Khao Hin Thoen Stone Park is located in Prachuap Khiri Khan province in the narrowest part of Thailand, which is only 15 kilometers wide, close to the border with Myanmar Burma. Khao Hin Theun Stone Park is a hilly area where many large granite stones are stacked naturally. The fact that these large rocks appear to remain balanced despite their size and weight reminds us of the delicate balance and stability in nature. It is a reminder of the forces of nature and the unique geological processes that create such formations. These formations are often the result of centuries of geological processes, including erosion, sedimentation, landslides and other forces. It's amazing how nature can create these complex structures over time. From the top of the hill you can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the Gulf of Thailand and the surrounding coastline. Just a few kilometers away, at the Singkhon checkpoint, is the border with Myanmar; a route with rich historical significance as it once served as a military trail during the late Ayutthaya period. At the summit there is also a secluded temple built between three large massive granite boulders. Essentially an open cave, this temple is a hidden gem maintained by a lone monk. This venerable monk, now 78 years old, has been living here in solitude for more than 40 years. The temple and living area are built into the large boulders. Surrounded by lush green forests, this open temple cave also offers an opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty and tranquility. Hiking trails are available for those who want to enjoy the natural environment. The peaceful surroundings and natural beauty make it a popular place for meditation and contemplation.
Khao Hin Thoen Stone Park, situated near Hua Hin. The park is a remarkable natural wonder where numerous colossal boulders are ingeniously stacked, creating an extraordinary and unique attraction. As you explore, you'll discover narrow pathways that meander amidst these immense rocks and boulders. The ultimate ascent to the mountain's summit is well worth the challenging journey, as the vistas that await are genuinely awe-inspiring. From this vantage point, you can behold the Gulf of Thailand in the distance and gaze upon the picturesque landscape of the Hua Hin region below. The ascent itself is an unforgettable experience. Along the way, you'll encounter strangely shaped boulders and rocks, precariously balanced atop one another, leaving you in wonderment, as if they might teeter and tumble at any moment.
Khao Hin Thoen Stone Park ligt in de provincie Prachuap Khiri Khan in in het smalste stukje van Thailand, dat slechts 15 kilometer breed is, dichtbij de grens met Myanmar (Birma). Khao Hin Theun Stone Park is een heuvelachtig gebied waar veel grote granieten stenen op natuurlijke wijze zijn gestapeld. Het feit dat deze grote rotsen in evenwicht lijken te blijven, ondanks hun omvang en gewicht, herinnert ons aan de delicate balans en stabiliteit in de natuur. Het is een herinnering aan de krachten van de natuur en de unieke geologische processen die dergelijke formaties creëren. Deze formaties zijn vaak het resultaat van eeuwenlange geologische processen, waaronder erosie, sedimentatie, aardverschuivingen en andere krachten. Het is verbazingwekkend hoe de natuur door de tijd heen deze complexe structuren kan creëren. Vanaf de top van de heuvel kunt u genieten van adembenemende panoramische uitzichten op de Golf van Thailand en de omliggende kustlijn. Slechts enkele kilometers verderop, bij het Singkhon-controlepunt, ligt de grens met Myanmar; een route met een rijke historische betekenis, omdat deze ooit dienst deed als militair pad tijdens de late Ayutthaya-periode. Op de top is ook een afgelegen tempel gebouwd tussen drie grote massieve granieten rotsblokken. Deze tempel, in wezen een open grot, is een verborgen juweeltje dat wordt onderhouden door een eenzame monnik. Deze eerbiedwaardige monnik, nu 78 jaar oud, verblijft hier al meer dan 40 jaar in eenzaamheid. De tempel en het woongedeelte zijn in de grote rotsblokken gebouwd. Deze open tempelgrot is omgeven door weelderige groene bossen en biedt ook de mogelijkheid om te genieten van de natuurlijke schoonheid en rust. BieJee staat bovenop de tempelgrot. De regengoten op de granieten steen dienen voor de wateropvang voor de monnik. Er zijn wandelpaden beschikbaar voor degenen die willen genieten van de natuurlijke omgeving. De rustige omgeving en de natuurlijke schoonheid maken het een populaire plek voor meditatie en contemplatie.

te descubro observando....observandome... en el interior de la piel de mi alma...mis entrañas..
te descubro .... y miro la quietud de tus pupilas al caer en el pozo de mi vida....
un instante permanente.... grabado a carboncillo en mis sienes... en tu frente....
bajaré dibujando las paredes con los sueños de mi mente... todo ello... nada cierto.... y a manchones voy cubriendo lo que tengo... las esquinas...y mi suelo...
Te descubro....y no importa si me sientes o te siento...
After a few consecutive visits of Lapland, Sweden it became clear throughout the spring 2021 that we are about to change the destination - from all the options we considered, Iceland finally came out as the clear winner thanks to its predictable covid-related entrance policy and its high adventure potential which the country keeps steadily.
With a few pals in our group who have never been to Iceland, it was obvious we have to choose a destination which will show off the land of fire and ice at its very best.
Having that in mind, it was then pretty straightforward to plan the trail across the Fjallabak nature reserve (colourful rhyolite hills) and the adjacent Vatnajökull national park (Mars-like landscape of black sand and green moss).
We planned the journey from Landmannahellir to Langisjór, with the aim to show all the highlights and stunning beauty of the nature reserve/national park yet to keep the wandering off the beaten path i.e. to avoid overcrowded areas and points of interests of organised tourist groups.
Did you knew that Vikings were the first Europeans in Americas?
They encounter several dangers during their voyages.
My brother-in-law took this picture years ago and recently gave it to me to edit for him. He's a field engineer at the University of Washington (UW) and goes to set up sites/equipment for the scientists doing Global Warming exploration. No matter how hard I tried, I just could not get heal or clone to remove the sun spot in Lightroom. I still liked the picture anyway.
