Khao Wong Phra Chan: Go up one day, rest your legs for one week.

At Khao Wong Phra Chan, Lopburi, there is an annual event that is open 24 hours a day until February 12. If you want to test your leg strength but are afraid of the heat, you can go at midnight or 2 a.m. or wait for the sunrise. Today, Lin went up at around 3 p.m. There were still a few people walking around. There were even fewer people at the top. If you don’t want to walk and get stuck in traffic, you can go before evening. This is a concrete staircase with 3,970 steps. Each way is 1.68 km. The path is quite steep. The ascent and descent are on the same path, but divided into two lanes by iron railings (left-handed people will have a hard time walking). There are rest stops and signs at intervals. You don’t need to stock up on water to go up. Drinking water, smelling salts, gloves, and instant noodles can be bought on the side of the road, but it’s a good idea to bring cash. There are no scanners at some points. The restrooms are in shops, so you can ask to go in. I recommend dressing modestly and wearing sports shoes that don’t bite. Some people gave up because their costumes weren’t suitable. At the top, there are footprints of the Buddha. Along the way, there are Buddha statues for you to pay homage to. There were also monks walking along. Lol. Lin thinks that going down is easier. On the way up, when you’re almost there, you’re really out of breath. Along the way, you will hear strangers walking past each other giving encouragement. A guy walks down to cheer on a guy walking up the middle of the way, telling him to go all the way. Last year, he came to pay respects and went back and got a million baht. Lin eavesdropped and almost walked back up. The guy walking up asked how he got there. The guy said he worked....
