Trailhead. Park in the empty area to the left and start up this road to the right.
First of many creatures we stumbled across.
First farm peeking through the trees.
At the bottom of this hill, you'll switchback. Don't go into the marked private property in front of you.
The switchback.
Locals cleaning freshly harvested carrots. They were delicious. We'd meet them on our way out as they were finishing.
Split in trail. Head to the left.
Dangerous Barbed wire that's been knocked down to shin level. Watch out!
A barbed wire victim.
At the edge of an orange grove, we stopped for a rest and some traditional Thai medicine on the leg. Fortunately a traditional Thai farmer came up to watch.
Split in Road, go to the right.
Picking mushrooms and other veggies along the way.
Pretty steep hills.
A completely burned tree that's still standing.
Some kind of tiny plant. I can't decide if it looks like a shrub or ganja.
Really colorful caterpillars. These guys will sting.
Pit Viper, Most poisonous snake in Thailand. I would have loved to get closer but didn't want to die for a photo.
Cross this gate and down a little way you'll turn sharply back to the right and down to a creek.
You're on the right track if you see this.
Lot's a lot's of fallen bamboo. Lots of stooping over in this section.
Bees! The tree is filled with them. Just duck and slip through. Watch your backpack so that it doesn't stir them up.
Local farmer's house.
These guys are awesome.
They first look like a mass of moss or something.

Story
Nice 5 1/2 hour hike through jungle and occasional farms. Lots of little critters and interesting plants to see. This is located on the road north of Mon Cham so you need to turn off before the MonCham road and loop around the back. Bring plenty of water because it is hot. If you're lucky you'll have some cloud cover and that means you should have some sort of rain protection.
Some beautiful things to be seen but don't handle them. Several can be either dangerous or cause nasty inflammations.
