‘Hiking’ is a popular activity that allows us to escape the chaotic urban life and connect with the stunning beauty of nature. As Thailand enters the winter season, it is a perfect time for hiking and camping, resulting in many people sharing their hiking experiences on social media. This includes not only celebrities and influencers but also groups of novice hikers experiencing hiking for the first time.
Certainly, hiking is also an important activity that helps people appreciate nature more, as well as providing mental and health benefits. However, on the other hand, hiking is often criticized, especially regarding the large number of hikers which may impact nature. Issues include bringing excessive supplies, collecting souvenirs from the forest, inappropriate clothing that may expose hikers to certain insect dangers, or engaging in loud activities with friends.
