East Thailand's Nature is Stunning
that's the entrance to the nature trail oh wow I don't know why but I'm always so impressed when I see [Applause] waterfalls all right all right guys welcome to another video I'm still here in chabur East Thailand and uh I'm on my way to the namok fleo National Park uh it's a little bit cloudy today not too hot as well and I'm a bit off on a late start uh that's because I was just yeah a little bit lazy just hanging out in my room and chilling you know uh sometimes you need some chilling as well not always out and about so but I'm a little bit late it's almost 2:00 and the national park closes at 4:30 so I hope I can make it uh and enjoy my time a little bit there because there's lots of waterfalls uh and you can swim even there so that's kind of my plan even though it's not super hot today but for a Belgian like me it's hot enough it's like a summer day in Belgium almost so let's [Applause] go so guys first I thought it was just cloudy but it seems to be um maybe from The Burning Season so I know in the north of Thailand they have the Burning Season and maybe here a little bit as well I saw actually a wildfire yesterday just one but maybe more farmers are burning the crops and that's the result it's very cloudy overcast and I don't think it's fog actually it's could be smoke honestly I'm really not sure but look at this now it doesn't really smell like smoke but um I don't know there's just something weird about it it doesn't feel like fog only maybe it's like a mix of fog and smoke or I I really don't know but it's I don't have any difficulties breeding or or such things but still it feels a bit weird to me let's get back on the road so I just passed the sign welcome to namto pleo National Park so we're officially in the national park and look what we have ahead of us so gorgeous wow these mountains look so stunning look what we have here it's like all the buildings are built in um Temple style I would say oh I can smell the nature already okay I didn't realize it was such a tourist spot uh as soon as you see these kind of STS you know you're in a tourist spth and uh yeah we are apparently but it's all good it's all good oh I smell durian I smell nature I smell all kinds of things actually we have Buddha here as well I wonder where I can park a bike and also where I do I pay my entrance because uh it's a 200 bu entrance fee apparently for foreigners local should be 40 let's see let's see I think this is the official entrance let's see what we can do here let's see let's see you are here so we will pay our ticket first there's a checkpoint we'll walk all the way up H we can take a nature trail I'm definitely going to do that so I have to cross the first bridge take the nature trail nature trail and then we end up at the waterfall that's exactly what I'm going to do let's go fle waterfall so the waterall it's only 500 M but I'm thinking the long way for once usually I take the shortcuts but not today today we're taking the nature trail let's see how much it is here hello uh one person please 200 uh 200 yeah okay uh what time does the park close huh what uh what is the closing time uh 4:00 4:00 okay okay come C okay we have our tickets 200 B for foreigners and I think 40 it was for the locals thank you thank you okay where's that nature trail for once I'm not taking the shortcut I'm taking the nature trail so if I remember correctly we have to cross a bridge on the left side over the River that is running right here across that bridge and then we will be on a nature trail and that will be the Long Way to the waterfall but I have to hurry a little bit because it's now 2:40 and the park closes at 4: I mean I don't think they will throw me out but I don't know how long that nature trail is so uh worst case I won't even make it to the waterfall that's why I'm in a hurry oh and here you can take a dip this is for swimming let's have a quick look oh yeah wow so many fishes here it's insane I'm sure they feed the fishes that's why they come but damn look at this look at the size wow these fishes are huge hello wow hello wow and these people are just swimming with them the fishes are really not shy that's for sure okay let's find that nature trail now maybe go for a dip at the waterfall oh I should have come earlier I'm so bad at time management typical me typical me always late always late that's the entrance to the nature trail and that's the path that we're taking this one I guess this one this one this one this one this one this one this one all around until we reach probably some kind of Temple and we will pass on top of the waterfall so how long does it take oh it's only 1.2 km takes about 45 minutes tips before tracking study the course as much as possible ask for information from Trav service center well you know what I will do I will take a picture so if I have any doubts I'll have my picture to save myself okay so there's some bamboo herbal plants krabach which is a hisa tree Watering Hole number four that sounds interesting number four Watering Hole termites wow so there's termites as well then we have decomposers here not sure what I mean with that Fus fruit a Viewpoint number eight yeah that's one that one will be nice Viewpoint over the waterfall I guess um yeah and then some other stuff River or of Life the River of Life okay I'm ready let's go first we start to cross the river oh wow nice nice nice you can see people are chilling everywhere and there's so many fish in this River so that means the water is really clear look at this yeah the water is really really clear you can see it looks very beautiful you can see also how clean it is wow well obviously it's a national park but I've been in other countries even in national parks that it's not as clean as this you know uh okay now I need to find a way of course I guess it's up here oh no it's there nature trail honestly I'm guessing that not a lot of people do this nature trail it doesn't look like a lot of people pass here but that's what I love the most if I have the trail off for myself that's a win wow beware of falling branches and look at that that's a whole tree that's not even a branch that's a whole tree okay well this is the way that we have to go this is not going to take 45 minutes well maybe if I go have to go back for my camera all the time then it will my camera got stuck there there's so many little lizards here really that's the only Wildlife I saw so far like lots of lizards but there might be more but I'm not expecting to see uh any elephants here look at this how cool the tree is [ __ ] hell full of V ah oh they're biting I think so so I'm here at the waterfall viewpoint but it's a little bit tricky to see so let's see if I can um get a better angle because as you can see the waterfall is on that side which is yeah I thought I would have a clear view here but it's pretty hard to see also so uh I guess we have to go down to have a good view on the waterfall let's do that because um there's also a waterfall here dripping from my face it's a short Trail but it's so hot and humid here w so Chulas chot chedy what you see right here was built in 1976 by King Rama V 5 in commemoration uh because he came here with his Queen sunanta Kumar and they were so impressed by the beautifulness of this place that they build this um yeah I think it's a stoa it looks like a stoa but um it's gorgeous and the waterfall is actually behind it so let's go and have a look wow wow wow wow wow and we made it to the waterfall look at this I don't know why but I'm always so impressed when I see waterfalls especially this one is a pretty large one and it seems like there's a little pool in front where we can take a dip because um I'm sweating buckets here I need some refreshment let's go beautiful waterfall beautiful I saw them arriving they were like wow wow same reaction as I had it is gorgeous indeed wow I actually love that it's a bit of a cloudy day it gives like a mystical atmosphere here to this whole area because of it's also covered with trees so it makes it extra dark you know and I kind of like this Vibe it's uh more jungle Vibe you know there's a nice little Bridge here wow okay fleo pool and the fleo waterfall and it's like a double Cascade it starts all the way up there even on this side a little bit and then the other part is here down here and it ends up in a pool I think they made this maybe little Dam here so you can swim not sure how deep it is but I will definitely take a dip but uh it seems like there's nobody else taking dips here well these guys a little bit but uh the question is can I take my t-shirt off because I know in some countries they don't I'm sorry do you speak English ah is it okay to swim here swimming is allowed no no 10 me oh but here is okay here swim oh there's the line here oh so here but not there okay okay okay cofin C okay so swimming is allowed that's all I need to know okay let's go for a quick dip because it feels like it's about to rain look at this dark gray maybe my t-shirt will be able to dry a little bit let's see but um I'll go for a quick dip wow there's so many fish here wow all this fish in this water here it's really um I guess a very healthy water you can see here so many fish I'm kind of worried what are they going to do to me I'll go on this side where the fish are enough there really too many fish here it's really weird to swim here w as you can see the waterfall starts actually behind the trees there so I wish I could show you that but uh I'm not allowed to go there and I don't know it feels very weird to swim in this water with all these fish they constantly are like trying to touch me and uh it's not so comfortable and in the meanwhile I'm not alone anymore as well look at this like a whole crowd here so it's kind of awkward to be the only one without a t-shirt here I mean I don't want to flex my sixpack too much you know if you know what I mean well guys it's actually starting to rain so it's time to get a move on uh everybody has an umbrella here but not me hi hi well maybe let's see what is up here first look they even have a a rescue boy here how you call this wow the waterfall is actually impressive it's really cool the only thing I don't like is these fishes I really don't like [Applause] that close already okay okay thank you okay I thought I could maybe have a hot tea but uh it's closed already it's almost 4:00 I think the whole park closes at 4 um so yeah I might not be able to get that hot tea [Applause] that was it for the national park now uh I could really use some hot soup or something something hot uh because with this weather it's actually kind of cold even it's still Belgian summer weather I would say but I don't know I've been for a while in Asia already so I'm not used to this cold weather anymore probably still about 25° but with the rain and a little bit of wind it makes it much colder and I feel like most stalls here are even closed already so I don't think there's any chance that we can get something here but maybe there's like a restaurant somewhere there let's have a look let's have a look so I think I can grab some food somewhere here Sika is the restaurant open rest oh it smells good here already okay thank you oh it's cold here oh can I can I sit outside it's too too cold here cold cold cold I go outside the yeah sorry the AC is a bit too high here okay thank you thank [Music] you yeah I mean I like AC but when it's already cold outside and I'm completely soaking wet I don't want more cold you know and here I have a beautiful view look at this wow do you have any specialty uh the specialty from here maybe do you have something uh soup with soup soup yum oh Tom Yum because it's cold I want some soup maybe Tom Yum which one tom yum this one hot and stour spicy [Music] chicken yeah maybe I'll go for the tomyum guy B uh I can do a l large one uh 200 okay for one person spicy uh medium little spicy little little little spicy yeah yeah uh let's see also some uh water please water water I H okay okay okay yeah so it seems I'm having Tom Yum again but this one it's a tom yum guy something so it's Tom Yum with chicken I'm having too much Tom Yum here in Thailand but uh it's cold weather right now and I needed a soup and honestly the thing is I don't have any idea what to order and they they offered me like Tom Yum I'm like okay I'll do tom yum I'm the only guest here uh of course it's not really dinner time I'm having a late lunch early dinner it's like 4:00 right now so um that's why nobody's here I guess and also when it rains nobody will come here because it's too remote um yeah people stay in their homes I guess and it's also a Friday it's not weekend in the weekend I'm sure it's more busy here as well but I'm looking very forward to my [Music] soup so guys my food has arrived and honestly it looks so good and it smells delicious honestly look at this crap fried rice so we have the crab on top then a fried rice with some egg carrots spring onions oh looks so good then of course some spicy chili oil then some normal chilies I guess and then here we have the Tom Yum ooh hm with what should I start now honestly I think I will start with a tom yum cuz I'm in a soupy mood now I'm probably I can even mix the rice and the tomyum so let's do that okay let's get some of that Tom yum oh they added Tomatoes even I think it's the first time I see tomatoes in the Tomo that's with chicken oh it's chicken with bone though so it's um a little bit different than the chicken tomyum that I had before it's chicken on the bone not my favorite but it's all good it's all good but uh let's give this a try ooh nice and sour or like that M yeah the only thing I don't really like the chicken on the bone I'm really not a big fan of that should I even eat this like it's so tricky to eat you know you really need your hands for that it's really annoying crab fried fries M oh yeah so nice now the ultimate tust rice with a little bit of f that's the best com little bit of rice dip it in the tomon so good yeah if it keeps raining like this I think this might be the end of the video soon because uh didn't stop raining for the time that I've been sitting here look at this still Still Still Still raining okay thank you time to go okay thank you thank you back into the rain wiggle but uh yeah maybe if I make my way to chanta B which is about 30 minutes driving maybe just maybe it's not raining there let's see let's see but it's highly unlikely I would say and the price was 300 B okay guys made it back to my humble aboard finally because the rain was really painful you know that feeling when you're on a scooter or on a bike really fast and the rain is like hitting you right in the face even in my eyes on my arms and it was actually cold also um I didn't expect to have cold here in Thailand but it is actually cold like I'm completely drenched you know completely wet luckily I'm wearing a swim short but I'm completely drenched so I'm going to get my shoes off here so they can dry a bit and then uh I'll give you a quick tour of my place here let's first uh turn on some light okay so yeah I've been here for a few days so uh it's not that clean anymore or I mean it's pretty clean but it's not as organized anymore so we have a little table here KingSize bed which I really love TV smart TV so I can watch YouTube and everything it's really cool um there's a refrigerator also here some honey that I bought here in the local supermarket I've been here for a few days now some coffee yeah obviously instant coffee and then my clothing here another little table I even have a balcony I didn't use it yet actually but I really love it though it's really cool and look in the backyard I'm really surrounded by Greenery here I love it yeah I love um that's kind of the reason that I chose this place uh it's like 10 minutes from chanbury but I have a bike so that's no problem and um yeah it's so quiet here like I sleep so good here honestly like from the last almost two years that I've been traveling I think this is the place that I sleep the best the reason for that is it's so quiet here at night and the other reason is also the AC you can put it on quiet and I know that's a functionality that exists on many AC's but you know it's so quiet here at night uh the AC is right there and I put it on quiet mode also and it's so perfect it's really good and then here we have the toilet and the bathroom shower I did my dishes here as you can see bathroom so yeah uh and the price is I think it's about $15 per night which honestly is a really good deal like actually I could live here if there would be a kitchen so if there would be a kitchen somewhere a small kitchen it would be perfect to live here even with two people because you have like a balcony you have one little table here table there it's really perfect here but uh yeah it's time to take a hot shower because I honestly oh I'm freezing I'm not even kidding like look at my skin I'm freezing Goosebumps so I need a hot shower and uh yeah but um I want to thank you all for watching and you already know if you're still watching you're a legend legend
