Khao E-To Trail

This trail is a part of Bangkok Hiking's Trail Training Series. It's also good for people who want to try hiking trails for the first time or who are trying to get in shape again. The path takes you through a bamboo forest, a stonetrail, a reservoir, a road, and a natural path to get to the big Buddha and the viewpoint. We split this 8-kilometer trail into two parts so you can take a break in between (elevation gain is around 160m)
