  • Here’s something if you want to know what to do in Nakhon Nayok. In this video I hike to an amazing location of natural beauty and mystery in Thailand, Khao Hua Muak in Nakhon Nayok Province on the edge of Khao Yai National Park . I take you to an amazing standing rock that makes you ask yourself how and when did it get there? It also made me wonder if a man could move it?
    Myself and Baldy Brian (Baldy Brian in Thailand) also visit a Temple and some stunning cliffs in the same area.

    Another nice to watch adventure!
    I was questioning my fitness level seeing the terrain you were conquering and came to the conclusion that I am better suited to guarding car and ensuing all is well at base camp!
    Probably joined by @Atriz by the looks of the comments...😁
    Thanks for taking us with you - very nice to see and enjoy another unknown beauty spot.

    By the three minute mark I was already tired thinking of the climb myself. Sort of reminds me of my days wandering in the wilderness of Alaska. No trails no nothing for miles around. Your channel is addictive to watch many places I have yet to wander to.

    • @karlsthailand
      @karlsthailand  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, that hike was east at first but the end was so steep. I’ve never been to Alaska, it looks like try wilderness. Great, I could do with a few more people addicted to my channel lol. Thanks

    Hi Karl, On these hikes have you ever considered taking a Hydapack with you? Basically a bladder that you strap to your back which contains about 3 liters of water or beer depending on our preference vs carrying a water bottle.

    • @karlsthailand
      @karlsthailand  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not really, I am aware of hydropacks though. As it is I’m quite happy to carry water in my pack but next time I do a multi-day hike I might look into it. Cheers

    Looks like a decent but hot hike through the jungle and, as usual, you have to work a bit for the best views. Hmmm, is that why you invited me along to the next one; extra weight for boulder shoving?? 🤣
