There are two trails noted here, of 4 km each, they are 1) Km 33 to Nong Pak Chi and 2) Nong Pak Chi to Wang Jumpee. The first of the two treks is a simple trail with some absolutely stunning examples of different species of fig (ficus) trees. Its an easy walk and takes about an hour.
The second is a little tougher with the 4 km Wang Jumpee trail a bit more wild and passing through a wetter forest type (consequently leach infested and with a higher localized humidity) on the hill climb section. Both trails can be done together for a good day out with a moderate hike.
The Km33-Nong Pak Chi trail can be done on its own as an "easy" walk (for definitions of "easy" and moderate" see the sticky post giving the descriptions. The Wang Jumpee trail would probably earn a moderate label due to the hill climb, steam crossings, humidity and the leeches.
