Khun Tan Tunnel is considered the longest railway tunnel in Thailand. With a length of 1.3 kilometers, it is the longest out of the 7 railway tunnels in Thailand at present (as of September 11, 2020). It was built by the Royal State Railway of Siam, commanded by General Prince Purachatra Jayakara, Prince of Kamphaengphet Akarayothin, and supervised by a German engineer (Emil Eisenhofer). Since then, the Khun Tan Tunnel has gone through a perfect period of history and nature. We therefore see almost every tourist asking to take a photo as a souvenir. There are many ways to travel to Khun Tan, but for those who do not have a private car, it is easy to travel to Khun Tan. The classic way that most tourists like is to travel by train along the northern railway line. Then get off at Khun Tan Station. #Khun Tan Railway Station #Khun Tan Tunnel #Lamphun #Lampang

How to get there - Train Tourist attractions - Hiking up Khun Tan Peak Hotel - Khun Tan Park Restaurant and Food - Khao So I, Ohkaju Shopping - Chiang Mai Let's review the sleeper bus from Bangkok to Khun Tan to go hiking in Khun Tan National Park. The walking distance is about 10 km from the train station. Or you can hire a car to the park, which will reduce the distance to 5 km. The rainy season is beautiful and lush, but walking is not fun. You can set up a tent or sleep at the park's accommodation, which is convenient. When you get off, you can take the train to Chiang Mai.

🚂Khun Tan Tunnel It is considered the longest railway tunnel in Thailand.

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck **Review of the Atmosphere Along Both Sides of Train No. 51 from Mae Tan Noi to Khun Tan Station** Express Train No. 51 is a legendary northern route that provides a beautiful natural view experience along the way, especially the section from **Mae Tan Noi Station** to **Khun Tan Station**, which is full of diverse landscapes, including steep mountains, dense forests, railway tunnels, and old communities.

In the early morning, there is often a thin layer of fog floating above the train tracks, creating an image that looks like something out of a fairy tale. In addition, this station is also the point where the train must add a locomotive to climb up to Doi Khun Tan. This is an engineering challenge. ### . **Mountainside route: dense forest and fog** From Mae Tan Noi, the train gradually climbs to higher ground. The atmosphere on both sides of the road changes into a lush rainforest, covered with large trees, allowing only a sliver of sunlight to pass through. In the early morning or late rainy season, early winter, there is often **thick fog** floating like a sea of ​​fog, especially in **Doi Khun Tan National Park**, which is surrounded by pine forests and high-angle views. ### . **Khun Tan Tunnel: The longest railway tunnel in Thailand** The highlight is passing through **Khun Tan Tunnel**, which is 1,352 meters long and is the longest tunnel in Thailand. It was built by the Germans during World War I. Inside the tunnel, it is pitch black, but once you exit, you will see the view of rice fields and small villages in the middle of the valley, contrasting with the green forest. ### Summary of the overall atmosphere Traveling by train 51 from Mae Tan Noi to Khun Tan is not only a route, but also a perfect nature tourism. Passengers will experience the beauty of the forest, historical tunnels, old communities, and railway engineering heritage. The most important thing is the peaceful atmosphere and the cool air blowing through the train window all the way. **Additional advice:** BK - The best time: Late rainy season, early winter (November-February) to see the sea of ​​fog and cool air. - Prepare your camera because the view on both sides changes every minute and there are many beautiful photo spots, such as the S-curve at Mae Tan Noi or the composite bridge before entering Khun Tan.

‘Khun Tan Tunnel’ is a construction that comes from the dedication and amazing engineering skills of humans in the past, led by a German engineer named Mr. Emil Heisen Hofer who supervised the construction. This masterpiece is considered a historical railway route in the North by overcoming the obstacles of the rugged terrain and diseases at that time, from malaria to the dangers of “tigers”! After taking 11 years to build from 1907 to 1918, with a distance of approximately 1.3 kilometers, Khun Tan Tunnel has held the title of the longest railway tunnel in the country for hundreds of years until now (in 2021). However, in terms of the memorable history of construction and being a tourist route, ‘Khun Tan Tunnel’ still holds its own as an area connecting to Doi Khun Tan National Park, which helps to promote each other to have a unique identity. Because it is a natural park that can be reached by train from Bangkok through Lampang Province. Entering the tunnel under the mountain for a distance of more than 1.3 kilometers to the destination at Khun Tan Station, Lamphun Province, which is considered the highest railway station in Thailand. As for the excavation of Khun Tan Tunnel in 1913, it used the method of drilling into the mountain on both sides at the same time, similar to the short tunnels that had been drilled before. In building this northern railway line, there were many obstacles and problems because the workers had never worked on railway construction before, had never seen a tunnel, and had never even used dynamite to blast the mountain. Furthermore, the tools and equipment were not ready, such as an air compressor, which Mr. E. Heisenhofer had to invent his own ventilation device. During the construction of the Lampang-Chiang Mai section, World War I broke out, causing the steel bridge ordered from Germany to be unable to be sent in. Mr. E. Heisenhofer used hardwood to build the bridge instead. As for the high bridge near the tunnel, Mr. E. Heisenhofer laid tracks along the mountain and raised the tracks to make it easier to lay tracks into the tunnel. The workers who worked in the deep tunnel both day and night had no light at all. The work therefore uses a type of lamp called the “duck lamp” because it looks like a 2-month-old duck, but it is a duck with no head or legs. There is a hole in the neck for the lamp to stick out. On the back, there is a loop for a wire or rope to hang it. In the belly, there is fuel, which is gasoline mixed with coconut oil. #thailand#cafelife#waitingforthedaytotravel
