#Travel to save the world Review of traveling to "Khao Soi Dao Wildlife Sanctuary", Chanthaburi Province If you are looking for a peaceful natural tourist attraction surrounded by lush green forests, beautiful waterfalls, and the opportunity to get close to wildlife, Khao Soi Dao Wildlife Sanctuary is one of the destinations that should not be missed. Highlights of Khao Soi Dao Khao Soi Dao Waterfall: The highlight here is a large waterfall with up to 16 levels. The hiking trail will take us through lush nature. The sound of the waterfall and the sound of wild birds will add pleasure to every step. > Note: Open for viewing only up to the 5th level for safety. Bird and wildlife watching: This wildlife sanctuary has rare birds such as the Great Hornbill, the Khun Plan Bird, and many other wildlife. Suitable for bird watchers and nature photographers. 100% natural atmosphere: No bright lights or chaos from the big city. Suitable for those who want to escape the chaos and relax. Travel From Chanthaburi city, it takes about 1 hour to drive (about 70 km.) The route to the wildlife sanctuary office is quite convenient, but you should drive carefully, especially during the rainy season. Facilities There are houses and tents available (book in advance) There are staff to provide information and take care of tourists closely. The toilets are clean enough, but not as comfortable as other tourist attractions. Things to know You should prepare hiking equipment, such as non-slip shoes, flashlights, and drinking water. Do not litter or make loud noises because this is a conservation area. You should not hike alone. You should have a guide or officer to lead you. "Khao Soi Dao Wildlife Sanctuary" is a destination suitable for nature lovers who want to recharge in the middle of a large forest. The beauty of the waterfall, the tranquility of the forest, and the opportunity to get close to wild animals are what make this place impressive and worth visiting at least once. I recommend it.

#Tourist attraction Hello friends, #trip people. For people in Chanthaburi, in February, there is an event that can be called an annual festival of Chanthaburi. 🌙 It can stimulate the economy very well. 💸 Every year, there are a lot of tourists visiting. 💵 🌼 Rak Luang Chan Wan Dok Mai Ban Festival This year 2568, this event has been held for 23 consecutive years. But every year, there are still similar activities, such as an orchid contest, a stage to showcase various talents. At night, there is a concert by singers, and various booths from the university. 🌾 ✨ But the highlight of this event is the food and strawberries. 🍓 You can choose from a lot, including famous foods from various provinces, famous foods from online platforms, and 80 strawberry varieties. 🍓 This year, there were a lot of customers as usual. And there is also a famous Khanom Tan shop that you have to wait in a long line to eat. This is another tourist attraction that people in Chanthaburi have been waiting for.

Khao Khitchakut is located in Chanthaburi Province. It is a sacred place with a footprint of the Lord Buddha on the mountaintop. It is open for worship once a year during the Buddha's Footprint Worship Festival (around January-March). Tourists and pilgrims like to travel here to ask for blessings for good fortune. To travel up the mountain, you must use a four-wheel drive vehicle and walk up a steep path, a total distance of about 5-6 kilometers. But the atmosphere along the way is full of beautiful nature. At the top, there is a viewpoint where you can see the scenery of Chanthaburi as far as the eye can see. Precautions: • Prepare your body because the path is quite steep. • Wear shoes suitable for hiking up the mountain. • Check the opening hours before traveling. Suitable for those who have faith and like challenging trekking and experience the sacred atmosphere on the mountaintop.

#Get a discount without relying on luck "Red cloth" Khao Khitchakut Red cloth of faith of the Buddha's footprint To the highest point of Khao Khitchakut The origin is that the red cloth tied was to warn those traveling up the mountain that the distance after the red cloth tied is a dangerous path with a cliff. Going further is dangerous. When someone tied it, the people who came up tied it too. Until it became a belief that if you go up the mountain and don't reach the red cloth, it means you haven't reached Khao Khitchakut because it is considered the highest point. There is a trick for those who intend to come and ask for a blessing. Ask only one thing that you really intend to ask for, whether you ask from a deity or a deity. It is believed that it will bring success and fulfillment in every way. The fun part of me walking up to the red cloth point is that I got lost with my friends from walking up to the Buddha's footprint. I had been up for a long time and didn't see anyone. Oh, they must have all gone up to the red cloth. So I quickly climbed up and thought that going down would be easy. But..... When I reached the point before the red cloth, it was a steep path to walk down. From my experience, I thought that when I went down to a certain point, it would be a steep path to walk up. I was right. Almost gave up and walked back because I thought going up was tiring and going down was tiring... But the feeling of getting lost with friends and being afraid that they would wait for the result was that when we got up there, we didn't see anyone :) I had to come down alone. Note: When I went, the weather was good, it was drizzling, so walking wasn't hot and tiring. Let's go worship Buddha.

The atmosphere is shady and relaxing to the eyes. Pay homage and ask for blessings from the sacred things. The reservoir with a very relaxing atmosphere, come to Chanthaburi. This city is worth visiting. Waterfalls, mountains, sea🏝️🌲🗻

#Get a discount without relying on luck Phra Phutthabat Khao Khitchakut (Phluang) The top of Khao Khitchakut mountain has a footprint of the Lord Buddha, which is commonly known as Phra Bat Khao Khitchakut or Phra Bat Phluang, located in Phluang Subdistrict, Khao Khitchakut District. It is home to the highest footprint of the Lord Buddha in Thailand, more than 1,050 meters above sea level and considered the highest in Khao Khitchakut National Park. The “footprint of the Lord Buddha” appears as an imprint on a large rock slab, approximately 2 meters deep, 1 meter wide, and 2 meters long, discovered on the top of Phra Bat Mountain, about 4 kilometers from the Khao Khitchakut National Park office. The tradition of worshiping the footprint of the Lord Buddha at Phluang, Khao Khitchakut, Chanthaburi is a sacred tradition that Thai people highly respect. Worshiping the footprint of the Lord Buddha at Khao Khitchakut or Phra Bat Phluang is a festival in the third month that has been practiced for a long time. Originally, people started to go up to pay homage on the 1st to 15th waxing moon of the 3rd month of every year. However, recently, it has become more well-known among people with faith, both Thai and foreign, so the worship time has been extended.

Khao Khitchakut⛰️

This was my first time traveling to pay homage to the Buddha's footprint on the top of Khao Khitchakut in Chanthaburi, which a close friend had invited me to. I thought it was strange and worth going to make merit here with my friends. You can only make one wish, and you have to come 3 times for that wish to come true. Then your life will be better. The merit you receive will increase. More good things will come into your life. Your mind will be calmer and more joyful than you've ever felt before. It's like you're full of merit. That day, you'll be happier than anything else in the world. Come down and experience it for yourself, and you'll know what it's like to make merit and be very happy.

#triptravelchina 📍Address: Khao Khitchakut, Chanthaburi Province Highlights 🌟 This route is not open all year round. It is mostly open from February to April. 🌟 My friends and I booked a car to go up the mountain. *We recommend updating the travel method every year. 🌟 Following the footprints of the Buddha, which are marks on large stone slabs about 2 meters deep, 1 meter wide, and 2 meters long, found on the top of Khao Phra Bat, about 4 kilometers from the Khao Khitchakut National Park office. 🌟 Prepare your body because it is very tiring to walk.

People from all over the country flock here with faith to climb Khao Khitchakut in Chanthaburi at least once in their lives. Due to its steepness and height, tourists can walk up, but it is a bit tiring. However, it is recommended to take a local pickup truck, which is more convenient and safe because they are experts in the area. When you get there, it is truly heaven. You must pay homage to the Buddha's footprints, and the cool, foggy mountain air, combined with the sacredness of the place, is the traditional time to worship the Buddha's footprints once a year, at the beginning of the year. This year, 2025, it will be open from January 29 to March 29, 2025. Anyone who has faith, find a chance to visit.

#Get a discount without relying on luck #Khao Khitchakut #Chanthaburi check-in #Worship and ask for blessings #You can travel in one day For those who have the power of faith, we have to park our car at the point and then buy a ticket to take the temple's super fast shuttle bus to go up to the next walking point. The path is steep, so rest when you are tired. There are alternating concrete paths and walking paths. It's easy to walk with many friends. We will go to worship and apply gold leaf to the Upside Down Bat Stone first or go to the Red Cloth first, whichever is more convenient. Some people only come to the Upside Down Bat Stone. Go to the Red Cloth, the end of the walkway, and it's a long way. When you get close, there will be fewer people. The weather is cold because we went up at night and came back early in the morning. For those who don't like the heat, it will be dark. But the view + taking pictures will not be very beautiful. Prepare snacks and drinks to go up. It takes quite a while to walk. If you buy them at the top, it's a bit more expensive.

Please help preserve it for our children. General information In 2013, the Phra Bat mountain will be open for climbing between February 11 - April 11, 2013. We invite tourists to climb Phra Bat mountain to worship the Buddha's footprint, see the scenery and various strangely shaped rocks. Khao Khitchakut National Park is located in the Khao Khitchakut or Phra Bat forest area, Makham District and Khao Khitchakut Subdistrict, Chanthaburi Province. It consists of mountains and beautiful scenery. The highest peak is 1,000 meters high. There are beautiful natural conditions such as Krathing Waterfall and geological phenomena related to Buddhist legends, especially in terms of religious beliefs about the Buddha's footprint on Khao Khitchakut. It covers an area of ​​approximately 58.31 square kilometers or 36,444.05 rai. In 1958, the President of the Niyom Prai Samakhom Association wrote to the Minister of Agriculture, proposing to preserve Khao Khitchakut forest in Chanthaburi Province as a habitat for animals and establish it as a national park. The Royal Forest Department therefore ordered the Sri Racha Forest District to coordinate with the Chanthaburi Provincial Forest Department to proceed and issued Order No. 852/2517 dated July 30, 1974 for Mr. Sompol Wannakun, a forestry expert, to conduct a preliminary survey. The survey results, according to the survey report dated June 16, 1975, found that the area was mountainous and complex, with beautiful natural conditions, including caves, waterfalls, and abundant wildlife, making it suitable for establishing a national park. The National Park Division, Royal Forest Department, therefore proposed to the National Park Committee, which resolved in its 2/2518 meeting on October 22, 1975, that it be appropriate to issue a royal decree to designate the Khao Khitchakut forest area as a national park. The Royal Forest Department therefore proceeded to request the revocation of Khao Khitchakut Forest, which was a national forest reserve, according to the Ministerial Regulation No. 49, announced in the Government Gazette, Volume 82, Part 39, dated May 11, 1965, from being a national forest reserve first, with an announcement in the Government Gazette, Volume 93, Part 108, dated September 7, 1976. Later, Khao Khitchakut Forest was established as a national park, with a royal decree defining the Khao Khitchakut forest area in Tambon Takhian Thong, Tambon Chaman, Tambon Phluang, and Tambon Wang Saem, Makham District, Chanthaburi Province, covering an area of ​​36,687 rai or 58.70 square kilometers, as a national park. It was announced in the Royal Gazette, Volume 94, Part 38, dated May 4, 1977, as the 14th national park of Thailand. Later, a royal decree was issued to revoke some areas, totaling 242.95 rai, announced in the Royal Gazette, Volume 115, Part 64 A, dated September 24, 1998, leaving the Khao Khitchakut National Park area of ​​36,444.05 rai or 58.31 square kilometers.
