We weren’t ready at all. This whole trip was very spontaneous and had no idea how to get there. The friendly guards, told us that if we have no car, there would be no way how to get up there unless we wanted to walk all the way up there in humid 30 degrees without a bottle of water. Of course they had a plan. We could hire one of their government bikes for 500 baht for 24 hours. Any extra hour would cost 100 baht. We decided to take one for the two of us. But the two of us were too heavy for the bike and the second bike wasn’t working and they still needed one bike to do the patrol. So no bikes for us. We were screwed. There was no way that we would walk all the way up to the visitor center in this heat.
