Good morning! I'm Nick. This is Khun Namtarn.
We're now going to try and climb Thailand's 5th...
or 6th or 7th-highest mountain, depending who you talk to
Doi Langka Luang
2 days ago we climbed Doi Luang Chiang Dao
which is Thailand's 3rd-highest mountain
and we were with about 300 other people
and today we're doing this and I think we're going to be the only people on this mountain
We're planning to camp on top
with the snakes and the tigers
all alone. What could possibly go wrong?
Now we are at the entrance
of Doi Langka Luang Nature Trail
at a radar station.
The sign says the length is 17km.
People say that the scenery is very beautiful, so let's go!
Last we stayed at the far end of this walk
Ban Mae Ton Luang
The village chief kindly drove us over this morning
so we could start here, which is a radar station
so that we've got a different route down from the one we're taking up
We're on a downhill already
There'll be plenty of uphill later
Just on the first big ascent of the walk
It was nice and cool at the bottom but it doesn't take long to heat up eh
Su Su! (fight fight!)
So we got to the top of the first peak
after about an hour and fifteen minutes
That's where we've come from
down there. The radar station
and this is where we're heading, through the trees
The next peak
The national park staff have put these little yellow squares along the route, which is quite helpful
but to be honest it's quite well worn anyway so
it's not really a problem following the trail at the moment
Maybe this is a wild chestnut.
I'm not sure what it's called in English.
I don't know too
Some sort of nut
That's as much as I know
It's from this very big tree.
It's 10 past 11 and we're about halfway
so we're going quite well
and there's some very impressive peaks up to the left
I don't think we're going up that but I'm not sure yet
Pha Ngom 150m. Campsite 50m
When I said I wasn't sure if we were climbing that peak
on the left
The answer's "Yes"
And it's hard. It's all loose dirt and really steep
We've got the lightest camping gear
and cooking gear that we could get hold of
but we're still carrying about 8 litres of water
At least we started with 8 litres of water
cuz I think the biggest danger of something like this is getting dehydrated
So at least that will get easier as we drink it
So there we go. We're on Doi Pha Ngom.
1700m
and on top, are the remains of a Thai flag
and there in the distance I believe is where we're headed
Doi Langka Luang
Now we've reached Doi Pha Ngom
1700m high
We're heading to Doi Langka Luang summit , this way
There's Namtarn, coming down from that peak
and there's where we'll be descending tomorrow
and there's where we're heading now
We've got one big valley to go until we get there
There's a lot of burnt trees up here
I'm not quite sure why. I'm not sure if it's been done deliberately or
why they would do it or if it's
even lightning. I don't know.
If you know, please let us know.
So we're not on the last big ascent
and I'm going for my secret weapon
which is Peachy apple, mango and banana purée
baby food
Full of everything you need. Let's give it a go.
Mmmm...
Calories! It's calories, right? Come on.
Looking back to Doi Pha Ngom, where we just crossed earlier
It's quarter to three, and we're getting near the top now.
Just looking back where we've been
I think a lot of that haze is smoke from all the forests that they're burning
which is a bit of a shame. Apparently it gets worse as well
later in the season towards March, April
We've found ourselves at this camp spot which we might use later
So we need to turn a bit of a sharp left
and finish off the ascent
and see if there's anywhere to camp up there, with more of a view.
Just round the corner, this nice little statue of Buddha
Might have to say some prayers in a minute
How are you feeling?
Neuai (tired)
Me too
We made it finally
Just past 4 o'clock so we've been walking for 8 hours
There's the radar station in the distance
Here's the sorry remains of a Thai flag
That's where the final ascent was from
There's a very tired Namtarn
and here's a little shrine marking the summit
So we'll set up the tent right here I think
It ain't pretty but it's up
Will it stand tonight's hurricane? That's the thing.
It'll be alright
Someone's about to pass out
not from climbing a mountain but from blowing up a mattress
On wood-gathering duties while Namtarn sets up camp
on top there.
Good morning! It's 6:48
and the weather is windy and cloudy
See the clouds whistling over the trees behind us
So we're going to get packed and make and early start, before it gets hot.
Doi Langka Luang, 2031m high
Cannot read that one
"Forest of water. Name very high"
(wind noise...)
Namtarn's setting a blinding pace
I think she's in a big hurry to get down now
There in the distance in the cloud, we think is Langka Noi
which is the last peak we'll be climbing today before the final descent
10 past 9. We're making good progress through the jungle.
but we should have brought 10 litres of water and not 8
We're actually on a different route from what we planned but
we're following these red and white ribbons
which are being laid apparently for a race
that somebody's going to do soon
(crazy people)
So following those, and the route that most people have taken before
seems to be further up there
so hopefully we're going to join up again at Langka Noi
Doi Langka Noi, which is the next peak we're heading for
We're actually following the Chiang Mai - Lampang provincial border here
so fingers crossed.
On the other side of this valley...
will be the other route that people take
up there
but I'm quite enjoying this one. A very nice, gentle walk
Up there, Doi Langka Noi. Noi means small
whereas Luang means big
There's a small shrine on there called a "sathup" in Thai
We're told that there's some water up there
We're praying that there is cuz we're getting quite low
If there is I'm going to brew up the best cup of tea I've ever had
Fingers crossed
WATER!... HERE!...WATER!
I am going to drink so much water
Get it down!
Quickly quickly!
all of it
Ahhh.... Nam! (water!)
water!
They've even made a nice pipe for us to drink from. How thoughtful.
Here is the most delicious camping food.
Bread, cheese and bread
How to make a sandwich very easily
cucumber
sandwich mixture
Cheese and cucumber sandwiches, right?
made in the mouth
Tam ari yuu ka? (What are you doing?)
Ab nam (shower). I'm ab namming
Nao mai? (cold?)
I'd like a full shower but it is cold
The best hi-tech, ultralight drinking water bottles on the market
made by Nestlé
Well the path obviously doesn't go down there, does it
so where does it go?
We're on top of Doi Langka Noi
That's where we've come from
Namtarn's had enough I think
There's the view down to the valley
We have a brutal descent waiting for us in a minute
At Baan Mae Dtoon Luang village the main occupation is to growing coffee.
This is a coffee tree.
Now is harvest season. We can see the red beans.
The villagers here will not cut down big trees to grow coffee.
Because coffee needs shade from big trees.
They plant coffee in the forest
Under big tree because coffee doesn't need sunlight a lot
And how are your feet?
Jep maak (hurt a lot)
How are your legs?
Buat maak (ache a lot)
Coffee here is the arabica species
We'll buy some of that at the bottom
We already had it at the beginning, right? And it was very nice
We will show how to make coffee
Oh cool, OK.
And this will be a 3 hour video, right?
Right, let's go. The last bit
Nearly back in civilisation now
Nice broad track that vehicles could come up
So it shouldn't be long
and I know someone who's going to be very pleased to see the end of this
What is this?
This is the flower of Trevesia palmata
Trevesia palmata. Can eat?
Yes can eat. It's bitter
I'm shooting video
Trevesia palmata flowers
Bitter
Is it delicious?
Bitter
If you like bitter it's delicious
Bitter like coffee?
Yeah, bitter like coffee
Really!
We have come from Doi Langka Luang
We're very tired
I went there before when i was young
I went there to catch some insects for sale
We didn't see any animals
(The insects) live in high trees. Now the price has dropped
Now they are farmed
They were exported to Japan. Male and female bred there
So now they don't have the same value as before
Tell him he's the first human we've seen for 2 days
You're the first human we've seen for 2 days
In the forest nothing to see
My wife is coming now
Pea Eggplant (bak kang)
In the northern language it's called "bak keng"
You can see them in green curry; small seeds like nuts
Looks like the green nut in green curry (eggplant)
Ah yeah, I know
Very big tree. Normally it's small
But in the jungle, very big
We made it! Yes!
Happy New Year?
That was 3 weeks ago
Back already
Will you show us how coffee is made?
Yes
She will make coffee
It's Khun Malee, who owns the homestay
and she's busy washing coffee beans
Red berry, right?
She put in this machine for cutting the skin off
Last night put the water in here
She soaks them overnight
Thank you for watching. It was an awesome hike but...
quite a serious hike, so if you're going to do it...
you need to be fit like us
and take a lot of water
2 litres per person per day
plus 2 litres for the camp
because it's a long way from humanity up there
and we didn't see anyone for 2 days and it's heavy going
and it's hot, so be careful
If you want to see more videos like this please subscribe
and I'll be putting the routes on a couple of sites
so look in the video description for that
and Khun Namtarn is going to do a blog
Yeah, maybe Pantip
So we'll put a link to the blog as well
down below
See you next time. Bye
