This is my first time writing a review, so please forgive me for any mistakes. This was also my first time going on an annual trip. I was excited to go, especially since my boss had assigned me the task of finding a place to stay and things to do. Our slogan was "Eat well, live comfortably," so I got to work right away. First, I asked my colleagues where they wanted to go. Everyone chose Kanchanaburi. Well, that meant we had to go rafting, but all the members were over 45 years old. Where could we go that wouldn't be too difficult for them and would also be luxurious? I searched for places to visit in Kanchanaburi and found Raksa Nam Resort. It was the only place that had rooms available, and all the other places required booking 3 months in advance. That stressed me out!

This place is located in Si Sawat District, Kanchanaburi Province. Coming from the Srinakarin Dam, the uphill road might be a bit scary. Along the way, there are only dry trees because it's winter, the trees won't be as green and beautiful as in the rainy season. But you can feel the cool air. About 11 kilometers from the entrance to the Srinakarin Dam, you will reach the resort. When everyone arrived, they all said in unison, "Wowwwww, it's so beautiful!"

Upon arrival, we checked in and carried our supplies to our room. On the first night of our stay at Baan Maldive, the twin connecting walkways provided access to each other, offering a clear view of the Srinakarin Dam. The air was very fresh. We stayed on a Friday night, so we got a 50% discount on the accommodation, from 12,000 baht to 6,000 baht per night. It can accommodate 4 people, 2 people per room, which is not expensive, averaging 1,500 baht per person per night (including breakfast). The room is very beautiful.

The bathroom has a 360-degree view. Who would dare to close the curtain when using the bathroom? I can't stand being embarrassed.



Here are some pictures of the resort. I took over 100 photos, but I'm not really a camera hog.

Tonight we will sleep in a quiet atmosphere with cool air. In the morning, we will meet at 6:30 AM to take pictures at the end of the resort's bridge.

I woke up to a very cold morning, around 9 degrees. My face was numb, but I have to say, it was beautiful. I felt like I could breathe easily, my lungs were clear.


I forgot to bring a jacket, thinking it wouldn't be too cold. Luckily, I had a shawl to cover my shoulders, which helped keep me warm.

After breakfast, we prepared our passes and headed to Huai Mae Khamin Waterfall, which is said to be beautiful and has water all year round. Let's go!

Before taking another photo and


It took us about an hour to get to the waterfall from our accommodation. We arrived before 11 am and the entrance fee was 100 baht per person, which has recently increased. When we arrived at the waterfall, there weren't many tourists yet because we left early in the morning. From the parking lot, we could see the sea of fog at the Srinakarin Dam. It was very beautiful, but unfortunately, we only had our phones to take pictures. If we had a camera, the view would have been much clearer.

At Huai Mae Khamin Waterfall, tourists can camp overnight. There are camping areas for tourists to pitch their tents and several bathrooms to accommodate tourists.


Then our group started exploring Krating Waterfall. Where the author parked the car is the 4th level of Huai Mae Khamin Waterfall. But oh my god, there wasn't a single drop of water. What should we do? We were disappointed. The author was embarrassed. I had arranged a trip and told the members that this place was very beautiful and had water all year round. But I was relieved when I talked to the officer there. He said there was water, but we had to walk down to the 2nd and 1st levels. What should we do? All the members were elderly. Walking down was okay, but walking back up would be impossible. Some members wanted to sit and enjoy the view. Some people came all the way here and had to see the waterfall. So the author took them down to explore the 3rd and 2nd levels.

It's a relief, there's a waterfall now. The water is so green and beautiful. When I went to take a closer look, it was amazing. I'm so glad I survived. Now I can hold my head up high.

I feel like jumping into the water, but I didn't bring a change of clothes. I'll have to skip it.

After enjoying the scenery for a while, we had to walk back up the old path. We didn't think it was far when we were going down, but when we were going up, what could we do? We were panting like dogs and sniffing smelling salts all the way. After walking up with difficulty, we took the members to continue. Who's afraid? We went to Erawan Waterfall next. We weren't tired yet, so we went to see another waterfall. Let's go!


We have arrived. Don't worry, this place is not embarrassing. There is water here, and there are many foreign tourists. They are wearing two-piece suits and have slender figures. I am envious. I want to take photos with the app, but I am afraid they will think I am strange. However, the water in this waterfall is not as clear as the Huai Mae Khamin waterfall. There are many tourists, so the water is a bit cloudy. If you don't have your own car, there is a car from Kanchanaburi to Erawan Waterfall for 100 baht per person. But the entrance fee is very expensive, 100 baht per person for Thai people. The golf cart ride to the waterfall costs another 30 baht per person if you don't want to walk. If you don't want to pay another 30 baht on the way back, you can walk back. But the author didn't walk and paid another 60 baht for a round trip.


Sitting watching the foreigners play in the water, I saw the six-pack of a foreign guy, my mouth was watering. After sitting for a while, I went back to the resort to play in the water.

The next day we prepared to go back, and the program for tomorrow was very popular with the members. Where to follow?

We're here! It's the last day before going home. The bridge over the River Kwai. The day I came here coincided with Valentine's Day. There happened to be an event for tourists to take photos. There were heart-shaped booths and flower booths right on the bridge. I hurried to take photos.


After taking more than 100 photos, we continued to our final destination, Tiger Cave Temple. At Tiger Cave Temple, there is a cable car service for tourists that costs 10 baht per person for both up and down, which is very cheap.


I'm starting to get tired. You can tell from my expression.

After spending an hour worshipping at the temple, we headed back to Bangkok. I was missing my children terribly and couldn't wait to get home. I'll have to plan another trip next year. I'm still not very good at writing, but I hope you enjoyed my story. Thank you for reading and liking my post. Thank you.
