Last weekend, I had the opportunity to visit Saraburi, Pak Chong, and Khao Yai. I took the opportunity to use my mobile phone to take pictures. Let's see how well it meets our needs. Our first destination was the Morakot Waterfall.

The Morakot Waterfall is located about 37 kilometers from Saraburi. Take Mittraphap Road to the Morakot intersection and turn in for about 500 meters. You will see a sign for the National Park on the right-hand side. The entrance fee is 10 baht. On the day we visited, the rain had stopped for a day or two.

However, the water was still high, so I took the opportunity to try using my mobile phone to take pictures of the waterfall. I was pleased with the results. There is an app that can make the waterfall look smooth and flowing. Don't forget to use a tripod.

If you were using a large camera during this time, you might need a lot of equipment.

Next to the Mow Leuk Waterfall, we continue to the Seven Maidens Waterfall.

From Mow Leuk Waterfall, drive up Highway 2089 and turn onto Highway 2224. Drive for about 10 kilometers.

You will find a turnoff to the waterfall.

It's a pity that the waterfall is not very beautiful today because it is red, but it is still possible to take pictures.

After photographing the seven waterfalls, we continued on to Khao Yai and stopped at the natural spring at Ban Tha Chang for another photo opportunity.

The Ban Tha Chang natural spring is located near Thanon Thanarat Road on the way to Khao Yai, about 15 kilometers away. There is a small alley on the left side of the road where you can turn.

The water here is a spring that bubbles up through rocks with high calcium carbonate content, making the water clear.

The water is a blue-green color, similar to the Emerald Pool. It is especially beautiful during the winter months. This time, the water was a bit cloudy.

We then traveled to our accommodation, Khao Yai Ai Yara Resort, which has recently opened a new loft-style accommodation zone.

So we decided to try it out. Map https://goo.gl/maps/TYejcBfQFdN2

The reception is right in front, easy to find.

Khao Yai Aiyara is a resort that offers both affordable hotel-style rooms and a new loft-style zone that is sleek and sophisticated.

Today, we will take a look at a loft-style accommodation to see what it looks like.

The room we got is called The Loft Sento Villa.
Currently, the price is 2,300 baht, down from 3,000 baht.

The exterior looks like detached houses, separated by trees.
I think that in the future, when the trees grow thicker, it will be more private.

The interior of the house will have a small sitting area for us to relax in.

Note:

The interior features exposed concrete walls. The spacious bed comes with a mosquito net and four large pillows. A sofa is available for relaxation by the window.

The room includes a LED TV with cable TV and a refrigerator.

Hairdryer, tea and coffee set, and hot water kettle are available.

Notes:

• I am ready to translate sentences or phrases from Thai to English.
• Please provide the text you want me to translate.

Take a peek at the bathroom.

This window can be opened and closed. Those who want to soak in the tub and enjoy the natural breeze can open the window.

Upon arriving at our accommodation, rain began to fall shortly after. We spent the afternoon relaxing at Khao Yai Ayara, opting to stay indoors rather than venturing out.

As evening approached, we decided to capture some nighttime photographs. (This particular image was taken using my personal mobile phone camera, not my wife's.)

The next morning, we had breakfast at the hotel. It was a buffet breakfast with rice porridge, fried eggs, sausages, orange juice, tea, and coffee.

After breakfast, I went back to soak in the water for another round because it was so comfortable. After that, we checked out and went to take pictures at The Birder's Lodge Cafe. The map is here: https://goo.gl/maps/1KpqeELCrVB2. It's right across from the shop in Laos, so it's not hard to find.

This coffee shop is beautifully decorated with wood and lush greenery. There are also many photogenic corners, making it a popular spot for photography enthusiasts. However, be prepared for crowds, as you may need to find creative angles to avoid other patrons in your shots.

I ordered a rainbow-colored drink… something like that. It was a mess when it melted.

This image is a bit creepy.

On our way back, we took a detour to Khao Yai National Park to capture the scenic views of Haew Suwat and Haew Narok waterfalls.

Upon arrival at Haew Suwat Waterfall, we were greeted by an abundance of water, a testament to the previous night's rainfall.

Here is a map of Haew Suwat Waterfall: https://goo.gl/maps/oDmMzXPqv8p

Take a short walk.

It didn't take long for me to walk up because I had to continue to Haew Narok Waterfall.

On the way to Haew Narok Waterfall, I saw some champagne mushrooms.

The Narok Waterfall remains as magnificent as ever. The more water there is, the more spectacular it becomes.

After visiting Haew Narok Waterfall, we drove down to Prachin Buri, Nakhon Nayok, and headed towards Bangkok.

This concludes our trip to Saraburi, Pak Chong, and Khao Yai.

In conclusion, I am satisfied with using my mobile phone to take pictures.

I find it convenient to take pictures and upload them to social media.

With current technology making photography easier, it makes it even more appealing. Next time, if you forget your camera, try using your mobile phone to take pictures.

It's a good way to practice your camera angles too. See you again!
