Got to the visitor centre and found out that all the guided trails were fully booked, and so we went on one of the easier trails (but still it was very tiring I cannot) 😢 The parents bought leech protection socks that looked like this:

Much fashion.

Basically by the end of this trail I was half dead + they tell me need to climb a bit more to see the waterfall I was like ???!?!?!?!?!? ok need to exercise

I was also harassed by leeches (very traumatic to see blood coming out of your ankles) and I regretted not buying the leech protection socks 😭

Finally got to see the Haew Suwat Waterfall:

Visited some Pa Deo Dai Cliffs (it was very pretty and they had a yellow line along the cliffside so you don’t fall over HAHA):
