We started our journey from the train
Train 303 Lak Si - Lop Buri - Van to Khok Samrong, get off in front of the health center, cross the road and take a motorcycle to the temple for about 5 km. There will be a male assistant to pick up and drop off, even though it is a weekday. It is easy to get to, not difficult, but it takes some time.
We arrived at around 9 am. This time, I went alone. On weekdays, Monday - Thursday, it is very quiet. If you have friends, you should invite them because we did not meet anyone except for the vendors at the first shop before going up the mountain and the shop above, the assistant. There were only two shops open.
We walked along. The stairs are short. We could only walk one step and two steps, but walk slowly. Be careful not to trip. The stairs at the end, 3,000 steps, are steeper. As for the weather, it is hot at times. For us, it is not too hot. The atmosphere is just right. 😁
We walked for a while. When we were about to arrive, we arrived. We rested to recover from exhaustion, then went to pay homage to the Buddha's footprint, threw lots, prayed to the Buddha, and walked down to the cave below to pray to Mae Nang Prachan for a peaceful and safe life. Amen.
On the way back, we called the assistant to pick us up and waited for the van back to Lopburi Bus Terminal. (Right now, we have to wait a long time for the van. We have to call the queue at Nong Muang to ask what time the van will leave. You will know that there will definitely be a car. Peace of mind)
Arrived at the bus station Lopburi - Angthong - Suphanburi bus station, let's go find Phi Pan 'Don't worry mom I'M HOMƎ' next. A cute and chill coffee shop. The owner is a hiker. Stay tuned.
Train fare Lak Si-Lopburi 24 baht
Motorcycle fare from the train station to the bus station Lopburi 40 baht
Van fare to Khao Wong Phrachan and back 80 baht
Van fare to Angthong 50 and Suphanburi 45 baht
We have the motorcycle taxi number for the entrance to the temple. If you are interested in going without a personal car, feel free to ask. I'm off 😊
