Monks/Pilgrim trail closed.

[Marcous]

I went to check last week if the trail was open, it's all shielded off. I asked the man in the box (at the exit of the zoo I think) if he knew when it would be open again, he didn't.

I thought the temples and national forests were all open again, no?

Does anyone have any idea when it will be open again?

It's a nice trek, second half, after Wat Pha Lat is a bit of a challenge though, very steep.

Taken last Wednesday ......... we just lifted it up and went under it.

 

 

New Infinity pool at Wat Phalaat, very pretty.

OMG.  Go get tested right away.  You'll die from Covid for sure!!!
It's a proven fact that SARS-Cov2 lurks in jungles (and infinity pools) and waits on the sides of trails (or under the surface of the water) until unsuspecting farangs happen by and then - BAM!  Ventilator!  Then the Thais will be clamouring to kick all farang out of Chiang Mai -- just because BritManToo crawled under the rope.  <Gasp> 
"How dare you!"

Were you able to get through the Temple grounds all the way to the road?

Not sure if this is the same one or not. I have an app called AllTrails and this comes up in the search.

co-ords: @18.8170067,98.9258561,470 

Entrance has a 2 tier carpark, walk towards the (noise) waterfalls... 

The path starts off as a nondescript path up to the Left of the Falls 

As we had not even been looking for Signs - the path experience was quite a surprise! 

 

In the 'pool' pic, we are looking downwards back towards the 'crevice' path. The 'shed' to the Right is a small Shrine. The Monks in the opposite 'uphill' direction, disappear into the bushes... 

 

On the Lower Tier Carpark area has a selection of 'cafes' 

Good for a decent sit down lunch of typical dishes

Hill walking spreads viruses?

What if if solo small socially distanced groups, 

or members of same family living together?
