Hello everyone, I'm back after a long absence. Did you miss me? Today, I'm taking you on a trip to the south, to the city of Phatthalung, a place rarely experienced by tourists. It's a city with a simple way of life, where you can live a chic and fulfilling life. Phatthalung may not be a popular tourist destination as it's often just a passing city. However, this time I had the opportunity to visit because it's the hometown of my close friend (named Bom). Since my friend was going home, I decided to tag along and explore the city. My friend booked the tickets for me. We flew from Don Mueang to Trang in the afternoon, taking our time and enjoying the journey. The flight took just over an hour. If you want to see the beautiful ocean view, I recommend sitting on the right side of the plane. The left side offers a view of trees. We flew with AirAsia on this trip.
I have arrived at Trang Airport. It's sunny and the weather is beautiful.
I was mentally prepared for this, as traveling during the rainy season means accepting the weather conditions. In fact, when I visited Krabi last week, it rained for three consecutive days.
From Trang Airport, we headed straight to Tiwtawan Restaurant, located in Khao Chai Son district. My friend's father recommended this restaurant, and he drove us there for lunch.
Today, my stepfather is full. The restaurant is located by the lake with a 360-degree view. How relaxing is that? We can eat and enjoy the view.
Crispy Garlic Tofu, a Delicious Treat Served Hot
This sentence describes a dish called "Crispy Garlic Tofu," which is best enjoyed hot.
After finishing our meal, we decided to visit Haad Saensuk Lam Pa. We assumed it would be a beach for strolling, but upon arrival, we discovered there was no beach. Instead, we found a small market. We crossed the street and walked around, finding a few food stalls and a duck-shaped paddle boat.
After a short walk, we decided to head back to the city and check into our hotel. We will be staying in the city tonight at the newly opened Siva Royal Hotel. The rooms offer stunning views of the rice fields, especially those on the riverside. The other side of the hotel offers city views. After settling in, we continued our culinary adventure.
Let's go to Bang & Go Tea and Roti Shop for roti first.
It was past ten o'clock when I returned to my room. My friends invited me out to eat, so we went to the corner stall for minced pork congee with an egg. It was delicious! The congee here isn't very thick.
Delicious and easy to swallow.
You can go back to your bedroom now that you're full. Have a good night and sweet dreams...
Good morning on the second day of the trip. Today, Mom Bom picked me up and took me to breakfast. It's strange!! People in Phatthalung eat rice noodles for breakfast. So my mother took me to eat a famous rice noodle shop. You can take as much as you want. Eat with hot fried chicken. Oh, it goes well together. It's delicious too.
After that, we continued our journey. Today, we will be staying at Chom Dao Resort. They say that since we are in Phatthalung, we cannot miss whitewater rafting. Let's have another adventure!
A slight thrill ran through me as I embarked on a 40-minute journey from Phatthalung city to the resort. The hospitable hotel staff allowed us to check in immediately, easing our minds for the rest of the trip.
After checking into the room, the weather was so good that I fell asleep for a long time. My friend went to explore the resort and soaked in the water, but I was still asleep. My friend had to wake me up, saying, "Hey, wake up, I'm hungry." Okay, let's go eat. We walked to eat rice by the river. We ordered fried rice with mixed ingredients and fried eggs, and then walked to drink milk tea at the resort's coffee shop. We sat and rested for a while, then changed clothes to go rafting. After changing clothes, it was three o'clock in the afternoon. We stood waiting for the car to pick us up. The car took us to get equipment in front of the resort and then drove us to the rafting point.
My heart was pounding with excitement. The guide saw me holding the camera and asked Bom to sit behind me on the raft. I thought it wouldn't be tiring, so I let my friend paddle while I sat in front and took pictures. After paddling for a while, the water became shallow in some areas, and there were a lot of algae. Bom kept paddling and complaining, taking breaks along the way. I felt sorry for her, but I didn't have a paddle.
Halfway through the rafting trip, after the boat capsized once, the gibbon took pity on her friend and asked to take over the paddling. It was not a relaxing experience, she complained as she paddled, just like her friend. She was exhausted, sweat dripping down her body, feeling like she had just finished a boxing match. At some points, her arms were so tired that she could not paddle anymore. She paddled towards the shore, sometimes hitting rocks, sometimes turning the boat around. It was fun, but also thrilling all the time. After almost 2 hours of whitewater rafting, they finally reached their destination. They were almost there, she exclaimed. She felt sorry for the staff, as they had to paddle while the tourists enjoyed the ride. However, there were staff members who were always nearby to keep an eye on them, so there was no need to worry. For those who could not paddle or were too lazy, the staff were happy to do it for them. They were very kind and friendly.
Exhausted, we decided to return to the resort and continue playing in the water. The resort had a water slide, and we were eager to try it out. Initially, we were a bit apprehensive, so we asked the resort staff, Mind, who was an expert, to try it out first. Mind advised us that wearing long pants would hinder our slide, as they would not be slippery enough. We decided to give it a try anyway. The first attempt was not as slippery as we had anticipated, so we tried again. However, the second attempt resulted in a much faster descent, which caused us to feel a bit queasy. Upon reaching the bottom, we turned to Mind and asked, "You said it wouldn't be slippery!" Mind replied with a laugh, "Well, you are a woman, and you have a good amount of weight." We couldn't help but wonder if she was subtly calling us fat.
After having fun, the gibbons and their friends played on the slide for another three rounds each. Then they gently released themselves and floated in the water. The water flowed steadily until they reached the front of the resort. Oh, how relaxing it was! They sat on the swing with their feet dipped in the water, feeling comfortable and at ease.
We met a charming young boy named Naii-Hwa, who had a slight belly and idolized Bie the Ska. As we chatted, we discovered that he was the son of the resort's owner. Naii-Hwa was adorable and served as a natural entertainer for the guests. He regaled us with stories and kept us engaged in conversation. Before we knew it, darkness had fallen, and it was time for dinner.

Unsure of what to eat for dinner, I opted for my usual mixed fried rice, requesting it be delivered to my room. I wanted to return to my room and take a relaxing shower. After dinner, we went for an evening stroll, listening to chill music and enjoying the night. The stars here are stunning, far more beautiful than those in Bangkok. Feeling tired from the day's activities, we decided to return to our room and rest.
Sweet dreams and good night. Another day is gone. For today, two...

Wake up early and have breakfast together. An army marches on its stomach.
Today's breakfast includes deep-fried dough sticks, rice porridge with pork, stir-fried noodles, soft-boiled eggs, and coconut pancakes. Interestingly, the coconut pancakes here are made with fresh, unsweetened coconut milk, but are sprinkled with granulated sugar before eating, creating a unique sweet flavor. This trip has been filled with new culinary experiences every day.
After finishing lunch, we returned to our room to shower and change clothes for our next outing. Check-out time here is 11:00 AM. After checking out, we left our luggage at the resort and walked to the coffee shop in front as before. The weather was beautiful. We sat and waited for our driver to pick us up and take us into town.
After my brother picked me up in the city, we stopped by to have chicken noodle soup together. The chicken noodle soup shop is called "Aun Nid's Chicken Noodle Soup". I heard that the iced tea here is as good as the noodle soup, so I didn't miss the chance to try it. It's true, the tea is very strong. After we were full, I dropped my brother off at his house. Then Ning and Bom drove to Sri Pakpra Resort at Talay Noi. We will stay here for two nights. We are ready to explore Sri Pakpra Resort, which is located in an area connected to Songkhla Lake, which has a diverse and abundant ecosystem. It can be considered a nature conservation resort. From Phatthalung city, heading towards Talay Noi, Sri Pakpra Resort is located in Ban Chai Talay, Phang Nang Tung Subdistrict, Khuan Khanun District, Phatthalung Province. We arrived at the resort. The road is very empty, so we can drive slowly and enjoy the scenery along the way. The resort has a spacious parking lot. After parking the car, we dragged our bags to check in.
Upon entering the gate, the reception house will be on the right-hand side.
Welcome drinks and refreshing towels are available. A cool drink and a refreshing towel will help you feel refreshed.
After checking in, I booked a boat for tomorrow. The boat trip to see the sunrise costs 1,200 baht for a private boat.
The Resort's Precautions and Our Villa
The resort informed us beforehand that boat trips would be cancelled in case of rain. We prayed for clear skies the next day. We then headed to our room, which was the sixth and last one. The resort had also notified us that it was the season for insects at night, so there might be more than usual. However, they provided mosquito repellent.
Let's take a look at our bedroom for the next two nights. We booked a villa. Upon opening the door, we were greeted by a space for hanging clothes and a bathroom on the right. Another door led to our bedroom. From the bed, we could directly see the lake. The balcony outside had a mosquito coil holder, a daybed, and chairs for enjoying the view.
After enjoying the natural beauty for a while, we decided to continue our journey. However, before we could even reach our car, it started to rain. We quickly ran to the reception house to avoid getting our camera wet. After waiting for a while, the rain began to drizzle. The staff kindly lent us an umbrella, so we opened it and drove to our next destination.
Our first stop was the 80th Anniversary Bridge. We were surprised by its length. The bridge offered stunning views and was incredibly long. After driving to the end of the bridge, we turned around to take some pictures. There were designated parking spots along the bridge, so we recommend parking there and finding a good angle for your photos. Since the bridge is usually not crowded, you can enjoy your time without worrying about traffic.
The water buffalo here are swimming and diving like it's child's play. They truly deserve the name "water buffalo of the Talay Noi." When we called them to look at the camera, they turned their heads. They are truly adorable.
At this point, standing alone, but not lonely.
Let's continue our trip to the Talay Noi Waterbird Park. If you come during the migratory season, there will be many different kinds of birds. There is a walkway for you to see them. During this time, the lotus flowers have all withered. I have to be honest, I didn't expect much because I decided to travel during the rainy season. I know that you can't expect much when traveling in nature. Let's just say that I'm escaping the hustle and bustle of the city and living a chilled-out life for a week.
The guide for this trip is none other than your little gibbon friend.
My stomach started to growl, so I decided to go find something to eat. I heard that when you visit Talay Noi, you have to try the fried fish eggs. My friend bought some for me because I really wanted to try them. However, after taking one bite, I gave it back to my friend. I don't usually like to eat fish, but the taste was actually pretty good.
And then drive a little further and there will be a welfare home with a tower there. Since we are here, let's drive around a little more.
Translation:
The scenery here would be breathtaking if you came during the lotus blooming season. Trust me, I won't miss it next year.
Where to find a view to take a picture of the sunset? I didn't know where to go, so I decided to drive back to the same bridge. But then the sky didn't cooperate. There were so many clouds.
Let's take a break from the serious stuff and have some fun. Have you ever gone on a trip with your best friend and ended up taking turns taking pictures of each other? This is what happened to me, and it's hilarious! 5555
Our stomachs were rumbling, so we decided to head back to the hotel for dinner. The resort has a restaurant, so we drove there. When we arrived, we were surprised to see so many cars. It turned out that everyone was there for the food. The resort's restaurant, View Yor, serves authentic Southern Thai cuisine with bold flavors. The atmosphere is romantic, with stunning views of the Yor River.
This evening, we enjoyed dinner with a beautiful view. As dusk settled, mosquitoes began to swarm, but the restaurant provided insect repellent spray. We then proceeded to enjoy our dinner.
So I can hurry back to my room to shower and sleep, because tomorrow we have to wake up at 4 am.

Translation:
The phone rang just as I was about to take a shower. It was the resort staff asking if I was planning to take pictures of the stars that night. They offered to turn on the lights in front of the bridge for me. To my surprise, the owner of the resort came down personally to take care of me and make sure I was comfortable. I was incredibly impressed by their hospitality and friendliness. After showering, I went out to the balcony to enjoy the view. I looked up at the sky and was amazed by the sheer number of stars. I've never seen so many stars in my life! I couldn't resist dragging my friend out to take some pictures. Unfortunately, the insects weren't as cooperative as we would have liked. They seemed to be quite fond of us and wouldn't leave us alone. We weren't the only ones out taking pictures of the stars. Several foreign tourists were also enjoying the spectacle. I should also mention that there were fireflies around the resort, which added to the magical atmosphere. It was truly an unforgettable experience, sitting by the water, watching the stars and fireflies. If it weren't for the pesky insects, it would have been absolutely perfect. Feeling exhausted, I decided to head back to my room, take some medication, and get some rest for the next day's adventures.
Set the alarm for 4:30 AM, wash your face, brush your teeth, prepare your camera equipment, and get ready to welcome the morning light. At 5:30 AM, it's time to meet up. Walk to the lobby, where a male staff member is waiting. "Are you waiting to board the boat?" he asks. "Follow me. The boat is waiting in front of the resort." We walk to the boat, where the driver is waiting for us. It's time to board. When the boat sets sail, the sky is still dark. The boatman drives to the spot where we will watch the sunrise. There aren't many people this morning.
The boatman said that the sky's light would change constantly. It was getting closer, and the orange light was slowly rising, bit by bit.
Ning and Bom sat eagerly waiting for the sunrise, wondering if the sky would be clear and what the sunrise would look like.
And then the sun slowly moved
Gradually increase.
Little by little.
The moment the water receded, the sky instantly became clear and bright.
After the sun had risen above the water for a while, we continued sailing to other destinations.
The first stop where my uncle took me to park was the spot where the TV show "Ladyboys on Tour" once took a picture of "wanna be on top".
We then drove to another spot to see the water buffalo. The morning air was still cool.
The buffaloes haven't gone down to soak in the water yet. Noongning got on the treadmill to take a picture, but the buffalo turned its butt and ran away from the girl.
Do you see that bridge? The one we took pictures at yesterday.
Translation:
"The old man wants to race alone."
This is the origin of the water hyacinth that villagers use to make bags for export abroad.
OTOP products gain international recognition, generating income for local communities.
Our next destination is the Thale Noi Waterbird National Park.
This is another highlight, watching the lotus flowers bloom in the morning (with a bare face and pajamas).
Initially, I was concerned that there would be no lotus flowers as I visited during a season when they typically do not bloom. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that many were still in bloom. The gentle breeze and the sight of the pink lotus flowers covering the water made the early wake-up and lack of sleep worthwhile.
While it is not currently the season for migratory birds, there are still many bird species that can be observed here.
The sun is shining brightly this morning. I'm going to soak up some rays and get my daily dose of vitamin D.
Translation:
The simple life of this couple, the uncle and aunt working together to fish, is a life of simplicity but filled with smiles and happiness. This is what I saw and felt this morning. It even warmed my heart.
Translation:
It's time to head back to the resort for breakfast.
This is the resort next door, Wetland Camp.
This is the view from the front of the resort where Noom Ning is staying, Sri Pak Pra Resort. The house on the far right is house number 6, where she is sleeping.
This is a restaurant with a view of the Yod River. It is located in the same area as the Sri Pak Pra Resort.
The breakfast at the resort was a standard buffet. Today, I was able to enjoy my favorite chicken leg soup with potatoes.
This is the view from my bedroom balcony.
Translation:
The text describes a personal experience of visiting a restaurant. The speaker woke up late, took a nap, and then went to the restaurant. They had difficulty finding the restaurant at first but eventually succeeded. They had heard good things about the restaurant and were excited to try it.
Authentic sago from the sago palm.
Equally delicious is plain sago.
Not only that, but also a variety of other things.
And grass jelly with jelly, let's get it all at once.
Translation:
The coconut milk here has a salty flavor that perfectly complements the sago, creating a truly magical taste experience.
Translation:
Is there anything else I can help you with?
Even more surprisingly, the sweet treats are only 10 baht per cup. Yes, only 10 baht! Delicious and affordable, this is the place to be. Auntie Kee's legendary sweet shop.
We then drove into town to find something to eat. Let me tell you, we ate all day long. We ate until our mouths were tired, not caring about our weight or the world. Today, we continued with "Tao Kua." What? I asked my friend in confusion, "Is Tao Kua the same as Tao Tueng?" We came to the conclusion that they are completely different things. Since it was local food, we decided to give it a try. It was strange but delicious, and it was even more delicious with fish crackers.
Translation:
Phatthalung is full of delicious food, so how can you not gain weight after this meal? After you're full, let's go for a walk to digest. Let's continue to the market behind the train station. Park your car and walk to see their station.
The Night Market: A Culinary Adventure
The night market bustles with activity, its vibrant stalls lining the street adjacent to the station. While the offerings may seem similar at first glance, each vendor cultivates a loyal clientele. My friend, drawn to the aroma of chicken biryani with liver, couldn't resist its allure. Following suit, I mirrored their choice, embracing the camaraderie of shared culinary experiences. After all, a friend who shares their favorite finds is a friend indeed, and their recommendation guarantees a satisfying meal.
After buying some sweet treats, we headed back to the car park and set off for Sri Pak Pra Resort. "Hey, let's stop by and buy some fried meatballs from Auntie Kob's stall," my friend suggested. "Wow, you're still buying more after carrying so much from the market earlier?" I exclaimed. As we parked the car, we were surprised to see a large crowd of people jostling to grab something. My eyes immediately focused on the meatballs sizzling in the pan. "If it wasn't delicious, there wouldn't be so many people here," I thought. "Come on, let's try some! Don't be slow, or you'll miss out!"
The journey back to the resort was complete, and it was time to drive back. Upon arriving at the room, we sat down to enjoy chicken biryani on the balcony, accompanied by the sound of live music from the View Yor restaurant. The view in front of us was simply breathtaking.
Full and bloated, I lay on the bed watching TV. When I turned around, I saw that Bom had fallen asleep. I don't know what she was so tired from.
Translation:
Believe it or not, Bomb fell asleep at 6 pm and didn't wake up until the next morning, leaving the gibbon alone and lonely. He even slept…
Tomorrow, I will wake up early in the morning to watch the sunrise in front of Pakpradan School. Good night and thank you very much. Let's go to Sri Pakpra. The view is beautiful. There are a lot of stars. I woke up early again today. Today, I will drive from the resort to watch the sunrise in front of Pakpradan School.
Bom's close friend, Te, who is from Phatthalung and passionate about photography, recommended this location as a popular spot for photographers.
However, it turned out that Te did not tell Nungning which side to go to. As it was still dark when they arrived and they were afraid of not making it in time for sunrise, Nungning said that she and Bom had arrived early, but there were people who had arrived before them. They decided not to disturb those who were already taking pictures on the left side, so they went to the right side instead.
Translation:
As she walked down, her feet sank into the mud before she even reached the water. "Oh no, is the mud going to suck my feet in?" she thought. But determined to reach her goal, she continued to wade through the mud. However, when she looked back, she saw that Bom had stayed behind. "You go ahead, I'll wait here," he said. So, she continued on alone, the mud getting all over her clothes and shoes.
A local aunt saw that things were not going well, so she walked over to Bomb. "Kid, kid, the right side where you went down, they don't go down there. It's mud." "I want to be honest with you, auntie, I've come too far to turn back now," Bomb replied.
(The reason why everyone is taking pictures on the left side is because there is no mud there. If you are coming to take pictures at this spot for the first time, we recommend that you face the water and walk down the stairs on the left side only. We have already emphasized this, so don't say we didn't tell you. 555)
Okay, let's wade through this water. We'll need a tripod to keep us from sinking into the mud. The view here is nice and open. Let's see what kind of sunrise we get today. The light is starting to come up.
And then it came, it started to appear.
Little by little
Little by little
However, when we emerged from the water, the clouds had completely obscured the sun.
It's time to get out of the water and wash your feet.
The local aunt also suggested trying the rice noodles at the school entrance. It's delicious, and the uncle is the owner of the shop here. Okay, after washing my legs and folding the tripod, let's go buy rice noodles. The monks came to collect alms, so we put them in the alms bowl first.
Translation:
Translation:
And then we went to buy rice noodles from the auntie, 70 baht per kilogram. Then we drove back to Si Pak Pra Resort together. When we arrived at the restaurant, the auntie who owns the resort greeted us and asked how the photos were, if we liked them. So Bom asked for a bowl from the resort to put the rice noodles we bought in. The auntie said, "Oh, the resort is also making rice noodles today. If you want to eat anything in the future, please let us know." Wow, the owner of the resort really pays attention to every detail.
Translation:
View from the breakfast area.
After a satisfying meal, I decided to take a nap in my room. This trip has been all about eating and sleeping, hasn't it? I woke up around 11 am and it was time to shower and check out. I don't want to leave; I love the atmosphere here. It feels so peaceful and relaxing.
Translation:
The door opens to a Deluxe room. The newly constructed rooms should be finished soon, as most of the accommodations here are usually fully booked.
After checking out, we drove to see the water buffalo at the same place.
Translation:
This sentence is already in English and does not require translation.
The birds also came to say hello.
The sun is really nice today, the buffalo are all over the place.
Three generations of a family
Wait a minute, three parents and a child, where did the fourth one come from? What doesn't belong, but is cute?
After taking some photos, we drove back to the city.
On the way, we stopped by a restaurant, Laan Ta Chu. When I cut the steak, it was tough. Maybe the knife wasn't sharp. So I asked Bom to cut the meat for me. Bom said that people here don't eat much meat. I felt sorry for him because the meat was a bit old. I ate and chewed until my jaw muscles were tired. But the barbecue pork was sold out. It was delicious and well-balanced. The serving dish was very grand.
After a satisfying meal, we drove to check in at our hotel in the city. We returned to the same hotel as the first night, Siva Royal Hotel. However, our original room was occupied by other guests, so we were assigned a room on another floor with the same view. As we were about to lie down, Tae sent a picture that teased us. He mentioned a place called Khuan Khaihot, boasting about its beautiful view.
Ning turned to Bom and said, "Te said this place is beautiful. Should we take some photos?" Bom agreed, and they drove from Pak Pra into the city. They continued driving to Sri Bophrit District, where they circled around for a while. With time to spare, they decided to visit Khao Pu-Khao Ya National Park. The park offered nature trails, but they decided to save that for another day as their outfits weren't suitable for exploring. They then drove back to the Khuan Kai Hot viewpoint. The climb wasn't too steep, making it accessible for people of all ages. Three restrooms were available at the start of the trail.
Besides enjoying the scenic views and taking photos, visitors can also pay homage to Buddha statues, including the statues of the two Guanyin Bodhisattvas granting blessings. These statues were invited from the meditation center of Wat Phra Sukhi in Sadao District, Songkhla Province, to be enshrined as a center of faith for the people of Sri Banphot District.
The name "Khuan Khai Hot" originates from the Southern Thai word "Khuan," which means "high hill." It is said that before there were roads, it was so difficult to climb through the forest to reach the hill that people's testicles would shrink (Source: Cha-uat.com).
The view is truly stunning from up here.
Although the sun had not yet set, we arrived at four o'clock in the afternoon. Excited because we had never been there before, we rushed to check out the path. The breeze began to blow, and sitting in the pavilion was very comfortable. In the end, we had to borrow a concrete mat to lie down for a while. We couldn't help but fall asleep all the time, saving our energy for taking pictures later.
Translation:
Sometimes I wonder about myself, like, why do I invest so much effort in this? If I had been this dedicated during my studies, wouldn't I have gotten an honors degree by now? Thinking about it now, it's too late, haha.
After a short nap, I excitedly set up my tripod and camera, ready to capture the moment.
Fortunately, it didn't rain, but the clouds were still thick.
It's time to head back to the city before it gets dark.
One more picture.
I'm leaving now, Khuan Khai is shrinking, bye-bye.
Before checking into the hotel, I decided to stop by Auntie Iad's meatball stall. I was curious if it would be open today, as it had been closed the past two days.
Today is our lucky day, the stall is open! It's just ordinary grilled meatballs, but they're so delicious. Let's eat them hot at the shop. There are no chairs, so we'll stand and eat. There's a mild chili sauce for people who can't handle spicy food like us, but it's still spicy but delicious. Eat it with cold vegetables and cucumber. It's so good.
We returned to the hotel to sleep so that we could wake up early the next day to watch the sunrise again. Today is the last day that we will be wandering around Phatthalung. I feel a little sad. This morning we woke up earlier than usual because we were staying in the city, but we wanted to go watch the sunrise at Pakpra again. Initially, we decided to stay in the city on the last day because we planned to wake up a little later and just find something to eat in the city. However, since we had been watching the sunrise for two days, we still hadn't seen the sunrise that we wanted. So, we decided to take a chance on the last day. We woke up at around 3:00 am, washed our faces, brushed our teeth, and drove to Pakpra. Today we will be taking pictures on the Pakpra Bridge. When we arrived, it was still early and there were still a lot of mosquitoes.
Translation:
This place might have a lot of mosquitoes or insects because it's near the water, but don't worry, it's worth it for the beautiful pictures! Just remember to bring mosquito repellent.
Translation:
Set up the tripod and wait. It's only five in the morning, but the villagers are already out fishing. Let's see what kind of sunrise we get today.
The moment I stood watching the sky gradually brighten.
Translation:
English:
The morning atmosphere is fresh and the breeze is cool. Sometimes it feels like our lives, where we cannot predict the future or what will happen next. For me, every time I wake up early in the morning, no matter where I am, my heart always races. I don't know why, but every time it feels like my body's energy is increased, like I'm filling up on fuel. Haha, I'm getting carried away again. I don't want people to think I'm crazy. I'm already weird enough as it is.

The sun should have risen by now, but there was no sign of it. Feeling discouraged, I turned to my friend and said, "I think there are too many clouds. I bet the sun has already risen."

Is there anything else I can help you with?
Disheartened, I was about to fold up the tripod and leave when I looked again. Wow! The sun had risen and greeted us, and the tide was coming in.
A smile broke out on my face, and my heart raced. I've been watching you for three whole days, and you haven't disappointed me at all. We've come a long way.
Of all the days I've watched the sun rise in the past three days, today's sunrise is my favorite. The sun is perfectly round, just the way I like it.
Translation:
The sky is on our side, and our unwavering dedication has paid off. We've fallen head over heels for this place. The sky is ablaze with orange hues.
It's about time we headed back into town to grab some food.
My uncle is casting a fishing net right next to me.
This morning, I'm craving something light. I passed by this restaurant the other day, so I thought I'd give it a try today. I recommend Bird Dim Sum, located next to Krung Thong Plaza.
"What would you like to eat? I'll steam it for you. What should I eat? This looks delicious, and I like this one too."
Translation:

Let's go steam it. Let's go steam it.
Wait a minute, didn't you say you wanted to eat something light? You can't control yourself because you're hungry. An army marches on its stomach. It doesn't end there, the restaurant doesn't just sell dim sum.
Bring me hot tea and congee, please. I've lost my mind anyway.
This morning is very crowded, thank goodness we came early or else we wouldn't have a table for sure. After we're full, what's next? Go back to sleep in the room, right? You can see that we wake up early every day. And then after we eat breakfast, we go back to sleep every day, right? We wake up at 11 am as usual, take a shower, get dressed, put on makeup, and check out.
This is the front of the hotel.

This place also has a fitness center, but I don't have time. I come back when it's dark and leave when it's already morning. So I skip it, haha.

Woke up hungry again, so we went to eat at Ko Tong's noodle shop. Heard that their yellow noodles with tom yum are amazing, so we had to try it. I can't handle spicy food very well, but adding a little lime juice made it perfect. It was spicy, but I ate it because I loved it.
Our final stop for capturing stunning photos was at Baan Nang Laad, where the rice fields contrasted beautifully with the vast sky.
The group then drove to pick up Bom's older brother, Bobby, who would drive the girls to the airport in Hat Yai. On the way to the city, Bobby suggested stopping at a dessert shop. Bom asked if she wanted to eat there, as she did not like lotus seeds. The shop they visited was Man Duean 2, located in front of Saengthong School.
Bom suggested that they try the drink, and Ning agreed to give it a shot. Ning admitted that she doesn't usually eat Job's tears or black beans because she was forced to eat them as a child during kindergarten lunches. However, to everyone's surprise, Ning finished the entire glass within minutes. She exclaimed that trying new things can be surprisingly enjoyable.
It's time for Ningning to go to the airport. Oh, really have to go? Brother Bobby drove to the airport. Bom helped the crazy girl carry her luggage. Why are you alone? Why do you have so much stuff? You even bought some pandan mats to take back to your mother in Bangkok. I don't know if I'll be finished before your daughter.

Yesterday, I forgot to tell you. Before returning to the city, I asked my friend to take me to see the Talay Noi village where they make woven products from water hyacinth. I wanted to see what kind of products they export. My friend took me there, and I wanted to buy everything! I love things like this. The villagers collect water hyacinth and weave it into various products, such as bags and accessories, adding different colors and designs. It's incredible how much value they can create. Please support them! They are so friendly. My friend recommended a beautiful product, and I thought it was great. So, what do you think? Should I buy it? My friend is so nice, and if I buy it directly from the village, I can get a special price!

I couldn't find a picture of the shop owner, so I asked my friend to contact her on LINE. The shop owner is hilarious, she even sent me a picture of herself!
She is lovely and a shopkeeper who brings smiles to her customers.
It's time to say goodbye, it feels like we're flying back to a foreign country, doesn't it? No, we're going back to our bustling capital city of Bangkok.

Let's take a selfie before we go. I want to thank my dear friend again. I emphasize that she is my friend, okay?
