"Escape the city and explore the wilderness... head to the Seven Bends."

🌳 Have you ever felt the urge to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and immerse yourself in the tranquility of nature? This is the inspiration behind "Escape the City and Explore the Forest: Embark on a Journey to the Seven Bends."

What is Chet Khot?

"Chet Khot Nature Study and Ecotourism Center" or simply "Chet Khot" in Saraburi Province, Thailand, is a name that many people may have heard of or seen on road signs along the way to the Northeast. However, many people may not know what is inside this place, as it is not a popular tourist destination. Most people who pass by tend to go to other places. Therefore, we will take you on a tour to see what interesting things are here that might make you change your mind and come visit.

Why Choose Saptakot?

Saptakot offers a convenient and accessible escape from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. Its proximity to the city makes it an ideal destination for a quick getaway.

The area boasts a variety of recreational activities, catering to diverse interests. Whether you seek a relaxing camping experience under the stars, a tranquil afternoon listening to the gentle murmur of the reservoir, an invigorating hike through the lush forest, or a refreshing dip in the cascading waters of Saptakot Waterfall, this natural haven has something for everyone.

Along the path to the waterfall, you can find rare and beautiful "champagne mushrooms" 🍄, which are only found in a few places in Thailand. These mushrooms grow along the sides of the path and have a unique and vibrant color. However, they are only visible during the months of August, September, and October. Additionally, you may encounter large spiders 🕷 and a variety of butterflies 🦋 along the way, providing opportunities to capture stunning photos near the waterfall.

The "Seven Cascades Waterfall" boasts stunning natural beauty and harmony. The cool and refreshing water invites visitors to take a dip, although caution is advised during periods of high water flow.

🌳This alone is sufficient reason to visit Chet Khot, as the natural environment here offers a wealth of benefits. The tranquility, the joy of being close to the forest and nature, and the invigorating atmosphere all contribute to a profound sense of rejuvenation.

Embark on a journey...

The Nature Education and Ecotourism Center at Khao Chet Khot-Pong Kon Sao offers a camping ground where you can relax and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. Listen to the sounds of birds and water for a truly serene experience.

Upon arrival and preparation of our equipment, we embarked on a trek to the seven-tiered waterfall. Let's go!

The distance from the signpost is just over a kilometer, an easy walk like strolling through a shopping mall.

This is a blank paragraph.

This is our companion, an enviable couple ^^ At this seventh bend, if you come to walk, it is better to come as a group. If something happens, we can help each other. The forest is not very dangerous, but it is better to have friends for peace of mind, isn't it?

Despite the sign indicating a distance of 1.2 km, the destination seems遥遥无期. The path is challenging, with rocks and steep inclines, making the journey quite tiring.

While resting on the way, I turned around and saw a very large spider. I wanted to take a picture of it, but for those who are afraid of spiders, it might be a bit scary. ^^

And finally, after 200 meters, we will reach our destination. However, this 200-meter stretch is steep and challenging, so be prepared for a tiring climb.

After a long and tiring journey, we finally arrived at the waterfall. Despite forgetting to bring water, the fatigue quickly dissipated as we stood by the refreshing and powerful cascade. The force of the water discouraged us from swimming, but we captured its beauty in photographs.

Since I was already there, I decided to climb down and take some photos below. For someone with a good physique like me, it was a bit difficult to get down. The rock formations near the waterfall were incredibly refreshing.

The waterfall's mist is soft and delicate, and the water is cool and inviting. However, the current is quite strong, so I wouldn't recommend swimming in it. Personally, I wouldn't dare to try it. Haha!

The water pressure is extremely high, which is a little frightening.

The waterfall area is teeming with colorful butterflies, offering ample opportunities for photography. These butterflies are relatively easy to capture as they tend to perch on clothing or even on people themselves. It seems they are attracted to salty areas, as they often land on sweaty spots, perhaps mistaking the perspiration for a source of nourishment. In one instance, a butterfly landed on a finger with sweat residue, providing a humorous anecdote.

From the fingers just now 555

I'm not sure if the finger is too big or the butterfly is too small. Haha.

Group work is also available.

At this point, there is a wooden pole that someone has smeared with "shrimp paste" to attract butterflies, making it easier to take pictures of them. It's a technique that makes you wonder, "How did they come up with that?" Haha!

Even the tripod wasn't spared. The little butterfly landed on everything salty, but what does a tripod taste like? 55

After capturing the breathtaking scenery of the waterfall, it was time to head back. But before we did, we couldn't resist the opportunity to search for the elusive champagne mushrooms. Be warned, finding these tiny treasures is no easy feat. Their diminutive size makes them a challenge to spot, and be prepared for some neck and eye strain as you scour the forest floor.

Found it! The mushrooms! This group of mushrooms has hair, which looks a bit strange when you take a close-up photo. Haha!

Upon encountering the first patch, it seemed to summon more. After a short walk, another cluster of red-colored champignons emerged. This particular hue was quite charming.

This lone champignon mushroom stands alone, but it's still cute in its own way. ^^

Encountered another group of mushrooms. This group is adorable, resembling a family with parents and children. Haha!

After taking photos of the mushrooms to our satisfaction, we walked back to the exit. The return trip was not as tiring as the ascent.

And finally, we arrived back at the campsite. Yay! We were so tired and thirsty. The biggest mistake we made was forgetting to bring water. If you plan to hike in, don't forget to bring water with you! ^^

It was finally time to return, as we were all very hungry. In total, the trip took over 4 hours. Recommendations: Don't forget to bring water, snacks, or candy to satisfy your hunger or cravings and keep your energy up. However, remember to take your trash with you and dispose of it properly. Don't litter in the forest.
