Phu Toei National ParkKhao Tewada Viewpoint is the highest peak in Suphanburi province, it’s located in PhuToei National Park, surrounded by hills and mountains. It’s far away from the city and has less light pollution during the night. We are organizing the Stargazing Camping trip in May where the milky way is visible horizontal above the horizon line.
We will hike to the campsite with our day bags, camping equipment and personal belongings will be transferred by pickup truck. The hiking distance is around 4 km from the starting point to the campsite. The hike is passing through the tropical forest and waterfall (dry during May) bamboo forest and steep hills. Alternatively, you can continue on a pickup truck and reach the campsite without breaking sweat.
We will camp overnight for stargazing and Milkyway hunting. On Sunday, we will do the morning trek to the highest peak. This hike to the peak is small steps all the way up to the peak, before heading down and return back to Bangkok for 2 days - 1 night getaway
