This trip was booked as a package deal with Paa 500 Rai a year in advance, and today is finally the day we get to go.

We booked our trip for April 10th-11th, staying at the Pae resort on the first night and The Nin resort on the second night. Since we were driving ourselves from Sriracha, we had to plan our itinerary carefully. As a result, our 2-night package turned into a 5-night trip.

Note 1: Many pictures.

Note: Only two photos of the accommodation are available.

Note 3 This review is typed and posted continuously.

We started from Sriracha, agreeing to depart at 3:00 AM to avoid traffic congestion in Bangkok.

After a good night's sleep, we arrived in Pranburi in the morning and stopped by the market for breakfast.

Due to the early hour, we decided to make a stop in Prachuap Khiri Khan by visiting Khao Chong Krachok.

The abundance of monkeys, their tendency to obstruct the path, and the unpleasant odor of their droppings prompted us to ascend slightly to take in the view.

The photo was taken and immediately posted.

We encountered a scary monkey, so we went to see the spectacled langurs instead. They were in a fenced area at the 5th Air Force Wing. Since it was a military area, we had to exchange our IDs and return the same way we came.

Last year, there was no need to exchange tickets. There were also attractions inside, such as the museum, Khao Lom Muak, and Ao Manao.

Museum Section

The museum section was open and the air conditioning was on, but we were unable to enter. We don't know why. However, we were able to take pictures of the wooden house of the old soldier.

This is a spectacled langur. The langurs here are polite and well-behaved, and they do not snatch food. They will gently take it from your hand.

The mountain where the hat is located also offers hiking activities, but access is limited to certain days. For more information, please refer to the official website.

After taking in the breathtaking views and enjoying the cool breeze, our thoughts turned to lunch, as our breakfast had long since been devoured during our ascent of Khao Chong Krachok.

We continued driving and stopped at a familiar Muslim restaurant. It's a simple, local eatery with delicious food and affordable prices. The restaurant is located just past the Wa Ko area.

After we finished eating, we continued our journey until we reached Chumphon, where we planned to stay.

However, since it was already 3 pm, we decided to continue on to Surat Thani instead.

Upon arrival, we checked into our accommodation at The One. Overall, it was a decent place to stay, with breakfast included for 850 baht per night for two people.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

In the evening, we walked to the market at the shrine, which was quite tiring.

The return trip was on a Subaru bus, which cost 20 baht per person (I believe this is the standard fare for the entire city route).

Breakfast line at The One

After breakfast, we traveled to the 500-rai office to prepare. The journey from Surat Thani took one hour.

Please provide the text you want me to translate.

The road near Baan Ta Khun is currently under construction. At first, I didn't notice it, but luckily my travel companion did.

At 9 am, the trip began at the first stop, the Ratchaprapha Dam ridge.

Embarking on the boat, the guide narrates historical anecdotes as we cruise along.

A must-visit spot, the Three Musketeers Hill.

We have been traveling for an hour now.

Check the number of ships first.

From Khao Sam Kler, we will travel for another 45 minutes to reach our accommodation, which is the furthest among the private floating houses.

Upon arrival, we immediately had lunch, but I didn't take any pictures.

After finishing their meals, if the students do not participate in additional activities, they must rest in their rooms, which are not yet air-conditioned, as electricity is generated by a generator.

The resort will only be open during the night.

Around 3 pm, the resort will provide snacks.

For those who are not afraid of the heat, kayaking is also an option.

An evening view of the resort.

One more highlight to mention: at Spa Fish, you can dip your feet directly into the water (not just through glass) and feed the fish.

Sometimes, fish come and suck on my toes. It's actually quite nice. This spot is right in the middle of the main pier.

Nighttime view of the resort with the Milky Way visible.

The morning program includes a boat trip to observe the mist and wildlife.

Coffee and bread will be served before boarding the boat.

Today, View encountered a hornbill and a gibbon.

After enjoying the mist, we returned to the raft, had breakfast, and checked out.

They then disembarked to continue to The Nine.

Disembarking from the raft, we were taken to eat "Khanom Jeen" at the "Zom Kadang Nga" restaurant, driving in a convoy.

The city center is quite complex, and it's easy to get lost if you're not careful. In fact, one member of our group got lost there.

(The tour guide does not recommend driving on your own.)

After finishing our delicious Khanom Jeen, we continued our journey to the sacred Phra That Si Surat.

The journey to The Nine took almost five hours in the evening due to frequent stops for shopping.

Translation:

This gave us a little time to play in the sea.

This is a picture of our room. Our group got a houseboat. The room is beautiful, but it is difficult to get into bed because you have to climb up.

Private and very clean beach. The water is also clear.

The seafood dinner was average in flavor.

As the first light of dawn broke, they awoke to capture the breathtaking spectacle of the Milky Way.

The sun rises, capturing the morning light.

After enjoying the scenery, we had breakfast before setting sail to see the dolphins.

Once the boat starts, we can look for dolphins. But until we reach Koh Nu Nok, we still haven't seen any.

Or will we miss it? As soon as we got on the boat, the driver said that someone nearby had seen dolphins, so we went to follow them. But when we got there,

The dolphins have all fled.

The boat driver said, "Okay, let's go back. If we're lucky, we might find it on the way." On the way back, we saw a group of boats anchored.

We wasted no time and parked the car.

And suddenly, a pod of dolphins appeared, diving and surfacing in a playful display.

It was a real treat to watch.

The image shown above is a screenshot from a video.

Upon returning to the resort, we checked out, marking the end of our trip to the 500-acre resort.

Our part is not over yet because we will continue to Khao Kiriwong.

We have booked a homestay at Phetkhiri Homestay for 350 baht per person, including dinner.

The accommodation was like staying at a relative's house in the countryside. The food was delicious and not too spicy.

Bicycles are available for rent at 50 baht per bike.

In the evening, we rode our bikes to explore and found a newly opened accommodation, but it was not a homestay.

Name: Namchai Khlong Resort. Offers hut-style rooms for 700 baht per night, accommodating two guests. Includes a private bathroom and breakfast.

A converted container for 1,200 baht per night. It has a TV, air conditioning, hot water, and a bathroom.

I didn't stay, I just went in to take some photos without permission.

Khiriwong has witnessed a significant increase in accommodations of this type, accompanied by a substantial rise in traffic volume, leading to frequent traffic jams.

Air-conditioned room

While we are here, let's take some pictures of Khao Kiriwong.

There are elephants too.

Translation:

In the late morning, we initially planned to buy souvenirs and enjoy the atmosphere. However, due to the weather and heavy traffic, we decided to leave Khao Kiri Wong at 10 am.

On our way back, we drove through Lanska district and headed straight to Surat Thani before stopping for the night in Chumphon.

Initially, I planned to stay in Pranburi, but considering the distance, it seemed likely that I would arrive after dark. Therefore, I decided to stay in Chumphon instead.

Before reaching Chumphon, we stopped by Suan Nai Dam, a collection of various types of toilets, and enjoyed coffee served in toilet bowls.

Our accommodation in Chumphon is booked at Thanisa Resort, 800 baht per night including breakfast.

The accommodation looks good, the rooms are very spacious, and the breakfast is okay.

In the afternoon, we will visit the Khao Matree viewpoint, which is not far away.

Upon arrival, due to heavy traffic, officers held back vehicles, waiting for available space before allowing them to proceed.

The view is divided into two types: the city view, which overlooks the river, and the sea view, which overlooks the sandy beach of Hat Sai Ri.

For dinner, we went down to Je Aang Restaurant at Hat Sai Ree, but it was very crowded and we had to wait a long time.

In the morning, we visited the Nong Yai Development Project under the Royal Initiative in Chumphon Province before returning.
