SCARY Hike in Kanchanaburi THAILAND That Will Leave You in AWE!

[@Steven-xg2yl]

How the he'll you don't get 50k plus views is beyond me I love your vids mate

[@karlsthailand]

Thanks very much, hopefully I’ll get to 50,000 views per video when the algorithm wakes up lol

Right. It makes nonsense this doesn't have more views. I just found a year later.

[@vintageexcellence]

@@huahin6149maybe if he tells bar girl stories while hiking the count will go up 😆

Wow, this is best watched on a big screen in 4k, and with a tight grip on the armchair sides. Awesome views and really cool vlog. Thank-you Karl for bringing us such an amazing side of Thailand.

[@karlsthailand]

This is the truth, I’ve only seen it on my iPhone so far and it’s not even a big iPhone…I both record and edit my videos on my iPhone. My pleasure Phil, glad you enjoyed it

Thanks Alan, it was quite an adventure, glad you enjoyed it

It was all looking quite comfortable until that rope came into play. I wouldn't want my first visit to Burma to be via the side of a mountain. Great work as usual Karl, your love of what you do is clear to see.

[@vegarduhre]

Wow, this is amazing! I was looking for good hiking videos when I came across this. Thank you so much, Karl :) Hope to do this hike one day

[@karlsthailand]

Glad that you enjoyed it. Thailand has so much to offer but so many never get the chance to experience it. This one was also one of my favourite ever hikes in Thailand and I thoroughly recommend it. Cheers

[@destinationsroadslesstraveled]

Those mountains remind me much of Alaska walking for miles on the ridge tops. Took a few nasty falls in my time totally alone but have fond memories. I will not be climbing this peak but hopefully some others soon. Good that you can inspire others to try something outside their safety zones.

[@karlsthailand]

I’m sure everything in Alaska is on a much bigger scale but Thailand does have much more to offer than most will ever see

[@lt9413]

really amazing Karl. Does no one use poles in Thailand? I feel like I would me more nervous without them. I love hiking, but one thing video's don't capture is how painful the way down is on the knees. Thanks for sharing. This is certainly a bucket list hike.

[@karlsthailand]

I like hiking poles Vince but they just don’t work for me while I am holding a gimbal in the other hand

[@chrisyarnold6205]

Like Crib Gogh and Striding Edge on one trail only bigger. Truly remarkable trail. They've lost a few on Striding Edge as well recently Karl, which I remember us traversing with full packs and head torches, as we were a little late on the trail. Couldn't have beaten the views there though, stunning.

[@karlsthailand]

It is a great hike hike Chris and striding edge is a pretty good comparison. I remember that hike well, carried all that kit up and then didn’t use it. As I recall the hike down was tough but we made it back in time for a few in the pub lol

[@Sukhumvit246]

Just found your channel and it's awesome mate, i'm from Scotland and spend half the year in Thailand. Love climbing and doing the Munro's in Scotland and would love to do some hiking when i'm in Thailand. After watching your channel i'm definitely going to have a few trips hiking around Thailand. Is there any decent books you could recommend for hiking and trails in Thailand ?

[@karlsthailand]

Tbh I don’t know of any such books, definitely not in the English language. Most of the stuff I see is from random posts on the internet in Thai. Some of the best hikes are arranged by the National Parks. They’re very good but hard for foreigners to book because of the language barrier as it often involves accessing Facebook pages in Thai script. If you’re here for half of the year you have plenty of time though. Glad you enjoy my channel. Thank you

[@boxcartwilly]

Very cool place 50 bht for a pepsi up there very cheap, I am surprised there are not more accidents with everyone carrying their phone in one hand filming. Great video 😎👍

[@karlsthailand]

The Pepsi was a bargain, it turned so hot on that ridge when the sun cut through and the guy who carried it up had earned it. Yes, I often feel that I need a n extra hand when I'm making these videos. Cheers

[@huagrapo]

My legs start to go a bit wobbly just walking the South West Coast path in Cornwall; I'd have no bloody chance at this. Absolutely stunning though, would have loved to try it in my younger years.

[@karlsthailand]

That’s possibly my favourite video of mine. Just a stunning place. It wasn’t that scary…well just a bit lol. Cheers

[@jamesanglin3032]

Karl that was Great!.And somewhat shaky a time or two... You definitely need to try a helmet cam.. Thanks Again Jim

[@karlsthailand]

Cheers, that hike was beautiful and I’m pleased with the video. I do have an action cam now and might experiment a bit. However I still like being able to frame the video as I want it rather than just have the cam recording what’s directly in front of me. I might try using both and just using whatever shore I like the most. Cheers

[@vulcshop]

That was intense Karl 😱 I like hiking but I'm scared of those sorts of heights😅 ... recurring nightmare be like ; Stuck on narrow cliff, can't move up or down, pants are soiled due to paralyzing fear, god I hope the helicopter 🚁 is coming🤣🤣🤣. Day 3... my situations has not improved 😂

[@karlsthailand]

Lol. It was only scary for a pretty short section but the rest of the hike is just stunning all the way

Thanks Mark, hope you are well. Someone did fall in 2017 but luckily survived. The cost of the hike is about 1000 Baht including the hire of a tent and blanket.

[@KPDigitalTravel]

I want these adventures but I wouldn't have made that one. I get vertigo too and am sure I would have glanced right or left at some point, got dizzy and fell to my death. 😲 as for holding a gimbal at the same time...I fell down some stairs today in my house holding a gimbal so I am sure I couldn't hold it on this trip. #truestory. 😀

[@karlsthailand]

The gimbal is a bit awkward sometimes. I find the stairs in this part of the World a bit less consistent than in the West so don’t be too hard on yourself over your gimbal accident

[@mccall7122]

This is amazing. Can't wait to go out on these epic hikes. Have you ever had problems with wild dogs, monkeys or snakes? How do you handle them?

I've been chased by a herd of elephants while I was in the back of a pickup and have seen wild tigers twice but that was a long time ago. Snakes don't bother me much and neither do monkeys apart from the fact that they are thieves. I tell the stories of my wild tiger encounters in this video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5yUo6SAg72njtU

Love your videos. Question, though: I am in BKK and want to go on a trek in one of the parks, but don't know the best way to do it. Are there mini tour ops?

[@karlsthailand]

You can hire National Park Rangers at some of the National Parks to take yourself or a small group hiking but it’s best to start early and ask at the HQ. The cost is usually 500-1000 Baht depending on the trail. If you go to Khao Yai I would recommend trail 5 as it’s long enough to be a challenge and has a variety of terrain

Hey Karl, next time you do a high angle deep decent treat it like you are climbing down a ladder with your head facing upward, your body towards the ground and your feet downward. Much easier and safer than your head/body facing upward and your feet downward.

Unfortunately most of my decisions are dictated by the fact that I have a gimbal in one hand and want to get the right shot lol

[@theuntoldtrails]

Hi Karl, love your videos, I will be travelling to explore North Thailand, I have few queries on these treks. Do these treks need a guide or is it DIY? In case it's mandatory to Trek with a guide, will the officers in the national park help us?

[@karlsthailand]

This particular trek has to be through Thong Pha Phum National Park. Actually they might only operate it in the Cool Season. They’re not expensive but you’ll probably need a Thai person to book it for you in advance. Takes a bit of planning but well worth it. You can hire porters who will carry up to 30kg up and down and put up/take down your tent for you for 1500 Baht per hike.

You need to spend one night at or near Thong Pha Phum National Park HQ because you have to register your attendance for the hike a 6am and also spend a night at the campsite up on the ridge. Please be aware that this hike is only available at certain times of year. The best bet is to find their number on Google and get a Thai person to call on your behalf well before you wish to take the hike
