October in Phu Kradung

October Rain

Mid summer of 06 I’ve got critical change which might effect even my daily today’s life. It’s something about I’ve got tendinitis on both my ankles from exercise. Doctor said I might not once good in walking in nearly future. Then, this is big motivation for my life in trekking. Where ever I have to set feet on, I will.

My first trip is Phu Kradung.

They’ve said Phu Kradung is the first for beginner. It’s easy to use public transportation – I disagree. However, my first trip with night bus with my oversize build seem wide awake and ain’t funny. With good ability of highly sensitive to light and sound – I’ve got earplugs and blindfold. It’s not such bad for whole night. One, really disappointed thing was they’ve tried to wake you up for midnight meal. It’s really annoying matter ever. I wish, I could, turn back time and told the inventor of this event to stop such idea, it’s so irritating.

5 am we shall arrived at stop where surround by shops which look so wonderful like mini shopping town. You can have everything you ever want here. Shops, people, foods, toilets, and so on. If you patiently wait awhile – a ferry truck shall arrive and pick you up to park’s office which not afar.

After registered – it’s time to move it, move it. Morning air was once slightly cool and hot during it’s trail. Stalls were available for foods, drinks, snacks, toilets, and else thing. It’s gonna took 2 hours non-stop to it’s peak called “Lung Pae”

Lung Pae is its flat  top of Phu Kradung which almost the flat like table top of this peak. We might took 1 hour to reach office. The smarter idea was reserve a room with park’s. Room is bundle with mattress, pillow, blanket, and the best is it’s safe from local mafia – deers.

Deers are hunter of Phu Kradung. It’s gonna rob, stole, invaded, chase, and destroyed everything you’ve had even a tent. Not only deers are your big enemy, Small but scary leeches always everywhere to be reach. Believe in me – don’t dare chasing your dream tent.

With it’s flat like table top, beautiful flora, flowers, trees, and faunas – plus good ambient and weather. Phu Kradung is good choice for beginner, trekker to made a good photographs. In my case, it’s not a good and last visit to Phu Kradung. I believe it so
