Bangkok Hiking Halloween Special hiking trip. We are taking you to hike the haunted trail and camp at the site that’s 5 km away from the plane crash site. There is a story of the hikers witnessing a couple of foreigners dressed unfit in the business shirt and suit walking in the trail and disappearing around the crash site.
We are going to camp at the remote campsite up at the peak, the weather is around 16°c degree and lower all year round because it’s sound by the hill range, almost backcountry, with no electricity or phone reception. We are gathering to share the ghost stories and snacks.
The next morning, we are going to hike the highest peak in Suphanburi province to see the view of the beautiful mountain ranges, and return to bangkok around 7PM
About the Plane Crash sites
Lauda Air Flight 004 was a regularly scheduled international passenger flight between Bangkok, Thailand, and Vienna, Austria.
On 26 May 1991, 12 minutes after take-off, the crew got an advisory warning. The thrust reverser on the No.1 engine deployed in flight without being commanded, causing the aircraft to spiral out of control. The fuselage crashed in the jungle at a 45 angle and exploded. One of the aircraft’s wings was found 19km and the cockpit 1.5km from the main crash site, killing all 213 passengers and the 10 crew members on board. It was the deadliest aviation incident involving a Boeing 767 at the time and the deadliest aviation incident in Thai history.
