What we’re about
https://www.facebook.com/BangkokHiking/
This is a group for anyone interested in hiking in Thailand. All skill levels are welcome, but you should be physically active and able to do intermediate to moderately strenuous hikes. I started this group to meet other outdoor enthusiasts. I would like to plan day trips/overnight trips from Bangkok on the weekends (especially holiday weekends) to explore the beautiful natural areas of Thailand. Anyone with experience or knowledge of Thailand's nature areas and an interest in the outdoors is encouraged to join!

Optional
- Let's help the starving dogs at Lopburi's Khao Wong Prachan Temple!!
- We noticed that the temple dogs and their puppies looked very hungry the last time we were there. Ordinarily, tourists would feed them treats and food, but with the rainy season upon us, less people are trekking down the trail to give these dogs a hand.
- In this trip, we will prepare dog food in the package of 500g to the temple's stray dog. We're going to need your assistance to carry the package up while enjoy the beautiful hike and the view of one of the Biggest Buddha image.
- You can put a bag of dry food in your backpack, hike to the top and donate it to the temple there. Cost of dog food is included in the trip price.
- Ocean, Hiking, and Secret CanyonUdom Suk bus stop exit 1, Bang NaTHB 1,700.00
If you miss the sea and hiking, we are organizing a day trip to visit both the island and hiking. We started it off to see the secret viewpoint, snowy mountain. A new photo-taking destination for local Thais, this place is located near Pattaya and not famous to foreign tourists yet.
Then we continue to Lan Island, we are going to hike across the island, passing the island town to see the viewpoints along the way and the birds-eye view of the island bay. Then we will get some time on the beach, to do our own favorite things, from just laying down on the beach and read a book, swimming in the warm ocean, or just walking around. We catch the evening ferry back to Pattaya, and return to BangkokGet Ticket: https://www.bangkokhiking.com/one-day-trip/ocean-hiking-and-secret-canyon/
