Skywalk Aiyerweng, Betong
We visited the Aiyerweng Skywalk on our second day in Betong. We started our journey early at around 4:00 AM, taking a tuk-tuk from Grandview Landmark Hotel โ the ride took roughly 40 to 45 minutes, passing through quiet villages and forest roads under the dark sky.
As far as I know, private cars and tuk-tuks used to be allowed all the way to the top, but not anymore. Now, any vehicle from Betong town must stop at a designated open area near the base. From there, you need to hire another tuk-tuk, motorcycle, or van to take you up to the summit. At the parking area, there are a few small warungs (some halal-friendly) and souvenir stalls.
Unfortunately, I forgot the exact tuk-tuk charges. I did feel a little regret not driving myself โ wouldโve been a nice experience driving in another country! ๐คญ
When we reached the top, the sky was cloudy and grey. Still, since we were already there, we walked up to the lower deck to wait for the sunrise. Thereโs also a glass-floor skywalk (entrance around 200 THB if Iโm not mistaken), but we didnโt go on it โ too afraid of heights ๐ . So we just stayed on the concrete viewing area, enjoying the cool breeze and soft morning light even though the sun didnโt really show up. We spent about two hours there, chatting and even making new friends nearby.
Oh! There were some stray cats roaming around, but they looked healthy and well-fed โ likely cared for by kind locals.
Before heading back, we stopped at the small cafรฉ near the deck called Tai Mhok. Their dim sum was surprisingly better than the one we had the day before! We ordered coffee, tea, and cocoa โ and their cakes were good too. A nice place to relax and wind down.
For the ride back down, I hopped on a motorcycle tuk-tuk โ not really an adventurous person, but hey, I took the chance! ๐ (Okay fine, Iโm a bit of a scaredy-cat. ๐คญ)
Overall, Aiyerweng Skywalk is a place I wouldnโt mind coming back to, especially for a proper sunrise view. And next time? I might just challenge myself to drive all...

Half asleep, we stumbled out of bed at the wee hour of the morning to begin our trek to witness in person the iconic and glorious phenomenon of carpet or sea of clouds atop a mountain of a mere 610 meter in elevation. We left our hotel at 4:30 am sharp in our air conditioned van with great expectancy when most of town was fast asleep. On our way up, we passed quite a few non air conditioned open sided vehicles ferrying fellow holidaymakers up at, I think, a lower fare. The journey to the foothill took about 45 minutes before we hopped onto waiting 4 wheel drive vehicles for the 15 minutes ride to the top which was about 28 km in all from Betong. Due to the steep gradient and for safety of all, only 4 wheel drive vehicles are allowed to ferry up passengers. By the time we reached the foothill, there were already many vans and people who preceded us. We had to wear protective coverings over our shoes to enter the complex and extruding glass bottom viewdeck at the 5th floor. The view was nothing short of breathtaking with sea of clouds stretching into the horizon and underneath verdant forests. As we were early, we were privileged to experience the pre dawn and post dawn sky. We stood, almost hypnotized, on the glass bottom viewdeck, taking in the panoramic view, admiring nature at its best, breathing pristine air or simply clicking wefie/selfie with a heart of thanksgiving and awe. I was told by one of tour mates that we can experience a similar phenomenon back home at Sungai Lembing...
