In the morning we shall ride to north to Chet Si waterfalls
first. This
magnificent waterfalls located in Phu Wua Wildlife Sanctuary ,
are a popular weekend destination of many locals especially
during the rainy season. Huai Ka-am river that flows down a high
sandstone mountain that is enclosed by dense forest, created a
number of cascades, waterfalls and sink holes where the people
cool down under the rainbow coloured spray of water.
Chet
Si” means seven colours in direct translation. Animals found
here are: elephant, tiger, clouded leopard, bear, deer, wild
boar and monkeys. We shall take a walk
along the stream with seven levels of waterfalls to the top. We
shall refresh under the falling water and in the river cascades
(water level varies during seasons).
After lunch we shall visit Phutok forest
temple. Phu Thok is a huge rock outcrop rising abruptly from a
plain in Bung Kan district. A winding network of wooden
staircases and walkways leads to the top, where there is a
magnificent view of the surrounding area. Near the top is
Wat Chetiya Khiri Viharn, a meditation temple. The climb
involves stretches of walkway that cling to sheer cliffs,
making it "once in a lifetime experience". Accommodation with breakfast in
Bung Kan. |
