Here I am again and again! 3.00AM Depart from Rangsit to Khao Kho. 9.00AM Visit restaurant on sideways named “Route12”. Okay repeat again, go for a drive! The budget is very little and takes only 2 days and 2 nights. Here’s a rough plan. The main thing is I have enough energy or not. Hi everyone! Today I will bring you guys to go for a drive. Since I am free during this weekends and the weather is getting cold, I decide to snuff the smell of fog, wind and rain. Repeat, go for a drive. So, I will focus on each location, not activities. Not tasty as well (in my opinion). I will explain more later. In case I can be your guide for half trip. But the food is expensive. This restaurant is beautifully decorated suitable for taking photos. 7.30AM Arrive at Khao Kho to mainly see the fog. 8.00AM Worship Phra That Jae Dee (Khao Kho).
9.00AM Spend time at resort town like Chiang Khan as much as I can.
10.00AM Wat Phra Thart Pha Kaew, a place where everyone should see by yourselves. Reduce 20% of what it says. Not expensive at all if you plan well. The total budget divided by 2 is around 1500 THB per person. 5.00PM Phu Ruea (I have never been to this place before. 6.00AM Try to bring myself out of bed in order to offer sticky rice to monk. 9.00AM Spend time at resort town like Chiang Khan as much as I can. Because Google Map uses speed of 90 km. 6.00PM Arrive at guesthouse. 7.00PM Chiang Khan Walking Street (I stay in guesthouse of locals in that area, only 150 THB per night. At first I think there is nothing interesting but turns out very cool. 2.00PM Phu Tub Berk (Recommend to use Lom Sak Kao route. 1.00PM Slowly go back to accommodation. My plan is to calculate the time from Google Map.
I actually drive at 110 – 140 km. All locations should be done before 9.30AM because we have to prepare time for travelling around foothill as well. Anyway, we depart from Bangkok at 3.00AM. We drive leisurely but get lost making us waste time 45 minutes ( We enjoy driving so much that forget to watch GPS. I get myself out of bed because the alarm wakes me up to go for a journey. I almost cancel the trip because I am too lazy to wake up, haha. Little addition for those who concern on direction of each place, here’s the map. From the top, we drive downwards. Information in dept like history, structure or something similar to this, go search by yourself. After seeing the fog, we go to “Khao Kho Memorial” following by worshiping Phra That on Khao Kho. Around 7.00AM, we arrive at “Khao Kho”. Should arrive at 10.00AM. This time I have 2 places to recommend which are “Route12” for having meal.
Sight Seeings At Mae La Noi
Appreciating the charm of “Wat Phra Thart Pha Kaew”. When I look closely, I realize that this huge painting is drawn by little kindergarten and elementary school students. I really really like it. Should leave Phra Thart Pha Kaew around noon to go for Phu Tub Berk. Well! Let’s move on. After we are blessed, we move on to “Phu Tub Berk”. It is a drawing of their own family. It suddenly strikes the eyes. This place is still under construction, not 100% complete yet, but I guarantee its beauty and ornament. I look from outside. The Buddha in their perception. Okay, after we are full, I drop by Phra Thart Pha Kaew for a good luck. The photo below superficially looks normal. The whole painting is full of people holding hands, houses, family, pets and main thing, Buddhism. When I make a wish, I also spread my goodwill to all readers including my lovely followers as well, haha.
- Thung Salaeng Luang National Park
- Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park
- Phra Buddha Chinnarat
- Namtok Phlio National Park
- Phitsanulok Night Bazaar
- Rim Nam Restaurant
- Khao Lak-Lam Ru National Park
By using Lom Sak Kao route, the sideways are very beautiful. Anyway, it depends on skills of driver as well. I get along well with seller and I bring T-shirt, for page followers, by chance. Means that Phu Tub Berk is only 2 km. Any brands will do, sight seeings at Sing Buri as long as the cars still work and the engine is not too hot. Phu Tub Berk is another perfect place to stay overnight but I prefer to stay at Chiang Khan. Since it is winter, I drop by finding hat to wear. Continuously climbing the hill for not too long, I see a sign of “Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park”. But don’t worry about cars. So, I give one to her. Okay, if possible, you should leave Phu Tub Berk before 3.00PM because, based on my plan, you have to see sunset at Phu Ruea. We take not many photos. So, we only have a meal and pick strawberries. There only few photos to show, sorry for that. Takes about 1-2 hours.
