A long, steep outdoor staircase ascends through dense tropical vegetation in Ao Nang, Thailand

A long, steep outdoor staircase ascends through dense tropical vegetation in Ao Nang, Thailand. The steps are painted in alternating horizontal bands of yellow, blue, red, and green. Many steps feature diagonal black and yellow safety stripes. Sturdy black metal handrails with a geometric cross-hatch design flank both sides of the ascent. Lush green foliage, including large-leafed plants, banana plants, and palm trees, surrounds the staircase, forming a natural canopy and walls of vegetation. At the top of the stairs, a dirt path leads towards partially visible structures, one exhibiting a corrugated metal roof, nestled within the treeline. Direct sunlight illuminates the scene, casting distinct shadows from the handrails and foliage onto the colorful steps. No individuals or active interactions are present.
