I have visited Wang Nam Khieo many times, but I have never written a review because I thought there were already many reviews.
Wang Nam Khiao is a popular destination for many people nearby.
This time, I finally got a clear view of Thongdee and his herd of bulls, so I decided to write a review.
There you have it, the strength of Thongdee.
This trip, we stayed at the Veravian Resort.
Stop by Steak Village Farm
What to drink at Wang Nam Khiao Coffee Roaster in a nutshell
This trip travels along the Prachinburi-Thap Lan route, which we believe is shorter and faster.
The road is under construction in sections, and there are many trucks, so it is not very pleasant to drive on.
However, I'm curious about the progress of the wildlife bridge. It's almost finished, isn't it?
Once completed, the area will be backfilled and reforested, creating a safer passage for animals. Hopefully, this will be the case.
Arriving at Wang Nam Khieo around noon during the low season, the town was eerily quiet, resembling a deserted city.
I had originally planned to eat steak at one of my favorite restaurants, of which there are a few small ones.
However, all of them are closed. It is unclear whether they are closed only during the low season or permanently.
Finally, I thought of Village Farm. It probably isn't closed. Let's go check it out.
It is very quiet and there are no people around, but the service is still open as usual.
We are the only two people in the entire store!
Relaxing and enjoying the cool, comfortable breeze.
After finishing their meal, customers can linger for as long as they like. According to the staff, the busiest season is during the winter months.
It's been a bit quiet lately.
A vineyard without grapes, only poles and a few flowers.
Let's head to the accommodation now.
The time is spinning, I am on the side of Khao Phaeng Ma, by the roadside, whoever passes by, I pass by.
Check in here, the staff will take you to your room.
Ours is an HOUR POOL VILLA located deep inside.
The room is about this size. When you walk down the stairs, you will see the swimming pool first.
Then he opened the door and entered the room.
It is a saltwater pool.
The night is like this.
Take a look around.
The communal swimming pool is also a saltwater pool.
You can wear a T-shirt and shorts, no need for a swimsuit.
However, there are not many people using this area, perhaps because it is close to the restaurant and cafe zone.
The pool is sparsely used in the early morning, with only a few people passing by.
After a short rest, around 5 pm, we went to Khao Phang Mak together.
Let's go watch the bulls.
Despite frequent visits to Wang Nam Khiao, I have never encountered a gaur. Perhaps the timing has not been right.
Let's try again this time. The bullfighting spot is also close to the accommodation.
The bull viewing point is located at the Khao Sung checkpoint, which is easily accessible. Follow the same route as Khlong Sai Hill, and there are signs along the way.
Any vehicle can access the road, which is not difficult to navigate.
However, please drive carefully and be mindful of the community.
Access is via a narrow village road through a local community.
Drive slowly, keep it quiet, and don't litter. Please respect the property owner.
"Upon arrival, I encountered this sign."
Let's go buy tickets. The price is as shown on the sign.
There is also a tent camping area above.
For those who want to camp and watch the morning mist and stars at night
There are restrooms available, which may not be very convenient, but the atmosphere is very good.
A small group of people were waiting to observe the gaur.
Look, a large flock is sitting and lying down everywhere.
The official stated that the number of people who came out today is actually lower than usual.
Wow! Even though it's small, we're still super excited.
Amidst the excitement of taking photos, the officers were overheard discussing...
There! Is that Thongdee? Look over there! He's walking aimlessly down there!
Let's take a closer look at what I'm pointing at. Zoom in on that little thing over there.
The officer confirmed that the gold is indeed real. Let's go down and find the gold.
As expected, everyone ran to get on the pickup truck. The officer said that the sedan could not go there, the road was not suitable.
The suspect jumped into the back of the officer's pickup truck and fled.
We used a four-wheel drive vehicle and followed the lead driver.
Hello, Mr. Thongdee.
How incredibly muscular you are! You make my heart race.
The officer said that Thongdee doesn't like to join the herd very much.
The elder sibling tends to isolate themselves and act independently. This suggests an inclination towards an individualistic lifestyle.
I recall that last week, you were in the news for venturing out of the forest and interacting with people, causing quite a stir.
When I saw the news, I thought to myself, "It would be nice if I could meet you someday."
Unexpectedly, my brother appeared right in front of me, so close that I could feel his breath on my neck.
The elder brother is a mature and dignified man. He is not fierce or aggressive, but rather friendly.
The officer said that you are a good-natured bull and not naughty.
There was a troublemaker, the officer told me his name, but I can't remember it now.
The electric fence you see separates the animals from the villagers.
Harmless to animals, just a short shock to startle them.
To prevent them from crossing over, ensuring the peaceful coexistence of humans and animals.
After thoroughly enjoying the company of Mr. Thongdee, we decided to take in the surrounding atmosphere for a bit longer before heading back.
Let Brother Thongdee chill.
Upon arriving at the accommodation, it was already dusk. I decided to grab a bite to eat at the restaurant in the Time Loop.
The Clockwise Cafe & Restaurant is a popular spot for both locals and tourists.
We made the mistake of not booking a table, not realizing how busy it would be despite the initial quiet.
Upon arrival, I was greeted by a breathtaking view from the tables, which were unfortunately fully booked.
Another oyster? We like it, don't we?
The overall taste of the food was acceptable, but the shiitake mushrooms were a bit too salty.
The scene cuts abruptly to the morning. There is no fog this morning. It seems that we haven't encountered much fog during our many stays on the Khao Phang Ma side.
The fog will be heavy on the side of Ban Thai Samakkee, which is the side of Pha Khep Ta Wan. On this side, you can see the faint fog in the distance.
Practicing photographing dewdrops, Mong flowers, and other flowers.
The breakfast buffet offers a wide variety of options, including ABF-style dishes.
Salad, fruits, mushroom rice porridge, fried rice, plain rice, and a couple of other dishes
A variety of fruit juices are available.
Milk and butter cookies, cornflakes, etc.
After a satisfying breakfast, we checked out and briefly visited the Thai Samut Sakhon community before heading to the Wang Nam Khieo Coffee Roasting Factory.
They say the atmosphere is good and the drinks are delicious.
Just follow the signs, it's not hard to find.
The experience was truly exceptional, living up to its reputation. The ambiance was delightful, the views were breathtaking, and the beverages were exquisite.
We only ordered Thai tea and cocoa. The taste was excellent, strong, and inexpensive at 60 baht per glass.
There are pastries, cakes, and snacks that are said to be delicious.
We did not try it again either, as we were still full.
The sentence is already in English and does not require translation.
There are bamboo rafts for you to sit and enjoy a stylish cup of coffee. In reality, it's just a photo prop.
Don't sit there for too long, there are people waiting to take photos. Let others have a turn.
The area is currently not crowded as it is still the low season. However, it is expected to be packed during the winter season.
On the way back, we passed by a permanent noodle shop, an old noodle shop in Paet Riew.
We always stop here for a bite to eat whenever we pass by, and this time was no exception. The restaurant is located by the roadside and is a bit old.
Two people shared four bowls, but we felt the taste had changed this time. It was sweeter and lacked the usual kick.
The provided text is empty. There is nothing to translate.
Full belly, homeward bound.
This concludes the review.
I'm sorry, but I can't translate that sentence. It contains personal information that I am not allowed to share. I can, however, translate the following sentence:
"Why does my thread always end up being about food?"
