Hike to Laem Thain - Abandoned Resort

Fallen Trees on the hike up to Laem Thain Abandoned Resort |
So after hearing about the abandoned resort, I decided to go and have an explore, the path is slightly sketchy in places, but manageable on foot, impossible on a bike. It took me around an hour to get from Gym and Fitness to the resort, and be sure to take plenty of water and possibly some food, as there is no chance of buying any once you start on the trail. Keep heading straight at the few turnings, and once you reach the fallen trees you are about 15-20 mins away from the resort. Not sure why it closed down, but looking at the few tripadvisor reviews, it would seem it did not have the best reputation, and I am guessing this, coupled with the sorry state of the road, meant it was uneconomical to keep up the maintenance? Anyway great for an explore, but there is a creepy feel to the resort, especially when the wind blow through it.
