However, the Thai Rath online news team

I have contacted Mr.

Mr. Nabin said that the trip will take about 17 days.

Kathmandu airport

and traveled in the city before

before traveling up the hill to see nature

To travel, it is necessary to prepare the body and equipment.

because it has to travel through a high channel

You also need to prepare food for camping.

"In the case of a Thai person who has died

It is currently in the autopsy stage.

And after this, the body will be brought back to Thailand.

for walking up the mountain of Thai people

It generally takes over 7 days to walk to an altitude of 3,000 meters and then it is followed by a trek to the Meso kanta La pass at an altitude of 5,285 meters.

“From the 8th day of travel, they will probably find snow on the ground until the 14th day of the trip.

The camp will consist of two nights in tents and the rest will be spent at a warmer guest house. 11 Travel to TiLicho base camp (4,150m),overnight at guesthouse Day 12,Travel to Tilicho lake (4,920m),Overnight at tent,Day 13,Travel to kaisang (3,510m) after crossing Meso Kanda La pass (5,285m) ), which each year there are about 500,000 tourists from around the world traveling to see nature at this place.

Conqueror "Everest" pointed out that the path is not dangerous, but there are risks.

Mr. Wititnan Rojanapanit, the first Thai climber who managed to conquer Mount Everest

which is the highest peak in the world

and is part of the Himalayas.

Mentioned about the Annapurna Circuit trek that he had traveled before.

But don't walk around

but only at high altitude

Before traveling, it must be prepared.

1.Prepare your body for cold, high, light weather conditions. You have to be tough because you have to face low pressure conditions.

Therefore, before going, it is necessary to prepare yourself.

2. Availability of information

is to have knowledge about traveling

And must be prepared for everything, such as food, if there is an emergency, who will help?

3. Knowledge of equipment used

People who travel like this must have knowledge of using equipment properly.

However, the Conqueror of Mount Everest

gave an example that

What you need to think and know is

Are the clothes that you have prepared enough?

And understand the use or not ... for example

Some Thai people don't know these things.

because Thailand has good facilities

Some places that the car reaches, such as Doi Tung, Chiang Dao, therefore do not understand the use of clothes.

“Some people don't know how to wear clothes, so they wear thick clothes first, put 4-5 layers of clothes, and it's warm inside.

But...after walking for a while, it's hot and sweating so I take it off and all the stored heat is gone.

It turned out to be cold....I put it on another 4-5 layers, it's called having been removed many times.

causing illness

lowered immunity

Or some cases choose shoes that are not warm enough.

Or maybe you have to wear Gore-Tex.

to drain moisture

which when we do not understand the equipment used

It caused many more problems.

Especially the body doesn't adapt.

If there is knowledge of information, height, resting points, people with a healthy body.

and adaptable

everything will be easy

There are two types of trekking.

Mr. Wititnan

also said that

Trekking is divided into 2 types which are...

1. Normal trekking For example, a trek to the Best Camp or the Annapurna Circuit, this is called a normal trekking walk, which is a round trip.

to visit nature

2. If it is a Trekking peak, it will be a walk.

and climbed even higher

In addition to trekking, another type is mountaineering (climbing), which is a serious climb.

Most of them are expeditionary teams.

cause unexpected

hidden dangers from traveling to see nature

beautiful... dangerous

Although the Annapurna Circuit nature tour route is not a scary journey.

But ... there is an opportunity to risk from other hidden dangers.

It is something to be careful about.

Some people don't even know they have a medical condition, so what's important is weather information, diet and support plans.

If there is an unexpected event

Here's what you need to prepare before going..

In some cases, there may be unexpected events, such as a snow storm, having to be stranded on the mountain for 1-2 days, some people cannot adapt to the weather, or some people travel too fast, for example, some people are tall and tall.

His steps were faster.

We will keep pace with him.

But we are smaller, so we need to accelerate.

makes me tired

Just by walking for an hour, we are very tired.

Can't go on..."

Therefore, here it is important to know the limits in each aspect, that is, to know your own limits, how much the body has been trending.

and device limitations

Knowledge and use

There are also other factors.

That may cause risks, such as traveling alone or in pairs, where we may be able to set a slow speed.

But... if going with a trekking company

The question is, how much do these companies understand us?

If you get a standard company

have enough caregivers

He looked at us for a moment and then knew that he was "Okay" or "Okay".

One of the conquerors of Mount Everest said that from personal experience that he had seen.

Some companies are very affordable, have few staff, and care may not be thorough.

or equipment is not good

Therefore, many cases that occur that have not arrived yet.

Or may die because of the "agency". This is one possible opportunity.

“What happened should have absolutely no deaths.

because it is considered a non-dangerous route

It can be said that it is a route that anyone can go on. Normally, a typical trip takes 21 days, but we don't know exactly what happened...

Normally, traveling to Everest Base Camp (5,270 meters) takes 9 days, 11 camps, 3-4 days return, the least I can do is 8 days. Personally, 6-7 days is enough. But for Others do not recommend doing this.”

Acute illness from height!

It shows that this trekking route is not very rugged...?

Conqueror Mount Everest admits that

is it really

Only... have to face cold weather

How to get there

used equipment

And how good our body is... which some things have to be careful.

Don't think everything is easy.

which the whole walking distance is hundreds of kilometers

What I would like to leave everyone with is that when organizing a trip or going on a trip like this.

Don't think that it takes only a short time to travel. You can't think like this.

Because we can't summarize

because our bodies are not able to adapt

Because the chance of death in the Himalayas may come from 2 things: 1. The body is not strong enough.

and body adapt

2. go through bad weather

"If the body is good

but the body does not adapt

can be solved by going down from the hill

by looking for someone to help take him down

If you encounter bad weather as well, which this month is called the beginning of winter as well

The weather there will be very cold.

Not enough clothes

If you meet like this, it's the only way to die."

When asked how altitudes above 5,000 meters affect breathing

Mr. Wititnan said that if the adjustment has been made

considered breathing

No aids needed

because it is considered to prepare the body

and according to established rules

Upon arriving at an altitude of 3,000 meters, there will be a break for acclimatization.

Then slowly climb to 4,000-5,000 meters, there will be no obstacles.

It's just...some people don't adapt.

or unable to adjust

“Some people have Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) or acute altitude sickness.

There will be symptoms starting from a height of 2,500-3,000 meters, with a lot of headaches and vomiting, which if we are aware, we must quickly manage ourselves.

or inform people in the faculty first

To come down to the level of 500-600 meters, for example, at 3,000 meters, come down to 2,400-2,500 meters by drinking a lot of water, resting, eating food for the body to have energy.

If you want to go further, try to go up again.

But... people with AMS are like arrows flying in the air.

You will only know when you are sick.

This disease will be realized immediately.

already know

The only thing to do is to let go of him…”.
