After the end of September trip to Umphang (Umphang - Thi Lorsu - Ban Kotha - Ban Palatha)
with Israeli trekkers we ourselves went for a survey hike to the south of Palatha Karen village along Mae
Klong river. There is a very good viewpoint high in the hills overlooking the Mae Klong
river valley sandwiched between two steep hills. It looks like a fjord of the north sea.
Very beautiful. Camping at the high hill is possible by bringing some water for cooking, drinking
and cleaning.
This trip, combined with Thilor Su waterfall could be like this:-
Day 1: Leave ban Palatha in the morning to the highland view point by bamboo rafting and hiking
Day 2: Walk to the west to Ban Thi Po Gyi Karen village, home stay
Day 3: Walk over a hill and down to Ban Kotha and to Thilor Su waterfall camp
Day 4: Visit of Thilor Su waterfall. Walk to Mae Klong river and back to Umphang by truck
Or you can instead choose to continue to Thilor Lay waterfall in the further south.

As we have just completed a relatively long trek from Sangklaburi (north-western Kanchanaburiprovince) to Pueng Klueng Karen
village in Umphang, there seems to be many more trails still waiting to be explored. So while we are having a few treks in
these pages, in fact, there are endless opportunities to do changes. One just needs to have sense of survival and encounter with unexpected.
But then we
are in the position to make it possible some of the requirement the travellers want during their unforgetable adventure into this
remote place. Depending on the circumstances we will arrange reasonably comfortable sleeping place and good clean
food to eat,

This 4 days trip (Umphang to Umphang) will be run from 12 June to end of August. After August pick up trucks
will have trouble to go in Ti Lo Su camp due to heavy rain and muddy road conditions.
Even during this period we may have to walk from Mae Klong river to Ti Lo Su in case trucks could not get in.
Confirmed tour dates: day 1 in the program
