Piyamit Tunnel Betong

From Winter Garden we continue our journey to Piyamit Tunnel which is about 10 mins drive away. The road lead to Piyamit Tunnel was windy and steep and we met two enthusiastic cyclist attempt to conquer the hill with their bicycle.  I feel so warm hearted seeing them carrying a Malaysia and  Thailand flag behind their bicycles.

This probably as the result of rock erosion after hundred of years.

The collapse old tree is huge- even taller than a human!!

We reach the first stop of the kitchen of the communist village 

This is the entrance of the tunnel

Tunnel has been 'renovated' to for easy walking 

@work room

@sleep place

@seat

If you afraid being in the tunnel you can opt for a nearest exit

This is the original tunnel before renovation- one need to really bend down to walk the path

As we exited the tunnel we stumble this beautiful ginger flower. I never know ginger flower is pink in color!

There is a Museum that explain the their life during their stay in this tunnel. Just imagine living in jungle without electricity, water supply, 24/7 on your guard ..not any person like you and me can withstand. They come a long way and I wish them all the best :)
