Hello, I'm Jack, a travel enthusiast who often gets stood up on dates. So, I decided to be cool and take a solo trip in style.
Yeah, it's good. If you want to go, just go. You don't have to wait for anyone. You don't have to think too much about plans. If you want to change, just change.
Get to know each other better, want to say hello, talk, ask for advice, anything is fine, but don't ask to borrow money.

If you want to see beautiful waterfalls, the rainy season is the perfect time.
Today, let's take our friends to soak up the refreshing spray of the waterfall cascading down the high cliffs.
Haew Suwat Waterfall and Haew Narok Waterfall, 2 waterfalls on Khao Yai, can be visited in 1 day.
You can still stop by other places if you leave early in the morning. We believe you'll make it.
*****Khao Yai National Park, Tap Lan, Pang Sida, Ta Phraya
And Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai Forest Complex has been declared a "World Natural Heritage Site" by UNESCO.
Under the name of the Dong Phaya Yen-Khao Yai Forest Complex Group on July 14, 2548.
Friends, are you aware of the current situation of "Dong Phaya Yen-Khao Yai"? It is concerning that it may be blacklisted as a World Heritage Site in danger.
Our country has a problem with illegal logging of Siamese rosewood. If we can't solve this problem, this forest may not be a World Heritage Site anymore.
Honestly, Jack just found out about this too. *******
Information about Khao Yai National Park can be scanned by QR CODE.
Let's get started. It's not often that Jack plans his trips in advance.
Usually plan when leaving home
This trip is well-planned. In terms of the route, we have explored that going through Prachinburi is closer than Pak Chong.
If you want to stop by the route, you can go to Pak Chong. There are many beautiful places to stop and take pictures. Restaurants, accommodation
The beautiful photo spots are located along the Pak Chong route. However, today we only have two waterfalls as our destinations. We want to spend a lot of time at the waterfalls.
If you're coming from Prachinburi and have extra time, you can exit at Pak Chong and explore the attractions along the way.
A one-day trip requires an early start. Set your alarm for 2:00 AM, aiming to leave Bangkok by 3:00 AM. Drive steadily, allowing extra time in case you get lost or need to stop at a gas station for food.
The park entrance fee booth opens at 6 am, so we should arrive around opening time.
We had a relaxing trip, no need to rush, and we were able to return to Bangkok in the early evening. It was great!
But!!!!!!! As the name suggests, the trip was a disaster, even before we left home. On Sunday morning, I bounced out of bed at 6 am.
This situation feels familiar. Damn it, I fell asleep and didn't hear the alarm clock again. 55555
Okay, okay, 6 pm is still okay. We left around 7 am, took the Rangsit-Nakhon Nayok route, the road was clear, so we should arrive early. Let's stop to fill up the air at the gas station near Khlong Song.
The first pump only filled one wheel, the machine broke down. Let's go like this. Go to the second pump, fill it up, and it's even more peak.
The car won't start. Ugh, what bad luck today! I met a guy and asked him, "Sir, could you please take a look at my car?"
The car still wouldn't start. Finally, the owner of the rice shop next door told me there was a garage nearby and offered to send one of his employees to get a mechanic.
The technician brought a battery and connected it to my car. The car started right away. It turns out that the battery was dead. It's been 3 years, so it's time to replace it.
Today I had to go far, drove around to the garage, changed it, spent 1800, ohhhhh, one day trip near Bangkok, starting at 1800
Come on, it has to change.
Here we are, not even close to the destination, and the budget is already out of control.
We've been here for a long time. Let's move on. I feel relieved after changing the battery.
Drive towards Nakhon Nayok on Highway 305.
Turn left at the third intersection after kilometer marker 72 to enter the city center.
Drive a little further and you will see a sign for Khao Yai and Prachin Buri. Then there will be a three-way intersection. Turn right.
We will enter Highway 33 for approximately 21 kilometers. There will be a roundabout, please turn left.
Continue driving along the road, passing Dasada for a while, and you will reach the Khao Hin Hom toll booth.
The entrance fee for Khao Yai National Park is as follows:
40 Thai adults, 20 children
Foreigners Adults 400 Children 200
Motorcycle fee 30 baht, car fee 50 baht.
About 400 meters from the checkpoint, you will find the Tourist Service Center.
Drive for about 10 kilometers and you will find the entrance to Haew Narok Waterfall, but we will not stop there yet. We will go to Haew Suwat first.
The path on the national park is very beautiful. I like the winding path.
We drove through a lush green forest, feeling a sense of contentment.
In the end, being with nature, exploring the mountains and forests, this is our true happiness.
However, I couldn't capture everything in the photos. 555 There was no shoulder to park on, and there were many cars following me. However, there are parking spaces available at intervals along the way.
The road wasn't very nice where it was parked.
Drive straight ahead and you will find the entrance to Pha Diao Dai. Do not turn.
Go straight and you will find 3 forks. Turn right and you will find Lam Takhong camping ground. Drive further and you will find Pha Kluai Mai camping ground.
We are almost there! It's about 3 kilometers away. The road is quite curvy, so please drive carefully.
We have arrived at the Haew Suwat Waterfall parking lot, approximately 25-30 kilometers from the toll booth.
This place has a convenient parking lot, restrooms, and a restaurant.
A short walk from the parking lot
The first section is flat.
There is a viewpoint to see the waterfall from above.
From the smooth path, continue with the rather steep stairs
We'll be at the waterfall in just a moment.
The Huai Suwat Waterfall cascades down a cliff, approximately 20 meters high.
The area around the pond is filled with small and large rocks. You can climb them easily to take pictures from different angles. Don't worry, it's not slippery and easy to walk on.
Butterflies flitted about, but not in a group.
No swimming here, please.
****It is said that the name of the waterfall, Haew Suwat, comes from a thief named Suwat who fled from the authorities and was cornered at this waterfall.
So she decided to jump down to the pool below, but there is no evidence to support this. It's just a story that has been passed down.
I was able to capture images from various angles. The good thing is that swimming is prohibited, otherwise the photos would have been filled with people.
Because there are a lot of people visiting here, it is a waterfall that is easily accessible.
I like the corner under the cliff.
We sat here for a while, quite a long time actually. We spent a lot of time exploring the waterfall, finding the perfect angle for photos, and just sitting and enjoying the natural beauty.
Arrived at the waterfall at noon, left the waterfall at half past two in the afternoon.
After 5:00 PM, visitors are not allowed to enter the waterfall area due to potential danger from animals.
I haven't eaten anything since this morning. I'm so hungry. I need to refuel before we go on another adventure to the waterfall.
The food is running out, so let's eat what we have.
A bowl of noodles costs 40 baht. The taste is good. After eating, please clean up the dishes.
Hey!!!!!! Everyone ready? If you are ready, let's continue.
Drive back the same way.
We have arrived at the parking lot.
Entrance to Haew Narok Waterfall
Along the way, there will be viewpoints to enjoy the scenery.
The translation is:
It's about a 1 km walk from the car park, followed by 200 steep steps. It's not easy, I must say.
It's really steep, not far to walk, but the stairs are brutal.
Looking down, I remembered how I felt when I went up and my heart wasn't feeling too good. 55555
The waterfall has a total of 3 tiers. The first tier is approximately 60 meters high, with water flowing over the cliff face. This water then flows down to the second and third tiers.
The next address is nearby (strangely, the 1st floor is on top). If you want to visit the 2nd and 3rd floors, you must have an officer to guide you.
But just going down to the 1st floor, my legs were already shaking. Be careful of the cameras as well. The water at Haew Narok Waterfall is high.
The water spray is coming in full force, like standing in the rain. Be prepared to get wet. It's not wrong to put up an umbrella or wear a raincoat.
I could only get this angle, and there was only this path for us to walk down. The photos I took are full of water droplets on the lens.
The trees in this area must be happy.
Haew Narok Waterfall has a restaurant and restrooms available for visitors.
After 5:00 PM, visitors are not allowed to enter the waterfall area due to potential danger from animals.
Leaving the waterfall at around 5 pm, feeling happy. Going home to sleep, feeling comfortable and peaceful.
That's it for today's journey with Jack. The waterfalls are especially beautiful right now, so I encourage everyone to go and experience them for yourselves.
I hope this review will be helpful and inspire many people to travel.
Experience is not for sale, you have to travel to get it.
