Dear Members!
i love the tropical jungle nature and just have once a year the chance to visit.
In europe i make long hiking trips & mountainering average 2\month and also guiding other people and we have much marked trails and gpx files.
For Thailand it's badly hard to find a guide (less\overpriced\beginnerhiking) or gpx files and i need to plan it from far away and gave my best to get some.
With my research (hanks for the 2 basic gpx files from forum) and detailed track planning i could make 2 bigger hikes from Phaonen Thung & Ban Krang Camp and i would like to share and discuss them with you - see attached.
Different map layers (google roads & google earth & openhike) helped me to find some no marked tracks or see easier areas to cross straightforward.
Questions:
Pakarang Mountain Hike (32km_500hm):
1)Do you think the straightforward line (red encircled) to the walkbacktrack is possible to hike?
2)On Google Roads (just there) a track is marked and i want to walk back that one, somebody know that "trail"?
3)As 32km_500hm is much on harder jungle terrain i think not possible as a day hike and need to do one side per day and walkback same track?
---see attached picture
Thor Tip roundcourse (8km_400hm):
I made last year the marked single trail to to Thor Tip, this year thought about to make is as a roundcourse, as there is a rivertrail marked too.
1)Is this roundcourse possible and is it possible to continue some hiking after reaching the Thor Tip or it's just steep\rocky terrain there?
What you think about this track and especially do you have more tracks (send me PN or post here)?
...jonathanbkk waiting for yours ;).
Here are the 2 GPX Files:

Don't do them without experience, i didn't proof them yet in practical (will do in december).
Here some impressions of my european outdooractivities:
