Navigatoo: A Relaxing Nature Escape with Sea Mist and Ginger Lilies


The rainy season has passed for a while now, the volatile weather has begun to calm down, and it's time to hit the road. This trip took a long time to plan, a whole 1 night! Let's go! The goal of this trip is to go and sleep and watch the sea of fog at Phu Thap Boek. But since we're already on the road, just Thap Boek wouldn't be enough, so let's add the Tung Bua Keaw flower field as well. ....... If you're ready, let's go! ....... With Navigatoo #Sound like Brother Tik Navigator
(I forgot to mention, this trip is 3 days 2 nights.)



Chapter 1: The Spinning Windmill and the Following Heart


Following the concept of a relaxing trip, we departed from Bangkok around 11:30 AM, taking the Bangkok-Saraburi-Phetchabun route. We drove and stopped along the way, arriving in Lom Sak around 4:00 PM. The timing was a bit tight as we intended to spend the night at Phu Thap Boek, but no worries, "relaxation" was our priority. We decided to check out the wind turbines first. ^^


The route from Lom Sak to the wind turbine is not difficult. Take Highway 12 towards Kham Son Intersection. At the intersection, turn left and drive straight ahead as if you were going to Khao Kho Post Office. However, before you reach the post office (about 20 km), there will be a sign for Phet Dam Company on the right. Turn right and follow the road.



As of the date of my visit, there was no entrance fee. The real thing is very beautiful and enjoyable to watch. I originally intended to stay for only half an hour, but before I knew it, the sky was about to get dark.



Chapter 2: The Little Elephant Master
From the wind turbine field, we drove back up to Phu Thap Boek. Tonight we will be sleeping at Baan Rai Rim Pha, my usual accommodation. But when I say usual, I've never actually slept in the house, mind you. Because each house is always fully booked. I wouldn't want to book with just anyone else. So, I ended up sleeping in a tent as usual.
I arrived hungry, so I quickly set up the tent and then went looking for food!!!

For those who want to sleep in a tent but don't have one, they also have tents for rent here (It's not often that we get out into nature, so we have to make the most of it!). The bathrooms are shared, so after showering, you can sit and watch the stars. The sky was clear and inviting, so I went to grab my tripod to take some pictures of the stars, but!!!!!! I forgot to bring the tripod lock. Oh no! A million leaves whispered, for the sake of satisfaction, I opened the app to play around and there it was! The Milky Way was right in front of us, I wanted to get it!!!!


As the old saying goes, "It's better to be embarrassed than to miss out." So I waited patiently for the photographers to finish taking their shots. When they finally had enough (or maybe they just took pity on me), they lent me their tripod. Haha!

(I don't know how to take pictures yet. I'm not very good at it. If any of the pictures are blurry, please use your imagination to see that it's the Milky Way.)



Chapter 3: Little Fog
#Rooster's crow This morning, we woke up naturally. As soon as we opened our eyes, we grabbed our cameras and went out to take pictures.

After enjoying the mist, we continued our journey. Today's destination is Trai Thong National Park in Chaiyaphum Province.


This morning we stopped by to have some rice noodles. If you're ever in Lom Sak, be sure to check out Khun Raerai's shop.

I happened to stop by to see a friend in Chaiyaphum, so I didn't stop by any other attractions. For readers, there are many things you can do this morning, such as walking around Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park, paying respects at Wat Phra That Pha Sorn Kaew, or sipping chic coffee at Pino Latte.



Chapter 4: Khao Trai Thong National Park
After visiting friends in Chaiyaphum town, we were running late as usual. We didn't arrive at the national park until almost 6 pm. At first, we thought we wouldn't be able to sleep on top of the mountain because there wouldn't be any cars going up. But luckily, there was still a car left. So we got to sleep on top of the mountain and didn't have to rush in the morning. As soon as we woke up, we could start walking.
The top of the mountain is not very difficult to access. Anyone with a high pickup truck can drive up themselves. If you have a sedan, there are park ranger vehicles available. There is also a restaurant, but there is no electricity.

Whoever comes early, in the evening, can go see the sunset at Pha Had.



Chapter 5: First Time in Life, Conquering the Field of Siam Tulip
Morning has arrived. Today, there is no sound of roosters, only the chirping of birds and the swirling mist. I don't want to get out of the tent at all.

Officials recommend not going to see the morning glory flowers too early, as there may be venomous animals. Wait until it is light, and the walk is not too far, about 2.5 km. In total, it is only 5 km round trip.


Let's go if you're ready!!



A rapid series of photos, this trip was incredibly lucky. The officer told us that this was the first day in two weeks that there was fog in the field. Wow, how cool!



*** The Giant Water Lilies won't be with us for long. They will probably be gone by August 12th. If you're interested, hurry up and go! ***





Chapter 00: The Perfect Time
By now, many of our readers must be wondering when the best time is to see the sea of mist and the siam tulips. Some argue that the mist must be in the rainy season, while others say it must be in the winter. As for the siam tulips, some say you have to go to that field, some say you have to go to this field, some say it has to be Pa Hin Ngam National Park, and some say it has to be Sai Thong National Park.
Don't worry, if the weather is right, a little humid, you will see the sea of mist in the morning anyway. It just depends on whether it will be a lot or a little. As for the siam tulips, if you like it quiet, go to Sai Thong. If you like it stylish and have a car to ride in, go to Pa Hin Ngam. If you don't believe it and want to prove it, go to both places.
All of this is just to say that
