This trip happened suddenly before the end of the year

Early December, the weather started to cool down a bit

One Sunday off, I wanted to find a nearby place to travel, not too far away.

So we chose to go to a nearby province, "Nakhon Nayok", which is just around the corner.

The thing is, I wanted to take pictures, haha, there's no other reason.

So I invited my team members from the Mae Hong Son trip to go on a photo trip together.

What else is there to do in Nakhon Nayok? This is the question that comes to mind before embarking on a trip.

We are tired of the same old tourist attractions in Nakhon Nayok, such as waterfalls, Luang Pho Pa Daeng, and Phra Phikanet.

Or, we could visit the Khun Da Dam, a magnificent water barrier. Ultimately, let's explore in our own unique way, finding beautiful spots for some stylish photos.

Today, we have four choices for our adventure:

• Red Lotus Field at Ban Na: Immerse yourself in the vibrant beauty of blooming red lotuses.
• Huai Pru Reservoir: Discover the serenity of this picturesque reservoir.
• Noeng Chachacha Noodle Shop: Savor delicious noodles and dumplings at this local favorite.
• Chulabhornwanaram Temple or Bamboo Forest Arch: Explore the tranquility of this temple and its enchanting bamboo grove.

We set out on the morning of December 11, 2016, at the end of last year.

On this relaxing Sunday, driving is a real pleasure, perhaps because most tourists are

The long Constitution Day weekend is a great opportunity to get away. It only takes an hour's drive to get here.

First stop: Red Lotus Field at Ban Na

According to reviews, it is recommended to arrive early in the morning, as the queue can become excessively long after 10:00 AM.

The lotus flowers will have closed completely and will not be as beautiful and blooming as they were in the morning.

It is recommended to arrive around 7-8 am.

Villagers collect lotus flowers to sell to tourists who will take them home.

Or you can use it as a photo prop, which is another cool way to go.

Wherever you go in Thailand, there will always be a father watching over you. Seeing this, I am reminded of His Majesty with all my heart.

We arrived around 7 am, allowing us to admire the red lotus field in full bloom amidst the rice paddy.

The pink of the blooming evening primrose contrasts with the lush green of the rice fields.

Brings color to the fields in a truly authentic rural lifestyle.

Overjoyed and beaming with happiness, their smile rivaling the blooming lotus flower.

The lotus flowers are in full bloom, competing with each other in their beauty. It's truly a magnificent sight.

The scene includes a boat for taking pictures, and the visit is completely free of charge.

This is another must-visit spot in Nakhon Nayok.

Point 2: Huai Pru Reservoir

A small reservoir with beautiful natural scenery.

We originally planned to watch the sunrise at the Huai Pru Reservoir, but we unexpectedly encountered a field of red lotus flowers blocking our way first.

Unfortunately, I can't translate this sentence without the original text. Please provide the original text you want me to translate, and I'll be happy to help.

The atmosphere is so refreshing, just thinking about it makes me feel good.

The cool breeze dried the turtle's shell. The two young men sat there throwing stones, wondering who could throw the farthest.

The naughty child looks very serious!

Surrounded by nature and conveniently located near Bangkok.

This location is suitable for a one-day trip and offers nearby attractions.

Places to visit include: Saithong Reservoir, Khun Dan Prakarn Chon Dam, Wang Takrai Waterfall, and Sarika.

The reservoir is surrounded by mountains, preserving their natural beauty.

For those who are looking to take photos, please refrain from marking the milestones with pens.

It would be great if everyone could help keep this beautiful place clean by taking their food waste with them when they leave.

We should preserve it for those who have not yet visited, so they can immerse themselves in the atmosphere and beautiful views.

This location is actually quite suitable for pre-wedding photoshoots. Having a beautiful backdrop like this is already half the battle.

It took several attempts to get this shot, leaving both the jumper and the person holding them breathless with laughter.

And the timing of the shutter release must be perfect.

In addition, there are rows of grass growing around the reservoir.

This photo makes me think I'm in Japan, the land of raw fish.

I have a desire to be photographed in a magazine, so I tried something new. I jumped up and sat on the roof of a car.

The sentence translates to: "It is necessary to sit on the edge of the car because the strength is greater than the middle of the car roof."

The process of obtaining each image was incredibly challenging.

Moreover, this is a popular cycling route for cyclists.

After walking and taking photos for a while, we encountered several groups of tourists, including a group of cyclists.

Both motorcycle gangs and regular car drivers like us...

The Huai Pru Reservoir is truly a place of solace for many.

I would be glad to translate the provided text:

I highly recommend experiencing the stunning beauty of nature here.

Point 3 l Noodle-Dumpling Shop "Nong Cha Cha Cha"

My stomach is starting to growl. It's almost 1 pm already.

As we were wasting time debating whether to go to the famous Uncle Phai's coconut shell noodle shop in Nakhon Nayok,

The journey from Huai Pru Reservoir to Uncle Phea's shop takes almost an hour, as the shop is located near the Khun Dan Dam.

Upon arriving at the parking lot, it became evident that the situation was chaotic. A large number of tour buses had already arrived, resulting in a long queue of vehicles waiting to park.

Retreat quickly and rest your stomach. You can always come back and eat another bowl of noodles later.

I have heard of this place for a long time! They say they sell delicious wonton noodles, but I have never had the chance to try them myself.

Today, I had the opportunity to visit the main branch. Usually, I only see the franchise's food cart in my neighborhood.

At this flagship location, what else is available besides wonton noodles?

At first, I was a bit apprehensive, fearing the crowds as much as Uncle Phea. Fortunately, the restaurant had enough tables to accommodate all the customers.

I only realized that there were both indoor and outdoor seating after I finished eating and was walking to the bathroom.

Although there is the option to enjoy noodles outdoors, which is more relaxed and less crowded than sitting inside the restaurant.

I'm curious about the interior design style of the shop. It seems like a collection of various artworks.

And his collection, which is incredibly diverse, including superheroes and bicycles.

A motorbike, a license plate, old electrical appliances, and a framed newspaper clipping with news about him.

Personal family photos are also included.

We entered the restaurant, which has both fan and air-conditioned rooms on both the upper and lower floors.

Feel free to choose, but it's likely to be quite crowded on Saturdays and Sundays, so you may not have much choice.

Sit wherever you like. 5555555

Desserts are served here, including ice cream, shaved ice, and other sweet and refreshing treats.

This image resembles an enlarged version of a coin from the reign of King Rama IX.

Today, our table is right next to this coin. It's on the second floor.

I was lucky enough to meet the real Nong, with his real voice, no advertising involved! He came into the store and was constantly taking care of the customers.

For those who haven't gotten a table yet, please inform the staff and they will assist you. If you haven't received your food or have been waiting for a long time, the staff will follow up for you.

The restaurant is very well-organized. Once you are seated, you can mark your order on the menu paper.

There are many menus to choose from. In addition to wonton noodles, there are also rice dishes such as braised pork rice and roast pork and crispy pork rice.

There are also menus that can be adapted to go with the noodles. If you are visiting Nakhon Nayok, be sure to stop by and try it.

There are many menus to choose from. Once you have ticked your order, you can submit the form and pay for it yourself.

There is no need to call for someone to collect the money, as the restaurant is large and spacious, and the staff may not be able to attend to everyone.

We paid for the meal with the eldest son of Brother Nohng.

While waiting to pay, I caught a glimpse of them making noodles with great enthusiasm. I couldn't help but notice that their faces looked familiar.

Wow, it's his wife! She's cooking herself. The whole family is here to take care of the business.

Working together to earn a living. It's lovely.

Once finished, he called the waiter to pick up the food according to the queue. Hey, the red pork and crispy pork rice looks so delicious.

The snacks have arrived! Grilled meatballs, 10 baht per skewer, but they are incredibly delicious. The pork meatballs are bouncy and the dipping sauce is amazing.

In the original text, the speaker is asking for a recommendation at a wonton noodle shop. They specifically want something that is "original."

Here are a few possible translations, depending on the desired level of formality and the context:

• Formal: "At a wonton noodle shop, what is the most traditional dish to order?"
• Informal: "What's the classic wonton noodle dish here?"
• Direct: "I'd like to try the original wonton noodles, please."

The best translation will depend on the specific situation and the speaker's intent.

Jade noodles with red pork wontons, dry, regular size, 55 baht. Another delicious and complete bowl.

This dish is braised pork rice. The pork is tender and chewy. This dish costs around 65 baht.

"Delicious again, what is this? 555555 There's nothing to criticize."

The last dish was a mixed menu, dry noodles with green curry and boiled eggs, which was also delicious.

Oh… Everything is delicious, isn't it?

The price may be a bit high for ordinary roast pork noodles, but it's okay to come to the main branch once in a while.

Every dish is delicious, no disappointment at all. If you are passing by, I recommend it. You won't be disappointed, turn in right away!

This is not a fan or a hype, but it's really delicious.

Fourth point l Chulabhornwanaram Temple or Bamboo Forest Archway

Following the map, we almost missed the turn. The entrance to the alley is very narrow.

Only those with sharp eyes will spot the wooden sign marking the entrance to the temple. This hidden gem is a new tourist destination in Nakhon Nayok.

Tourists who visit this place must take a photo as a souvenir.

This place is characterized by a bamboo forest, with tall, curved bamboo stalks that meet overhead, forming a natural archway. It's a popular spot for pre-wedding photoshoots.

Two years ago, I visited this place on a motorbike and encountered a team shooting a pre-wedding photoshoot. However, at that time, the place wasn't as popular as it is now.

No one knew about it as much as they do today. This is my second visit, and the atmosphere around the place has changed.

The tourist parking area is full of vendors selling their wares at the entrance.

Unlike two years ago, there are now significantly more tourists visiting. As a result, it is more common to have other people in your photos. The number of people in your photos will depend on the photographer's choice of angle.

The scenery is so lush and refreshing, why are you opening an umbrella? Are you hot? [ The mischievous nephew wondered. ]

The last one is a bonus, you can't really call it a tourist attraction.

Local reviews mention a sand dune resembling a mountain located in the same alley as the temple, offering unique photo opportunities.

I wanted to come see and take pictures.

I initially inquired with the staff near Wat Chulabhornwanaram, showing them a picture and asking:

Have you ever seen the place in this picture? Where is it? He looked confused for a moment.

"They shook their heads and said they had never seen it before. Wow! Does no one know this?"

I entered the alley but didn't see anything. As I was leaving, I happened to glance to my left.

Hey, is that it? Turn here, please. Haha. I don't know exactly where we are in the alley.

Pay close attention when exiting the alley.

The area is a vast, open field of pure sand, with only one house nearby where we parked our car.

This sand dune appears to have been piled high and then left exposed to the elements, resulting in its solidification.

The ground surrounding this sand mountain is extremely dry and cracked.

Farewell, little bird. The sun has set and the wind has fallen. It's time to go home!
