After waiting and waiting, only 2 guys and 1 girl are available to join the trip. This journey is 4 days and 2 nights travel by bus (Mueang Loei Tour) from Bangkok to Loei (around 500 km), 530 baht per each. Departure around 9.30pm and arrive at Bird Cliff around 5.00 am.

Now is time to prepare ourselves. this stop is where you can catch the next bus to the national park and there is a well known shop call "Jae Kim". There are needed stuffs for travellers and also there are many many toilets for everyone to shower and clear themselves. Then we have our first meal at the food court there. In the afternoon, everyone who finished the trip will come here to prepare themselves for going home because they also sell bus tickets. However, we suggest that make plans and book the tickets ahead because buses are not always available if it is full you will have to wait for another day.

Here we are!!! Arriving but still dark so we can have more time to prepare ourselves


Starting point "Jae Kim Shop"


Behind the scene is "the Bird Cliff" ^^

Stand by Buses will depart at 6.00 am

After do this and that, we wait for the bus to depart at 6.00 am we buy bus ticket at ticket box near the waiting area, it is only 20 baht per person to go to the national park.


Fees line for national park

When we arrive at the national park office, we have to pay for all the fees such as entry fee and stay fees. If you want to rent a tent or sleeping bags, there are also available. It like you can go with nothing just your heart and money ;-)

Then we have to go to carrying service point. if there are many travellers, we have to share the work; one on the line and another one at weigh measurement. We pay for carrying service at the arriving point when we get our stuffs back. If this is your first time, we suggest that you come as early as you can because if you get there late all carry men will have to walk down through the dark and it is quite dangerous.

Stuffs Weigh Measurement point

After measurement, carry man will pack our stuffs

During February, it is a low season, not many people, trees are changing leafs and make it look dry but still full of nature.

Real starting point : Register here in case of emergency, who are you? How many people? where are you from?
