Wat Ban Tham, Happy Leg Day in Kanchanaburi, Thailand

Kanchanaburi is the 3rd big city in Thailand, which had so many history and place to visit and explore.
But sadly, since I am solo traveller and I come in a low season, there is almost like nothing that I can do.

Well, there is no tour group that I can take, so the only way to reach some place, I need to order grab.
Spend a lot of cost in the way to reach some destinations, but all I can say is that is totally worth it.

Today I visit Wat Ban Tham, didnt know there is gonna be a very high and long hike, which is fun actually.
Didnt bring my water bottle, I almost die and I wonder what happen if I cant make it. Haha

Are you ready to see some temple after long walk and hike ?
I didnt know anything, but just knowing there is some temple in the hill, so why not ?
Lets go, without water bottle !

At first everything felt good but I never expect the hike will be very long and tired.
In a sunny day, less people around too.
OMG, this is wonderful, killing my leg instead.

This place surely cool.
Have some temple, in middle, in top and in super top.

Since I hike alone, it is quiet horror, and I find a cave that I think I can go in but I decided not to go in.
Things like, trust your guts ?

It was dark in the cave, and right now I wonder, if I go in, what gonna happen and what I may see ?

See the rope ?
Now I am wondering, and I do wish that if I can come back again, I will do it for sure !

So, the total hike is 700 step according to the local informations.
When I hike, I didnt count because I felt like maybe this is the end of my leg.

I do know about it after I asking some grab driver when I went to another destinations.
I also didnt know the God name in every place, but I do respect on everything as well.

There is a rest area, which have a toilet without light.
The water is clean with brown water, and I totally understand why there is no light in there at all.

This is the middle stop, when I think the journey and adventure is end but it is not.
The view from this point is already amazing, so I think why not to continue until the very top ?

Giving up in the middle of hike because I am alone and scare ?
That is totally not me at all.

Lets see what is on the top, shall we ?

Honestly, after I reach this point (the top), the vibe is kind of different.
I not dare to walk and see and take a picture into it, but I can felt it.

Hiking in here felt like I went into the forest and must be ready if there is a snake.
Since everything is rock and this is a hill, taking risk like that is not in my agenda.

But, if I had my water bottle, I surely will do many many things along the hike in here.
So, plan to go back next time with the hope that I can really enjoy it as much as I can.

Other than hike, there is also a beautiful cave.
Everything is free !

No entry fee, some food and drink stall before you do hike.
Its totally worth it and I really miss out a lot of good spot because I am too tired, which I regret right now.

I book a ticket to go Thailand again in May 2027, with a hope that I can make it happen and re-visit this place again ?
I think why not ?

But this time, I surely need to rent a bike !
Should I drive from Bangkok or just stay and rent in Kanchanaburi ?

There is a lot of place that I not explore yet in this city, and I do wish, in 2027 I can and really be a better human !
We never know what future gonna bring us, so just try to enjoy every momment without worry about anything.

What I regret the most is that I am worried a lot, so no matter how good and beauty a place that I visit, all I see is just a chart and losing all my happiness.

I wish, this years be the last years I facing things like that.
And whatever happen next, let it be !
