Welcome, fellow Read me travelers!

Journey Travel with us is proud to present our ninth installment, where we invite you to follow our footsteps and experience the joy of travel, food, and accommodation.

Let us captivate you with the destinations we have explored, inspiring you to embark on your own adventures.

Embark on a journey through the pristine mangrove forests, home to ancient mangrove trees dating back over a century.

Venture to the nearby Wat Tham Khao Tao, a sacred temple nestled amidst the natural wonders.

Follow us as we explore these hidden gems...

A serene atmosphere with a refreshing breeze amidst a lush pine forest, creating a perfect ambiance for relaxation on this leisure day.

Looking east from the front, we will see Pran Buri Beach, a peaceful beach with rows of casuarinas and beach pines stretching parallel to the sea. It is perfect for spreading a mat, eating, sleeping, relaxing, and enjoying activities with the family.

Upon arrival, the first priority was to use the restroom to avoid any discomfort during the journey. This demonstrates a high level of preparedness.

The wooden walkway extends, allowing us to conveniently explore the ecosystem and mangrove forest up close.

The recommended periods for studying the nature trail at Pranburi Forest Park are as follows:

Morning: 6:00 AM - 10:00 AM. After 10:00 AM, I'm already stressed out. Haha.

The **golden hour**, between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM, offers the most ideal lighting conditions for photography.

Walking Path: Walk clockwise around the loop. One lap is exactly 1,000 meters.

Upon entering, you will find circular seating. Feel free to sit wherever you feel comfortable, whether on the left or right side.

Walking alone would take about 30 minutes, but taking photos along the way, it would probably take more than an hour. 5555555

The scenery on both sides of the road made us imagine that we had somehow ended up in the middle of a forest.

Along the walkway, there are information boards about "Life in the Mangrove Forest".

A diverse array of species can be encountered along the trail, including the vibrantly colored fiddler crabs and the remarkable mudskippers.

In addition, various species of mangrove trees were observed, such as Avicennia marina, Sonneratia alba, Sonneratia caseolaris, and Bruguiera gymnorrhiza.

Gain both knowledge and beautiful photos to keep as a souvenir. It's more than worth it!

Enjoyable walk, comfortable sitting and standing. You can rest and take pictures anywhere you like, as there are not many people around.

Welcome to the 100-Year Mangrove Forest.

The image evokes a sense of wonder and mystery, transporting the viewer into an enchanted forest. Its captivating beauty and enigmatic allure invite exploration and discovery.

The mangrove forest here remains pristine, offering an unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages, especially those with a penchant for adventure.

In addition to exploring the ecosystem on foot, visitors can also enjoy a boat tour to observe the natural beauty of the mangrove forest.

They walked until they reached the pavilion by the canal and stopped to rest.

The view from this small canal is quite beautiful.

Continuing on, you will reach a section where the towering trees converge, forming a verdant canopy overhead.

We continued walking until we reached the landmark of this place.

"Wooden Observation Tower" was built for tourists to climb up and take pictures, enjoying beautiful views from a high angle.

This three-story observation tower is sturdily built. Be sure to hold onto the handrail before ascending the stairs.

From our vantage point, we are treated to a breathtaking 360-degree panorama of the surrounding forest. The verdant expanse stretches as far as the eye can see, offering a feast for the senses and a sense of tranquility that makes it difficult to tear oneself away.

The wind is blowing so hard! It's hot, isn't it? 55555555

The exact method used to capture this high-angle shot remains unclear. Was it taken using a drone?

"Nooooooooo!!!!!" (high-pitched) 5555555

Note: The original text includes non-standard Thai characters and informal language. The translation aims to capture the meaning and tone while using standard English.

This angle is the highlight of this place. If you come here and don't take a picture from this angle, it's like you never came here at all.

Continuing on from this point, the path will eventually loop back and meet itself, completing a full circle.

It's almost noon...we need to find something easy and spicy to eat.

Shop location: Drive out of the park and follow the road until you reach a railway crossing. The shop is located at the three-way intersection, facing the view in the picture.

We have arrived! Let's head down to Laab Ubon Restaurant for a delicious and spicy Isaan feast. Don't worry if you're not sure what to order, we'll help you choose the best dishes.

How old are you, chicken?

The food prices were reasonable, and the taste was good. We each ordered a different dish.

After a satisfying meal, we decided to visit a temple to make merit.

Not far from Pranburi Forest Park, we found

"Khao Tao Cave Temple."

A temple perched on a hill overlooking the sea, offering breathtaking views and numerous sacred objects for worship and blessings.

The grand entrance resembles a cave, leading to a scene reminiscent of Chinese Mahayana Buddhism.

This area is also home to a local fishing community, with numerous fishing and tour boats docked in the vicinity.

A scenic walkway leads to a breathtaking view that rivals any other.

Despite being a small hill by the beach, the summit offers breathtaking 360-degree views of the ocean, Khao Takiab Beach, and the Pradiphat Beachfront Pine Garden. The panoramic vista is a sight to behold, making the climb well worth the effort, even in the sweltering heat.

Taking a break, enjoying the breeze, and relaxing, the heat subsides somewhat.

Khao Tao Reservoir is a large reservoir located near Wat Tham Khao Tao in Loei Province. The atmosphere is serene and peaceful.

The reservoir offers a scenic walking path, a pavilion for relaxation, and pedal boats for recreational enjoyment.

Let's find some free time on weekends or holidays to follow in their footsteps.

One day trip to the green route, visit the mangrove forest and the over 100-year-old mangrove forest.

Ready to refresh visitors, have fun with anyone, let's say come to one place, complete activities
