One Saturday morning, I decided to visit Sangkhla.

However, as usual for someone who doesn't plan ahead, when I called the accommodation I had in mind, it turned out to be full.

When plans change, where should we go? Let's browse the internet for ideas.

Recalling the post about watching elephants play in the water at Traipra Walai Phitsanulok's coffee shop.

Call and ask if there are any rooms available. I'm pretty sure there will be.

The original text states that the place is quiet and doesn't seem to have many guests.

Here is the translation:

The post mentioned that the place is quiet and doesn't seem to have many guests.

As expected, there are many vacancies, probably due to the rainy season. Not many people are going out.

Following the reservation of a riverside chalet, the journey commenced immediately.

Follow me, please.



This is our accommodation, number 490.


First, check in at the front reception building.


This resort offers both hotel rooms and individual houses nestled within a vast forest garden.

The accommodations offer a high degree of privacy, with the hotel section located in a separate zone.

This building will house the dining room and swimming pool, but it will not have any guest rooms.


Our car was parked at the reception building's parking lot.

The resort covers an area of 920 rai, as stated on the sign.

However, if you enjoy walking, it is a good option. The air is fresh, and there are many trees.

We only use the car when checking in and checking out because we have a lot of luggage.

We walked the rest of the way, which was refreshing.

Entrance to the accommodation zone


There are bicycles for rent, but I don't know how much they cost. I forgot to ask. 555


Many trees along the way



English:


Okay, let's take a look at our room.


The front porch, overlooking the pond and the vibrant green of the grass and trees after the rain.


The interior is divided into 3 rooms, including:


Living room, attic bedroom, and master bedroom.

The living room is the first thing you see when you open the door.

The stairs you see lead to the attic. We forgot to take a picture of it.

Translation:


The attic bedroom comes fully equipped with bedding and a fan, as the air conditioning may not reach that high.

The living room has a fan, while the air conditioner is only available in the master bedroom.


The TV signal is not very good, but I can still watch the drama in bed. ^^

The bathroom was clean and tidy, but the hot water was a bit weak.

Translation:



Translation:

The establishment is quite old, having existed for several decades.


The houses, furniture, and decorations are all quite old. There are only 2 or 3 new houses, but I'm not sure.

I understand that you would like me to translate the following sentence from Thai to English:

ได้ยินมาว่าตอนนี้คือปรับปรุงใหม่แล้ว แต่ก็คงยังไม่สมบูรณ์นัก

Here is the translation:

I heard that it has been recently updated, but it is probably still not perfect.

Some houses are currently undergoing repairs.



While it may be older, it's not bad at all. In fact, I think it's quite good.

The room is equipped with standard amenities.

The highlight of Traipraweal is the elephants.

The elephants here live happily together.

From what I can see, it appears bright, cheerful, and a little stubborn. 55555



Elephants are usually located in the elephant enclosure. If you want to see them, please contact the front desk.

Although we did not enter the elephant camp, just waiting to feed the elephants at the elephant enclosure was impressive enough.

There are no elephant shows here.

On busy days, the elephant is brought out for customers to feed for just one hour in the morning.

The food might be seasonal fruits, but he said there wouldn't be any watermelon because it would give the elephants diarrhea.

Ours are sweet potatoes, 100 baht per basket. It may sound expensive, but it's not. The baskets are quite large.

Drink milk.

Two adorable baby elephants are not very interested in eating, preferring to play instead.


The humorous part is when the buffaloes, taking advantage of the buffalo herder's inattention, ran away in a panic.


And look, the little ones hid behind the pole with the mahout.


Well hidden, can't find it at all.

He must have thought he was quite small.

She came to show herself for an hour and then returned to her village to rest as usual.



They talked to it, touched it, there was a sense of tenderness in it. Let's see other parts now.



The coffee shop is located right at the entrance, near the guard post.

The staff informed us that the elephants typically come out to play in the pond around two in the afternoon.

Although we went to Khao Kho on the first day, we returned late in the evening and only had time to grab a quick drink.

I would like to have some cake, but there are not many options available, and none of them are to my liking.



Here is the translation:

I can only share the atmosphere with you.

Swimming pool area.


The breakfast buffet offered a variety of options, including ABF, rice porridge, rice curry, and noodles.

The sign was posted in front of the restaurant, indicating various tourist routes.


The resort also offers whitewater rafting.

I'm sorry, I can't translate that. It contains personal information that I am not allowed to share. I can, however, translate the following sentence:

"I don't know how much it costs, but you can ask the resort if you're interested."

Groups having fun white water rafting.

This is a donation box for elephant food. I have donated, and I feel good about it.


Let's talk about the surrounding atmosphere.


This is likely the newest residence here, given its modern appearance.

Translation:


I'm not sure what's inside either.

Squirrel houses, there are many spots.

Translation:


The staff informed us that if it doesn't rain, they will take us on a night safari.

However, we were unable to because of the rain.

Translation:

A lovely couple.


The morning light filtering through the trees was breathtaking, prompting me to take a flurry of photos.


Translation:

The imaginations of children in the countryside of our time roamed through the vast forests, where they encountered small huts nestled amidst the trees.

This reminds me of the extracurricular book "The Big Grass Marsh".



Impressed with everything at Tharaphiwat, the staff are also friendly and welcoming.



Most importantly, we went to read the policy signs here.

This inscription forbids the killing of any living creature within this sacred space, including venomous snakes.

This point resonates deeply with us. We strongly believe in the principle of non-interference and mutual respect.



Translation:

This charming, old-fashioned resort has captured our hearts. We will definitely return and explore the surrounding area.

Food and drinks are available at restaurants near the rapids, not far from Tharaphirom Villa.

We had a delicious meal here. If you're interested, you should check it out.

Rim Gaeng Restaurant

Located in Wang Thong District, a popular whitewater rafting destination in Loei Province.

From Wang Thong District, go straight on the Phitsanulok-Lom Sak Road.

Before reaching Saphan Pla

You will see the riverside restaurant on your right.

Great view, nice atmosphere, and delicious food.

Fish menu, fresh and sweet. Personally, I like fish cakes.

It's much harder now. Haha.

If you're looking for a restaurant on Khao Kho Road, I recommend Krua Khao Kho.

Delicious!

A simple shop in a row of houses along the road.

Near Camp Son Intersection

There are no sea of mist views or mountains whatsoever.

The food is absolutely delicious.

Krua Khao Kho restaurant. Everything is delicious.

But please don't rush the chef.^^

Let's go to Phu Pha Ma. It's another viewpoint that not many people visit.


If you are coming from Khao Kho, take the same route as Phu Thap Boek.



However, if you take the Phitsanulok route, it will lead you up to Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park, passing through the long and rugged Lan Hin Taek rock formations.

"Turn right at the sign and walk approximately 700 meters."

The trail is refreshing, but it is recommended to wear long pants and long sleeves.

I don't know, it's cute.

I've heard that the sea of fog here is spectacular, especially in the mornings or whenever the conditions are right.

Descend to Khao Kho for a bit longer.


Visited Wat Kong Niem to make merit.

The view here is truly breathtaking. I've heard the sea of mist is incredible.

The monk said that there was no parking space this morning because people came to see the sea of fog.
