Never having been to this beauty spot before, we decided to take a trip up there a few days ago. We didn’t know where we were going, so set my SatNav to take us to the park HQ, which was 43 miles away, in a general Northerly direction. I assumed I would be going up the Bangkok Road towards Petchaburi, but no, it plotted a route towards Pala-U, and then take a right.

Have been a few times and that bridge is shall we say interesting when the water is high.

Yes, as you can see, the water is on the central planks in the photo.

DDid you cross the bridge?

I couldn't, it was roped off with steel wire about 1/3 of the way across.

Was like that last time we went but have crossed when the water was lower. The bridge swayed a lot as you crossed!

It swayed this time as well - hence many Thais bottled it
