At Thale Noi, there are a variety of resorts, guesthouses, and rooms to choose from, with prices to suit all budgets.

Regarding food, you can order from your accommodation or drive to a nearby restaurant. There are several options in the area, including View Yor Restaurant (Sri Pakpra Resort) and Sam Kok Restaurant. If you prefer a wider selection, the Sea Noi area offers more choices. We opted to order from our accommodation and were particularly impressed by the chili paste with shrimp paste and the sour curry. Highly recommended!

Our room is located right next to the lake, offering a stunning view of the giant from the bedroom window.

At our resort, you can arrange a boat tour to explore the scenic Khlong Pak Pra Ya in the morning. You can admire lotus flowers and various water birds at Talay Noi. The price is around 1200 baht for a boat that can accommodate up to 6 people.

Morning atmosphere at Ban Pakpra.

Villagers regularly go out to fish with cast nets in the morning.

Consider using a W/B with a shade. If you look closely, you will see that the photographers went into the water to take pictures under the bridge. That's what the dark shadows are.

One more picture, please don't get bored.

After taking photos of the view to our heart's content, we turned our attention to capturing our accommodation.

Local fishermen can be found near the accommodation.

We then took a boat to the Thale Noi Lake. While we were on the boat, we had some free time for portrait photography.

Our boat will pass the 80th Anniversary Bridge.

I came across a local legend about this place. I saw many photographers taking pictures of this house, so I decided to do the same.

The day we went, there were many tourists as well. We all drove our boats together.

While on the boat, you will see villagers collecting traps set for fish.

The highlight here is the herd of water buffaloes, of course.

Their horns have a peculiar shape, unlike the horns of the domestic buffaloes that we commonly see.

I like the buffalo here. They all looked at the camera. 555++

Take a boat trip on the Loy River.

In the meantime, we can take some portrait photos.

The lotus flowers bloom from mid-February to May. This photo captures the rear end of a bird. Can you spot it?

The lotus flowers bloom in clusters, taking turns to blossom and wither. Our photos may not do them justice, so you should really see them for yourself.

The last picture of the lotus flower, try changing it to W/B to see another color. This point is located near the village.

The boat then takes us to a village on the edge of the Thale Noi Lake, where most residents are fishermen. As we walk through the alleyways, we see dried fish hanging outside many houses.

An elderly couple, the uncle and aunt, were encountered. Upon inquiry, it was revealed that the uncle would set a fishing trap in the evening and collect it in the morning. The aunt would then clean the fish, removing the entrails and soaking them in salt water for approximately one hour. Subsequently, they would work together to dry the fish, as depicted in the image.

Sun-dried for one day, the fish is then sold to shops located near the front of the Talay Noi Sea.

This house is full of dried salted fish. Seeing them makes me crave hot rice porridge.^^

Another occupation that the villagers of Talay Noi engage in is weaving "krajood" (a type of reed).

The grandmother said that she sent it to the shop in front of the Thale Noi Sea.

The people here are very kind. They welcomed us, the tourists, with smiles. When we asked permission to take a picture of the grandmother, she gladly agreed.

The last picture shows a delicious menu item from this restaurant. My friends who visit should definitely try the "fried fish eggs".

Having reached this point, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to all our friends who have taken the time to read and view our images. We sincerely hope that they have been of some benefit to you.

I would like to invite you to visit this place with me. I enjoyed it and hope you will too. Thank you. ___/\___
