Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, start from Padang, the capital of West Sumatra. Head east on the Jalan Raya Padang-Bukittinggi road (also known as Jalan Lintas Sumatera) for about 70 km until you reach the intersection near Batusangkar. Take the turn towards Tanah Datar Regency. Continue straight for about 10 km until you see signs for Puncak THAILAND. The coordinates for Puncak THAILAND are approximately -0.5800295, 100.5615125. Follow the signs, and you will arrive at the destination. Ensure your vehicle is in good condition as some roads may be winding and steep.

• Public Transportation

  For those using public transportation, start your journey at the Padang Bus Terminal (Terminal Bus Aau). You can take a bus heading to Batusangkar, which typically costs around IDR 30,000 to IDR 50,000 depending on the bus service. The journey takes approximately 2 hours. Once you arrive at Batusangkar, look for local transport options like angkots (minivans) heading to Tanah Datar. You can ask locals for directions to Puncak THAILAND, as the angkots will drop you off near the main road. From there, you may need to walk or hire a motorcycle taxi (ojek) for the last stretch to Puncak THAILAND.
