Being rushed for time I couldn't spare 3 days for the trek-and-camp tours they led up Phu Kra Dueng Mountain in Phu Kra Dueng National Park. I checked out their tour itineraries and it seemed rather slow-going. The benefit of these trips was that the guides/porters would carry all of your overnight luggage- a little lazy if you ask me- plus I never really like being led on a tour at the speed of a large group.
The trail was clearly marked and didn't break off. I decided to walk alone at my own pace. I wasn't going to stay over night so didn't have any heavy luggage- bottles of water, snacks and camera equipment in a small day sack.
I left early and met my first sign. It was the break down of each section of the trail- a lot further than I first thought.
The mountain is famous for its flat plateau on top covered by grassy savanna, but to get there you had to walk from the bottom.
From the car park to the top/edge of the plateau was 5.5km trek of steep mountain paths.
Once at the top it was a 9km flat walk skirting around the southern edge of the plateau to the view point. This particular view point was popular for its photo opportunity of an over hanging rock sticking out from the cliff.
