bring them, you can ask the guide). - Bathroom 🏡 You should use the bathroom properly because there is only one bathroom upstairs. Note: It's not very clean. I recommend going downstairs to use it instead. 🏕Let's go up the mountain 📍Pin the GPS to Tham Nakha or Tad Wiman Thip Waterfall only. If you pin Phu Langka National Park, it will take you to Nakhon Phanom. 555 - When we arrive, we can buy tickets at the ticket counter. The park entrance fee is 30 baht per person. Things to prepare to show the officer 1. ID card 2. Proof of at least 2 vaccinations 3. Proof of booking via the Que Q app Note: Once you have booked, you can go up no matter what time you come, but it should not be later than 2 pm because if you go up after that, it will be dark before you walk down the mountain and it may be dangerous for those who are not familiar with the path. - For those who did not book a guide, the park has volunteer guides to lead the way up. You can contact them directly (a guide is required because it is quite steep and very dangerous. As for the guide fee, it depends on what you give. We think most people will have a number in mind before going up, but when you get down to the ground, the number tends to increase. We are the same.) - Distance up the mountain 1,200 meters - Hiking time 4-6 hours, depending on each person's physical condition. Some people take longer. 🙏🏻We started at 11:00. Before going up, the guide asked us to pray to the forest spirits and the mountain spirits so that our ascent and descent would be smooth and safe. Then we walked past Hin Tao. We started to feel the steepness. There were points A-L. The condition of the way up is mostly stairs. The way is quite steep. There are only some areas that require rope climbing. Points A-E, I recommend walking slowly. Don't go crazy. 555. The younger sibling who went with me, when we reached point C, couldn't take it anymore. His blood pressure was high. He kept crying that he wanted to go down. While we stopped to rest, it was the same time that the people who went up in the morning came down. There were continuous voices of encouragement. Keep fighting! Keep fighting! ✌🏻 Just a little bit more (I know it's a lie, but I was willing to be tricked. 555) The guide took good care of us. He kept encouraging us and fanning us. People walking by gave us aromatic herbs to chew. After a while, our symptoms started to improve. Everyone helped build us up to give us the strength to keep walking. I recommend that people with chronic diseases walk up slowly. 5 steps, stop 5 steps, stop. It will save energy. It's a bit slow, but we'll definitely get there. We spent almost 1 hour building us up at points C and D. Hehe. But it's okay. Consider it a break. #ThamNaka

Bueng Kan Province is one of the provinces with good weather and many natural tourist attractions waiting for you to experience. The people in the province are lovely, friendly, and warmly welcoming. Don't miss out on going to experience it. #BuengKan #GoWithTe #NatureTourism

📍🌴Naga Cave is located in Wat Tham Chai Mongkol in Phu Langka National Park, Bueng Khong Long District, Bueng Kan Province. The cave walls are distinctively shaped like Naga scales according to local beliefs. Before traveling, tourists must make a reservation no more than 15 days in advance via the QueQ application, limited to 350 people per day. The trip up to Naga Cave takes about 4-5 hours round trip. It is recommended to go in the morning so that it is not hot. Prepare drinking water because the path is a walkway alternating with stairs and some points require pulling ropes. Don't be afraid of getting lost because there will be officers to facilitate and there are clear signs. Prepare your mind and body. When you get there, just sleep. 🥰🌴✌️

Tham Nakha is another place that tourists are interested in, both for hiking and mountain climbing, and for paying homage to sacred objects that are like sculptures that look like they were made by humans, but in reality, they are not. Many people respect them because their external appearance and the stones are like dragons or nagas in the beliefs of Thai people in that area. #thailand

🐍Once in a lifetime, ask for blessings from Grandfather Chao U Lue Naga of Bueng Khong Long, Bueng Kan Province 🚩If you talk about Bueng Kan Province, many people will think of tourist attractions related to the Naga, such as Tham Nakha, Tham Nakhi, which are constantly visited by tourists. But there is another sacred place that those who believe in the supernatural should not miss, which is #Phra Chao U Lue Naga Shrine at Bueng Khong Long. 👉🏼The shrine of Grandfather Chao U Lue Naga is located near Wat Sawang Wari, Tambon Bueng Khong Long, Amphoe Bueng Khong Long. It is a place of faith where people come to pay homage and ask for blessings from Grandfather Chao U Lue, the Naga King, before going up to Tham Nakha, Phu Langka National Park. Ask for blessings from him for safe travels, prosperous careers, and various fortunes. When we enter the shrine, we will meet the big father who is taking care of the shrine. He is kind and gives advice. He is very friendly and has a true Isan feel. The big father will tie the wrists of visitors to this shrine. #Grandfather U-Lu Long Shrine #Grandfather U-Lu Naga King Bueng Kan #Bueng Kan

NAKA CAVE Phu Langka National Park, Bueng Kan Province A place of belief, faith And the wonders of nature Nowadays, Naga Cave is considered a new and very interesting tourist attraction because it has both abundant trees and amazing beauty, making us feel and feel a sacred place that is truly magical. Naga Cave comes with a legend that it is the city of Bang Bod, a secret land, a legend of a cursed Naga that turned into stone because the shape of the rocks and cave walls are similar to Naga scales and look like a large snake curled up, with important parts such as the head, body and scales. However, this depends on personal beliefs. Whether it is due to the power of faith or wanting to experience the geological beauty, Naga Cave is another tourist attraction that should be seen with your own eyes at least once. #Phu Langka #Naga Cave #Bueng Kan #Bueng Khong Long #nakacave #gotwohere #vlogtravel

Wat Phu Thok or Wat Chetiyakiriwihan is located in Bueng Kan Province. It is a temple located on a high mountaintop. To reach the top, you have to climb many steps. The stairs are wide and point to point. When you look back, it makes you feel dizzy. Your body should be a little fit. The stairs are made of wood. There are 7 floors in total. You can walk around the mountain from 3rd to 6th floor, allowing you to see a 360-degree view. The scenery is very beautiful. The most beautiful spot should be the 6th floor, which has a protruding cliff. You can walk in to pay homage to the Buddha statue inside. Walking around on these wooden stairs requires extreme caution, especially when it's raining because you might slip and fall. The path is on the edge of a steep cliff, so you have to be mindful at all times. It's like a path of Dhamma that wants to tell people to be mindful at all times. This is another unseen place in Bueng Kan Province that you should visit. I guarantee that the top is really beautiful. #Embrace the Mountain

Hin Sam Waan is another unseen tourist attraction in Bueng Kan Province. It is located in Phu Sing, in a conservation area in the national forest reserve. To get here, you have to hire a car and walk a short distance. You will find three large rocks that look like a family of whales, including a father, mother, and child, which is the origin of the name Hin Sam Waan. It is unbelievable that nature could create something this beautiful. If you come in the morning, you will be able to see the sunrise. In addition to Hin Sam Waan, there are other nearby viewpoints such as Hin Hua Chang, Phu Sing Wall, Phu Sing Heart, and Rishi Cave Viewpoint. #Embrace the Mountain

I can tell you that Bueng Kan Province has a lot of tourists visiting recently because there is now a famous tourist attraction called Tham Nakha.

Here, they sell both coffee and food. The atmosphere is very natural. Here, there is a wooden bridge and there are separate seats in ambush. If you have the chance to visit Bueng Kan, Bueng Khong Long District, stop by and visit. #NatureCafe #CafeLife #CafeWithComfortableAtmosphere

It's a small shop near the shrine of Pu U Lue. The coffee, Amaricano Orange, is very delicious. We drank two cups. The noodles are delicious. The stir-fried drunken noodles with pork is very spicy. The atmosphere is nice, the price is not expensive. There are many beautiful trees. The shop is decorated very cutely. The owner and the staff in the shop are very polite, gentle and kind. I like it very much. If I go there again, I will definitely stop by this shop again.
