Let's first get to know Baan Keeree Wong.

Many people may have heard the name Khao Kiriwong.

From the mudslide incident that happened more than twenty years ago.

The current Keereewong village is truly breathtakingly beautiful.

History of Ban Kiriwong (Information from the Kiriwong Website)

Note: I have translated the sentence into English while maintaining the HTML structure and using a simple and short tone of voice. I have not attempted to answer any questions or evaluate the task from the input text.

The Kiriwong Village is an ancient settlement dating back over 300 years.

The first generation of villagers who migrated to settle here...

Founded during the reign of King Rama I, it is located on the plain between the Luang Mountains.

The area is called "Moo 5 Ban Khun Nam" because it is located at the headwaters of the river.

And is a source of various plant species.

Later, it was renamed Ban Kiriwong.

It means a village surrounded by mountains.

As the population grew, the village was divided into four separate villages.

This translates to:

Covering an area of approximately 8,173 rai.

Comprising:

• Village No. 5, Ban Kiriwong
• Village No. 8, Ban Kirithong

Note: The original text is in Thai and uses a simple, direct style. The translation maintains this style while providing the necessary information in English.

The inhabitants of Kiriwong live a peaceful life in a kinship-based society.

The primary occupation is mixed fruit gardening, known as "Samrom Garden".

Examples include mangosteen, rambutan, durian, and stink bean.

On November 22, 1988, a major flood occurred.

Hundreds of houses, including Wat Kiriwong, were swept away by the flood.

The people of Kiriwong have preserved the damaged ubosot and houses as a memorial.

Our journey this time begins in Bangkok.

Translation:

Departed at 6:00 PM and arrived in Surat Thani around midnight or 1:00 AM, not entirely sure.

Translation:

Staying in Surat Thani for 1 night, the next morning after breakfast, we headed straight to Khao Kiri Wong.

The road to Wiang Sa district is beautiful all the way.

The verdant mountains and trees lined the path.

The route sometimes passes by beautiful houses.

Passing by Wat That Noi, I decided to stop and pay my respects at the temple.

The temple is holding a unique floating cloth offering ceremony.

Translation:

The provided text is empty. There is nothing to translate.

Would you like some sticky rice with chicken? We'll travel at a leisurely pace, no need to rush.

Let the GPS guide you, even if you get lost sometimes.

Translation:

As you enter the Lan Sak district, you will find streams and waterfalls to visit throughout your journey.

We didn't stop by, but we went to soak in the water at Khao Kiri Wong.

Not far, from Surat Thani to Khao Wong.

It feels as close as going from Bangkok to Ayutthaya.

Entering the Ban Ki Ri Wong area, everywhere you look is green, a lush green.

It feels like a dream, doesn't it? But that's how we truly feel.

The landscape here is surrounded by mountains.

A stream flows through, with mist lingering gracefully.

She is so beautiful, her beauty is indescribable.

Everything here seems perpetually juicy.

During our visit, there was light rain.

Locals say that Kiriwong experiences frequent rainfall, which contributes to its refreshing atmosphere.

A Tranquil Haven: Fresh Air and Serenity

This place offers a tranquil haven, where the air is fresh and clean, and a sense of serenity prevails.

**Mount Kiriwong is known as...**

**Khiriwong is the place with the best air quality in Thailand.**

Based on the measurements of the Office of Air and Noise Quality

Pollution Control Department in 2009

Sleep soundly.

Life here is simple and straightforward. Most, if not all, people...

She works as a fruit gardener. This place is famous for its fruits, especially mangosteen.

Translation:

"I heard that the export standards are very high. It's a pity we didn't go during the fruit season, otherwise we could have enjoyed them."

I vaguely remember seeing mangosteen from Kiriwong for sale at Paragon.

Nearly a thousand baht, oh my.

I'd be glad to translate the sentence for you:

Original sentence: ไว้คราวหน้าจะไปให้ตรงกับฤดูผลไม้

Translation: Next time, I'll visit during the fruit season.

Honestly, I can't afford to buy it at Paragon.

The locals' mode of transportation. Most of the orchards are located on the hills.

Of course, the terrain here is mountainous.

The queue for the shared taxi is located at the Khlong Tha Dee Bridge in the heart of Khiri Wong.

No need to worry about the difficulty of traveling up and down the hills if you don't have a car.

No problem at all. The songthaews from Nakhon Si Thammarat city center come here comfortably.

The roads are very convenient, and Khao Wong is not far from the city center.

Khao Kiri Wong is a stunning cycling route.

There seems to be a bicycle rental shop in the village.

Tourists can inquire with locals for more information.

We are not very good at cycling, so we prefer to walk. 5555

Cyclists can take a break at the roadside pavilion after a tiring ride.

This appears to have been a bridge that collapsed during a mudslide long ago.

In an era before many were born.

They intentionally left it like this to commemorate the event.

This is a popular spot for locals to relax and take photos, especially in the mornings and evenings.

Relaxing in the cool water, people are crossing the river here.

Translation:

Motorcycles are also available in this area, with a few shops and restaurants scattered around for visitors.

This is a local shop, not a 7-Eleven.

Translation:

Wow, that was incredibly satisfying!

Enjoy a bowl of noodles with a view like this, are you interested?

The stream teems with fish, as it is considered a sanctuary.

Accommodation options in Khao Kiri Wong will be discussed in the next comment.

Translation:

I'm too lazy to separate the threads. I'm tired. 5555

Let's continue with the topic of accommodation.

At Kiriwong, most accommodations are homestays, allowing visitors to live and eat with local residents.

There are few resorts in the area, and those that exist are relatively small.

There are many homestays to choose from.

We only have two rooms available.

This is a gamble, as we came to Khao Kiri Wong without any prior knowledge.

Browsing the web, I stumbled upon a page mentioning the Kiriwong family.

One of the many must-visit destinations in the country.

We decided to take the plunge and find accommodation on the spot.

If there is no room in Khao Kiri Wong, return to Nakhon Si Thammarat city to sleep, as it is not far away.

On the way from Surat Thani

I searched the web for as much information as I could find.

Found the Facebook page of Khiriwong Riverview.

The photos look good.

It seems they have just opened the accommodation service.

He is usually a restaurant owner.

We called to inquire and luckily there was one room available for us.

Out of the total number of rooms at the resort, there are only 2 rooms available!

Knowing that there were only a limited number of rooms available, I decided to take the risk and book one immediately, rather than waiting and potentially missing out.

It's not hard to find, as it seems everyone in the area knows each other. Once you're in Kiriwong, just ask the locals.

Drive across the stream at Hin Ta-Ha pier, and you'll reach the accommodation.

Concealed within the thicket.

Translation:

This is a photo I took the next morning after checking in.

Due to its dual function as a restaurant, the establishment experiences a significant influx of patrons during the daytime.

Upon check-in, the owner was attending to customers at the restaurant.

She said you can choose any room over there (meaning the other side of the shop).

First come, first served. Choose whichever room you like.

Where is the room key?

No, the door cannot be closed. You do not need a key.

Wait, how am I supposed to sleep now?

The newly built accommodation is entirely made of wood.

Due to frequent rainfall, the wood has swollen, causing the door to become inoperable. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

The owner explained with an awkward smile.

(However, I believe there shouldn't be any problems now, as it has been a long time.)

Alright, let's give it a try. This area seems peaceful and safe.

Sleeping with the door slightly open should not be a problem.

Let's take a look at the rooms. Both rooms look the same.

We opted for a room with a less swollen door frame, ensuring a tighter seal.

The room is spacious and clean.

The amenities are complete according to general standards.

The bathroom does not have a wet and dry separation, but it is not a problem for us.

It is relatively convenient.

For those who like to travel at home but still want to be comfortable, like us.

It has a balcony for relaxing and sleeping.

Let's talk about food.

Since he is already a restaurant, let's leave our stomachs here.

The food was delicious, with a true southern Thai flavor.

The price of food may be a bit expensive.

It's worth it, we think.

Free bananas are available for you to take.

Fresh from the garden, very fragrant.

Sitting here eating, wow, so good.

The food we ordered was delicious, but quite spicy.

The breakfast was enjoyed in the same spot, amidst a light mist and flowers glistening with morning dew.

Breakfast is rice porridge. You can choose chicken, pork, fish, or shrimp.

Served with soft-boiled eggs, tea, coffee, and self-service brewed beverages.

The dessert depends on what the owner brought in.

Our sticky rice with custard is fragrant and delicious.

Enjoying a meal while taking in the beauty of nature. Life is refreshing.

It's important to note that Kiriwong doesn't offer the trendy, modern vibes you might find elsewhere.

Translation:

This place still retains its authentic rural charm, offering nothing but nature, tranquility, and serenity.

Dense green foliage, interspersed with wisps of white mist.

The cuisine is typical of southern Thailand.

Those who enjoy a slow-paced life, we recommend it.

However, if you prefer a modern style with trendy props for your photos, this location may not be suitable for you.

For us, Khao Kiriwong is an unforgettable experience.

Everything here is simple yet charming. The people are friendly.

A peaceful and beautiful village...

This concludes the review.

.....................................................................

One last thing before you leave, don't forget to stop by and try Auntie Kiew's delicious rice noodles.

It is said to be a good product of Nakhon Si Thammarat, but I don't know for sure.

While I was at Khao Kiri Wong, I posted a picture and my friend commented on it.

Remind me to eat Auntie Green's rice noodles.

We understand that this is a typical Thai noodle shop.

Following directions from locals, they eventually found their way.

"What the heck?! Is this a noodle shop or a wedding/ordination ceremony?"

Cars were parked bumper-to-bumper from the main road all the way into the side streets. The crowd was massive.

Here it is, Auntie Green.

We ordered a small amount of food because there were too many people.

It's not very convenient to sit and try all these different curries, as I don't want to keep the people waiting for a table.

The curry was delicious, with a rich and flavorful broth. There was a wide variety of curry broths to choose from.

The vegetables are abundant, impressive, and very affordable.

Let's try it and see.

Okay, that's the end of the review. Goodbye! ^^
