Yes. It’s actually changed very little since the 90’s which I’m quite pleased about. Cheers

Were you not afraid of any dangerous wildlife?
@karlsthailand 8 күн бұрын
Not really. I’ve seen tigers in the wild here before but a long time ago (look at my early video about a tiger attack) but they’re so rare it’s not a real fear. I do respect wild elephants because you can’t argue with an angry elephant. On this trail the biggest danger is probably the snakes but on all honesty you rarely encounter them. Cheers

You made that lad's day when he recognized you Karl. Great reaction...That rock looked very sharp. I'm just recovering from a gash in my leg that exposed my shinbone so I know it doesn't take much to slice you open...It looks like it took you a bit longer than it would usually have done. Great work as usual.
@karlsthailand 13 күн бұрын
It made my day too tbh. That rock is so sharp and there’s loads of it in Thailand, so easy to get a scrape or worse, glad to hear you’re recovering Mark. Yes, the crowds really slowed things down which I wouldn’t have minded if it hadn’t been for the sun. Cheers

Conkers/conquer lol. It’s a great hike but there’s no doubt that the queues meant spending far more time waiting in the sun than would have been ideal. Some of the ladies on that hike were a bit distracting tbh. Cheers

Drives me crazy being able to look at the mountain from my patio knowing I’ll never make it up there. But after watching this I’m glad I gave up on the stair section. My knees just wouldn’t have made that. Really enjoyed seeing what I’m missing out on though. Thanks. I’ll have to settle for the stunning view from my patio. Pretty nice consolation prize, I love Prachuap Khiri khan, couldn’t have settled in a better place. IMHO
