Exploring the Enigmatic Giant Rock Whales of North East Thailand
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- Bueng Kan is one of Thailand's most beautiful yet under-visited Provinces. In this video I show you the mysterious 3 whales Rock, a place that is steeped in local legend but only just appearing on the tourist radar. 3 Whales Rock is within Phu Sing National Park
Unlike some of the place I visit, this one doesn't require much hiking as pickup trucks take you from the National Park headquarters to the 3 Whales Rock and other natural wonders and viewpoints within Phu Sing National Park, North East Thailand.
Here's a playlist of my popular videos about Thailand in the 80's and 90's

last scene, nice finish wanting to tip the kid. I'd feel guilty afterward if I didn't. always wondered abt that, and if it was different for adult guides than a kid.
great video xxxx
Another one for our bucketlist😊👍 MERRY CHRISTMAS Karl!❤🎅🌲
Thanks so much. it's well worth a visit.
I keep watching these video vlogs and writing down places to visit. I might need a new note pad soon. Luckily this place was already written down. Thanks for the video Karl
My pleasure Paul, there’s plenty to see in that area. Cheers
I'm yet to do this lication; I'll get there eventually. I would have definitely had a dip in that little pool. Lol. Great video, Karl.
Cheers Brian, that area has so much to see and do. Happy New Year
Hi Karl, you and your channel are great! We also love the less known (and also known 🙂) parts of beautiful thailand. Thanks mate!
My pleasure! Thanks, yes Thailand has so much more to offer
Jeez, don’t like heights too much Karl, my sphincter was flapping when you was on those rocks with the wind blowing 😮
it was a bit choppy up there lol. Cheers
This looks amazing! Merry Christmas Karl, all the best mate
Thanks very much and all the best for the New Year
Another cracking video. Thanks once again to the location finder company, the production team. Director, Director's trans friend, Executive producer - his mum, Costume department care of the nearest thrift shop, make-up by Loreal, the child actor, child actors chaperone, child actor's union, her uncle, local Toyota dealership, Go-Pro, Drones 4 U, the bald headed geezer....the list is endless. Well done. Excellent.
Cheers Greg. I'll pass my regards onto my film crew as always lol
Lucky your camera didn't go flying into the jungle there Karl. Beautiful footage as usual, and nice of Ploy to take care of your knees with her little step system!
Ploy was pretty good as a cameraman’s assistant too Mark. Happy New Year
Fantastic to see, that’s a lovely trip. Merry Christmas to you and loved ones🥰🍾
Thanks Paul. I wish you a great New Year
Fantastic drone work Karl, i really enjoyed. Keep up the good work and i look forward to more in the new year.
Cheers Cliff, got plenty to come as I catch up on all my editing. Happy New Year
I have passed through this province several times but never had reason to stop until I saw your experience with the Rock Whales. Thailand has so many hidden Gems and it never stops giving.
Bueng Kan is a hidden gem Nick, quite a few locations there.
Thanks for this Karl, will have to go there and do that tour, lovely remote province.
Thanks so much for your support TTL, it's appreciated. It's not too far from Loei either lol. Cheers
Great vlog the drone coverage is so good I sent you some buy me a coffees for Christmas. Hope you received them and happy New Year keep up the great work
Thanks so much for the coffees and your continued support of Karl’s Thailand Brett. It is appreciated. Happy New Year to you
Been there last year and went as well with Ploy and her uncle.....she took great pictures on the mama and papa whales haha....then came back to Phu Tok a 2nd time !! Chok dee na krap Karl and sawadee pee mai in advance :)
Cheers, she’s good with a camera isn’t she. Happy New Year
Hi Karl ,Merry Christmas 🎄, amazing content once again, and scenery , the drone work is fabulous it seem3d a very peaceful place except for the sounds of nature . Must take a trip there myself , take care and thanks for all the brilliant content throughout the past year 😊
My pleasure Glyn, good to have finally met. Happy New Year
First, have a Merry Christmas Karl🙏
I've seen another video of this hike but the views are so spectacular that it can't get boring 👍
I don't know the financial background of Ploy so it might be ignorant to say how lucky she is. The uncle seems to be doing well. Anyway the point is as a child I had plenty of undeveloped land and hills around me that I used to spend a lot of my free time hiking through them. This is in Los Angeles.
And a Happy New Year to you. The National parks can be good like that, offering different kinds of employment opportunities to the locals. However she is doing she is growing up in one of the most beautiful parts of Thailand and she seemed happy. Cheers
Good morning Carl , every time one are family come to visit us we go there we even took my mother in law in a wheelchair 555. You can see for miles and the river looks fantastic, love the health and safety tape to stop you going over the edge 555. Nice one again.
That’s great, hope the wheelchair has good brakes! I’ve been there many times now but you can’t miss it if you’re in the area. Happy New Year
Awesome scenery, I'd say it's only a matter of time before someone is lost over the edge, it looks so precarious.
I've no doubt it has happened before but at the same time I think people should be allowed to visit. Thanks
Hey Karl what's the geology there? You mentioned lava but it looks sedimentary. It reminds me of the Blue Mountains out the back of Sydney Australia. I will have to check it out hopefully February. Cheers gor the tour bro!
No problem Dutchy. I don’t really know tbh but it’s probably worth a trip if you are interested in geology. Cheers
ry christmas. great to see the other side opf thailand. merry chrismas
Thanks PedroThai. I wish you a great New Year
Nice style of videos, like it, keep on going.
Thanks. I’ll try
Hey Karl have you heard of the giant skeleton that geologists uncovered in a cave with a massive snake skeleton wrapped around it somewhere in Thailand?
Not really but I have a feeling it might be part of the legend associated with my mists recent video and especially the next. Cheers
Happy Holidays Karl
And to you too Don, cheers
Merry Christmas!
Thank you and I wish you all the best for the New Year
I always wanted to see this in person! Beautiful video, Karl.
There are a few great spots in that area. Well worth a visit.
Happy new year to you Karl.
And to you LCT. Happy New Year
Thanks
Thanks again John and all the best for the new Year
Karl, you come up with some amazing places to visit!
Merry Christmas!
Happy holidays! and thanks a lot Rick
@@karlsthailand hopefully we get to see you now that we're here in Pattaya/Jomtien👋
So much incredible scenery in North East Thailand. Yeah in typical Thai style there are no guard rails on the top of the 3 Whale Rocks. As you mentioned Karl that type of rock can get a bit slick in rain. Interesting pot hole depressions there that are identical to ones I've seen in Central Vietnam at Bà Nà. Similar longitude. We used to call those pot hole pools "mosquito factories" in the 1990s... but usually in park and tourist areas now they treat those mini ponds. Bigger ones they put frogs and small fish in them to eat the mosquito larve. The place I mentioned in Vietnam is known as "Ba Na Station" now and it's been developed more. I took a Honda Cub 70 over 3 "monkey bridges" each way to get up there in the mid 1990s to get water samples. One of my Timberline boots got sucked right off my foot in the mud up there. Now we have paved roads... That kid Ploy seemed like a good trooper. She's getting valuable training dealing with westerners even if she doesn't get that yet... she will. Cheers - Merry Christmas !!
It's a fascinating place Mal. Tbh I'm not sure how I'd feel about railings on the 3 Whales rocks. I think the chances are it will probably happen at some point, everything elde there is being 'updated' but I do think it will detract from the place as a spectacle. Ploy was cool and I guess it's quite interesting for her going to such a beautiful spot every day and interacting with the tourists as you say. Cheers
Grazie per video,, bellissimo complimenti. mi manca La Thailand🙏
Thanks very much. Happy New Year
Grazie anche a te ,,,stare bene e buona anno🙏 @@karlsthailand
