The Amazing Hike to Naga Cave Thailand (Part 2)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 кві 2022
- This is a great hike from Phu Langka National Park Headquarters to Tham Nakha otherwise known as the Naga Cave ถ้ำนาคา in Bueng Kan Thailand. Most people take a shorter route to the Naga Cave but we decided to make a real adventure of it. If you’re wandering what to do in Bueng or Nakhon Phanom then this might be the answer. It’s a beautiful hike up a mountain through unspoiled forest บึงกาฬ นครพนม
This Thailand adventure travel vlog is the Sixth in a series based upon a trip to travel Issan (North East Thailand) that I have just completed.
I travel with Jimmy (JB Wanders) and John. John, who is 59 years old has recently taken some major life knocks including a divorce and being told as recently as as last October that he had only a 50/50 chance of surviving an illness.
John flew to Thailand at the end of last Year determined to turn his life around and also have a great time. In his first 3 months here he managed to lose an incredible 55lbs in weight through fasting.
Although John was having a great time (He’s been visiting Thailand for 20 Years) he’d never explored further than Bangkok and Pattaya. A chance meeting with me and later watching my videos made him wander what else Thailand had to offer…particularly adventure.
So where to go in Thailand? John heard that I had a trip coming up to various locations in Issan (North East Thailand) and asked if he could come along too? I warned him that we had lots of strenuous adventures planned and he assured me that he felt up to it after his weight loss and exercise routine.
Anyway, how did John do? You can find out in this video of a trip we did to the mystical Tham Nakha (Naga Cave). Most people take a shorter route to the Naga Cave but we turned it into a long adventure by hiking there from the Phu Langka National Park HQ

I am happy you appeared on Paddy’s channel because I always thought you deserve much more viewers!
Thanks for saying that, It was good of Paddy to ask me to be in his video
How great are Thai people, there is always a helping hand, it never fails to amaze me!
Yes Alan, some people only experience them in the major tourist centres where they can become a bit jaded but upcountry my experiences with them are rarely short of great
I climbed the steep side with my wife and brother in law last month. We also climbed to Erawan Cave last summer, but this was the most difficult hike I've taken post 50 years old. The Thai's were encouraging each other with exclamations of "fight" and "strong" during the brutal climb. We also visited the Three Whales rocks, which feature more stunning views. I'm 53, weigh 18 stones and damned thankful I gave up smoking four years ago and cut back on beer or they'd have had to carry my dead carcass off that hill. ;-)
It's a great hike George and the Thais have attached a lot of mystery to it which adds to the fun. Yes, lucky you packed in those cigarettes lol. Cheers
Really enjoyed that Karl and not just because I am in it haha. The picture quality and colouring are fantastic! That ranger certainly saved the day; the coke he gave me gave me a sugary boost that propelled me down the mountain. The hike we did that day was pretty impressive and I loved almost every minute of it!
Cheers Jimmy, yes, that’s a great hike, interesting from beginning right to the end
Loved every minute of the journey and loved every minute of your wonderful video. Thanks again for taking me on such a great journey
Thanks John, it was a pleasure to have you on board and well done for never backing down whenever the going got tough through all of our adventures. Let’s hope we can have some more together
Interesting and nice too see Kalle 👍
My life is not going the way I’d like, to see that man enjoy himself cheered me up a lot.
John’s a special guy, he’d taken some knocks but turned it into a passionate drive to make changes and move forward. In case you didn’t realise we made quite a few videos on the trip that you can watch
Over 3k subscribers, congratulations - well deserved!🇹🇭
Thanks Inspirational Thailand
Just subscribed after seeing you with Paddy, got many hours of catching up to do but so looking forward to it.
Thanks so much Audrey, Paddy was great, cool to have you on board and enjoy the videos
Hi caught you on Paddy's Chanel, so will check out your content. I also have been travelling Thailand for 30 plus years and hope to be back by mid year to stay for a year.
What I have found useful in the descriptions of other vlogs are the use of Google map locations. Cheers and beers from Oz
Good to have a fellow long term traveler as a subscriber. If you need any help finding some of the destinations then just ask Jonathan
awesome video and achievement which you make look effortless!!!. loved the drone footage...amazing! Great adventure 👍
Thanks Mark, tbh it was more tiring than hard
Stunning views. Thank you Karl.
Cheers
I just found your channel yesterday and have the enjoyed the videos I seen so far. I am in a similar age group and find your perspectives meaningful and enjoyable. Keep up the good work
That’s nice of you to say so Robert, good to have you on board
Amazing Place, must go there, thanks Karl.
Thanks Jonnie & Annie, it’s an incredible place, I have hiked there 4 times already by all of the routes
Really enjoyed that one Karl. You could imagine camping out somewhere along that escarpment, but would involve carrying a lot more weight. Pretty brutal in that heat!
It’s a great hike Chris and yes, I’d love to camp up there sometime. The extra weight wouldn’t bother me tbh but yes, the heat up there can be intense and there are no sources of water on plateau
Good trek Karl, many thanks/
Glad you enjoyed it LIA
Great Stuff
Thanks John, glad you enjoyed it
Stunning views would love to do something like that in Thailand
Thanks Owen, it does take a bit of planning if you want to take the longer route that we did but you could probably hire a National Park Ranger to guide you. I’d done it on my own once so had the gps tracks already
@@karlsthailand Cheers Karl
Or just let me know next time you are coming out here and maybe we can organise something together
@@karlsthailand Ok pal will do that would be a good day out
just subscribed and so looking forward to your views. I'll be retiring there in a few years. cheers 🍻
Great to have you as a new subscriber Virginia. I hope that my videos will give you some great ideas for when you move here
Dont understand why u only 3k subs...will be 5 before mid year....great channel karl...live in pattaya as well..its certainly a good base😊
I hope you’re correct Alan, thanks and probably see you around then
I live 25 minutes from Naga Cave- have not tried it yet!
I love the place AIT, been there 4 times already and I live 100’s of miles away
@@karlsthailand I need to prepare for it. Right shoes, gloves, water, first aid. Maybe a stunt man! LOL>
you lucky man carl !! kenny b nottingham
Thanks Kenny, I really enjoyed that hike
The Polar Bear Club of the Arctic Circle gives your cool video three paws up!!! ʕ·͡ᴥ·ʔฅ ʕ·͡ᴥ·ʔฅ ʕ·͡ᴥ·ʔฅ Three Cheers!! I am now a subscriber! Thanks for taking us along!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks, it’s good to know that people are watching my content in Alaska and I hope that you enjoy going through my content. Welcome
My mom told me about some person walking into the naga cave but was stuck in there turns out the person was cursed by something 😂
No idea lol. It's a great place to visit but full of superstition, some of it perhaps a little contrived. Cheers
