Greetings! This thread serves as a travelogue. Initially, I intended to create a review post, but I'm unsure what to review.
The story begins with a conversation among friends about taking a train trip to an unknown destination. Due to a sudden class cancellation by their professor, the three friends impulsively decided to embark on a spontaneous train journey the next day. With no specific destination in mind, one friend suggested visiting a waterfall in Saraburi. The group readily agreed, enthusiastically embracing the unplanned adventure.

Today, I met my friends at 7:30 am to prepare for our train journey from Ubon Ratchathani Railway Station. At 8:00 am, we waited for a taxi to take us to the station. On the first day, we were already excited. I wonder if we will be on time for the train. After waiting for about 15 minutes, the taxi still hadn't arrived. When we called to催促, they told us to find another one. Oh no, I'm afraid we might miss the train. T_T
The train finally arrived at the station.
It departed from Ubon Ratchathani at 8:45 AM and continued for 7-8 hours.
The atmosphere on the train was...
After an eight-hour train journey, I arrived at Kaeng Khoi Junction Railway Station.
The reason we got off at Kaeng Khoi was because we had read in a review post that if you want to go to Muak Lek Waterfall, you have to get off at this station (actually, you can get off at Muak Lek Station, we made a big mistake, haha).
Around 6 pm, we arrived at Kaeng Khoi and started looking for accommodation. It was difficult to find affordable options, as Kaeng Khoi is not a popular tourist destination. We walked around for a while, and it was almost 7 pm when we met a kind local named Mr. Sport. We were hesitant to ask for help, but he insisted on driving us around to find a place to stay. He took us to four different locations, spending almost an hour searching. Finally, we found the Ariya Resort, which cost 350 baht per night.
***Many thanks to the kind person who took us to find accommodation. We are very grateful and impressed by the people of Kaeng Khoi. ^^
The red car is that person's car. Thank you very much again (very impressed).
After checking into the accommodation, we went out to find something to eat. This meal cost us over a hundred baht per person.
After asking the locals for recommendations, they suggested Honey Moon & Sabai Nom, so we decided to relax and enjoy the atmosphere.
Wow, so much fun! (Impressed) July 30, 2015

After waking up early, I took a shower and packed my things. I took a bus to Kaeng Khoi town and waited for another bus at Kaeng Khoi temple to go to the Sapta Nang Phaya Waterfall.
After a roughly hour-long car ride, we finally arrived at the Seven Maidens Waterfall!
Let's find something to eat.
At the front of the park, there is the Seven Maidens Waterfall Temple, where you can go to pay respects to the Buddha and take photos.
Then prepare to return to Muak Lek.
The atmosphere at Muak Lek Railway Station
Travel from Mow Lek to Korat.
We arrived in Korat around 6:00 am and walked from the train station to pay respects to Yai Mo.
As the rain started to fall, we sought shelter at Klang Plaza shopping mall.
We decided to have lunch there.
When the rain stopped, I went out to walk around the market next to Ya Mo.
After our stomachs were full, we went to JJ Place to take a bath. The bathing fee was 10 baht per person.
Our plan for tonight was to party all night and catch the 6 am train back to Ubon. But we were disappointed to find that all the shops were closed because it was Asanha Bucha Day. T_T So we changed our plans and decided to drink some fresh milk instead. 5555 The atmosphere at the shop was really nice.
