Not too fast, not too slow, not rushed, not hurried, at "Baan Kokkod".

Note: Permission was obtained from the individuals in the photo. It's been over a year... with faded memories.

Simply exhausted from daily life.

Just want to take a break and listen to the wind ...

Just want to dip my feet in the water.

"Just this… makes me miss you so much already. 'Hug'."

Notes:

• The original text uses informal language and emojis, which have been translated into a more formal tone.
• The phrase "ก ก ก อ ด" is a Thai onomatopoeia for a hug, which has been translated into English as "hug."
• The ellipsis (…) indicates a trailing off of thought or speech, which has been preserved in the translation.

On February 7th, 2015, we embarked on our journey from Bangkok early in the morning. As impecunious individuals, we lacked personal transportation (but we still enjoyed traveling).

Seeking taxi service from workplace to Ban Kokod, Kanchanaburi, for 5 passengers at a rate of 3,000 baht.

Luxury dome tent by the reservoir with stunning million-dollar views. 2 bedrooms + 1 extra bed + breakfast included. 1 night / 2,700 Baht / 5 people.

Alright, let's not talk about the journey, how many hours we were lost before we reached Khok Khot...

Before reaching the entrance… you will find Krua Khun Lung restaurant. Don't forget to try the local dessert "Rong Thong" or buy some to take with you.

It is unclear whether the GGGOD currently offers food services. If not, you can order from Uncle's restaurant for delivery.

(However, in our case, we had an older woman with us who had packed rice and water from Bangkok. She also brought sun-dried pork, sticky rice, and jaew bong.)

Oh, that's so satisfying! Haha!

As soon as I arrived, the dogs rushed to greet me, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Oh my goodness! You brought me Krispy Kreme?!

After greeting the pastry chefs, Ms. Ben escorted us to our room.

After packing, take a walk outside to enjoy the fresh air and scenery.

The first point is the bathroom. The news is that even though it is a shared bathroom, it is very clean.

Explore the surrounding areas behind the zone.

In the late afternoon, the sound of the wind rustling through the reeds is truly beautiful.

Watch the video

In the evening, Mr. Chain informed us that there would be a concert by the water at the raft (Mr. Chain played the violin for us). We were told to hurry and reserve seats. I sat in the front row with my feet in the water. The atmosphere at that moment... well, I don't want to describe it.

Translation:

After a small concert, we showered and ate the food we brought from Bangkok. We lay down and chatted, listening to the sound of crickets chirping in the rice fields. Deep down, we were also afraid of snakes.

Within hours, the surrounding nature automatically wakes us up, almost eliminating the need for an alarm clock.

Capturing the ambiance before showering, having breakfast, and returning to Bangkok.

Is this what natural drinking tastes like? So fragrant, sweet, and intoxicating... I wish I could bottle it up and take it back to Bangkok to cuddle with.

Translation:

As if she had never left,
Still standing, smiling, encouraging,
In the memory (In the memory)
If life is as fast as a dream,
Once upon a time, I'm glad we met.

*** Once upon a time, it's good to meet you. ***
