City dwellers with only 2 days and 1 night to spare often find the time constraints limiting for leisurely exploration and relaxation. While some find solace in the cool air and delectable cuisine of shopping malls, individual preferences for leisure and travel vary greatly. Some find contentment in simply lounging at home. However, we aim to showcase a "dream city near the capital" within this short timeframe, as we believe that happiness lies in exploring, regardless of distance. So, let's embark on this journey together!


While numerous reviews have already documented the various attractions of our upcoming travel destination, this time, we will offer a unique perspective through the lens of a local, affectionately known as "Khon Kaen." Additionally, we will be joined by two individuals, a young woman and a middle-aged woman, who will serve as our on-camera guides.

The route to Khao Yai from Rangsit is a straight shot, following the curves of the road. Those who have been there know that the route is not difficult and not at all chaotic.

Our journey takes us to various locations along the way, offering a diverse range of experiences.


The first stop of this trip was a coffee shop on the Khlong Rangsit-Nakhon Nayok road called "Coffee Shop with Trees." The shop is located on Khlong 15 in the Soi Baan Mai Dok Mai Pratub. Turn into the soi and drive about 1 km. The shop is on the right-hand side, opposite Uncle Heng's shop. We apologize for not being able to take a picture of the front of the shop. The road is two lanes and it was drizzling, so it was difficult to cross the road to take a picture. However, we were able to capture the lush atmosphere inside the shop.




Stepping inside, you'll find a cool and shady atmosphere. The cafe is situated by the water, offering seating options by the waterfront, in a room adorned with handwritten messages on paper, or near the coffee counter.


Girl in front of the lens, little one.


This room is available for you to sit and enjoy tea or coffee. When we went there, the seats were all taken, so we couldn't sit down.


The shop's decor features a collection of small, retro-style trinkets.


Beverages are available, and toast is also served.


They found a comfortable place to sit and chatted like girls of different ages.


However, if food is available, I will momentarily forget about everything else.



After finishing my meal, I would gently swing on the swing, feeling relaxed and content.


After the meal, they continued their journey.

We will head to the next location. If you want to drive back the same way and head towards Nakhon Nayok, you can turn left at the mouth of the alley and continue straight. However, if you want to take a leisurely drive and enjoy the scenery, head towards Wat Phra Si Wecha. When you reach the intersection, turn right and drive a little further to cross the bridge. If you are unsure, you can stop at the plant shop and ask for directions to Nakhon Nayok. It's not difficult to find the turn.


--Another tip for visiting this coffee shop: the shop opens around 10 am. If you are not in a hurry to travel to the next two locations, which you should arrive at around 8-10 am, you can easily stop by the coffee shop. However, if you want to take photos at the second location, we recommend stopping by the coffee shop on your way back.--



Our second destination was the Red Lotus Sea, a popular tourist spot that we couldn't miss after seeing so many reviews.


Let's go to the red lotus. The red lotus is also a red lotus (as I said, come to the red lotus field before 10 am, otherwise you will not see the lotus bloom, the red lotus, but you will see the lotus fold).



Turn left at Bang Aor intersection and drive for a short distance. Look for the destination on the left-hand side. When you see it, turn left and park immediately.


At the lotus field, there were Thai desserts. The vendor called them "lotus stem desserts." I decided to try them.


The taste is similar to banana cake, with a floral design on top and sprinkled with coconut. The texture is chewy.


Let's see if it's delicious or not, judging from her expression. Go ahead and try it.



Take off your shoes and dangle your feet. How about that?


If you fall, it will be impossible to rescue you.


She got it.


Let's turn our attention to the lotus flower.


Before leaving, she swung on the swing beautifully. Oh! It brought back memories of her youth.



The text describes a popular tourist destination in Thailand, a bamboo forest at the Chulabhornwanaram Temple. The writer compares it to the famous Arashiyama bamboo grove in Kyoto, Japan, noting that while both are beautiful, the experience of visiting each is different.



The bamboo archway is located at the entrance of Chulabhornwanaram Temple. To reach the temple, drive straight from Thung Daeng and turn left at the intersection. You will pass the police station and market on your left. Continue driving straight through the Hin Kong intersection. If you are unfamiliar with the route, stay in the left lane. After passing the district office, drive for approximately 3-4 kilometers. Stay on the left side and look for the temple sign at the entrance.


Turn left at the sign and continue straight into the alley.


Upon reaching the entrance, you will be directed by a person to turn into the temple grounds to find a parking spot.


The church was under construction when we visited, but we were able to go inside to worship the Buddha statue.


Incense and candles are also available.


The following is a translation of the Thai sentence "กราบไหว้แล้วเราก็เดินไปซุ้มป่าไผ่กันเถอะ" into English:

After we pay our respects, let's walk to the bamboo grove together.

Nature is nature, it does not need any effort or embellishment.


Behind it is a bamboo archway.


They're really enjoying themselves.



As the crowd grew, the photos became increasingly crowded with tourists similar to ourselves.


Turning around, I saw a bus from the Wat 9 temple route. Wow!

In front of the temple entrance, local villagers sell a variety of local produce, including vegetables, fruits, and snacks. There are also drink shops available for your convenience.


The petals of the dok sorn flower are used to make dok sorn desserts or eaten with chili paste. It's delicious! I ate 2 kilograms of it.


This is an olive.


In bundles


Found your favorite snack, mushroom crackers.


The provided text is in Thai. Here's the translation in English:

"They enjoyed the food so much that they couldn't put their chopsticks down."


Before leaving, please make a small donation.


After finishing the previous task, we turned around. Initially, we intended to proceed directly to the next location. However, as we passed by Ban Na Market, we remembered the delicious fried dumplings there and decided to indulge in a quick snack.


The shop is located in the market area. The "guay chai" we bought there comes in a box of 50 and has 3 fillings: guay chai, taro, and bamboo shoots.



The shop is right next to the bridge. When you buy something, just open the window and tell the shopkeeper. You don't need to get out of the car. If you can't find it, ask someone nearby.


After receiving the food, we continued our journey. For those who haven't found accommodation yet, we recommend "Baan Phaya" (https://www.facebook.com/baanpaya/). We must clarify that we did not stay there ourselves, as we have a house in Krayong. This establishment also has a coffee shop, which we have visited and enjoyed. They also offer accommodation, so feel free to check it out. Whether you choose to stay there or not is up to you.

I have added the Facebook page and phone number as shown in the picture.


The coffee shop is located at the front. The coffee is delicious. The cute dogs, Sweet Eyes and Sprite, are always waiting to greet guests.


Across from Baan Phaya, there is a temple called Wat Kiriwan. You can actually save this temple for another day, as in the afternoon and evening we will take you to another temple first. You can worship Buddha, enjoy the cool air, and feed the fish leisurely.



This temple is called Wat Pa Sri Thawaranimit.



Follow the GPS instructions, which may involve occasional left and right turns.


Park your car at the parking lot, then climb up to the pagoda to pay respects to Luang Pho Thawaron Chittaphavaro.


After paying respects, I walked over to feed the enormous fish.


When we arrived, it was already late afternoon, so there was very little fish food left. We ended up taking photos of what other people were feeding the fish.


The temple grounds are cool and shady, with a pleasant atmosphere.

As the sky begins to darken, the rumbling of thunder signals the arrival of a storm. Cravings for savory or sweet treats emerge, and we embark on a culinary adventure to satisfy our desires.


If you see this bridge, it means that you are near the place where we will have dinner.


Talad Tor Reung Nakhon Nayok offers a wide variety of delicious and affordable food.




Parking can be challenging for cars, but you can find a spot if you look around. Be careful of motorcycles when walking.


The original text is in Thai and describes a traditional dessert shop that has been around for a long time and sells delicious treats. The shop is located at the head of the market.

Here is a possible translation:

The old-fashioned dessert shop has been around for a long time and sells delicious treats. The shop is located at the head of the market.


Turn around a little, there's a regular fruit juice shop right there. You can order any fruit you want, they'll blend it up for you. It's delicious and refreshing.


Turn left from the smoothie shop and you will find a pandan steamed bread and custard shop. They also have charcoal bread now. The shop is called "Yok Phet".


The abundance and variety of restaurants make it difficult to choose where to eat.


Venturing deeper into the alleyway, we opted for the enticing aroma of this particular eatery.


Auntie's soup is delicious.


Choose your favorite flavor and enjoy!


The market is said to be open all night, but be warned, some stalls close after 8pm. By then, they might be sold out. So, don't go too late!


After a hearty meal, we will return to our accommodation for some rest. In the morning, we will take you to visit a temple to pay respects.

Good morning! Let's go and pay respect to the Buddha. It's recommended to drive there, even though the temple entrance is just across the street. There's a steep hill to climb once you get there, so it's better to drive.


This temple is called Wat Kiriwan.



Khiriwan Temple is an ancient temple with a large replica of the Emerald Buddha made of resin, enshrined in the viharn on the mountaintop. In the past, this temple was located in the middle of a field before being relocated to Karen Hill. Originally named Wat Sawang Arom, the temple was later moved to a new mountain and renamed Kiriwan Temple. The abbot of this temple is Phra Khru Kiriwan Anukoon Ophas (Luang Pho Ri).

The Emerald Buddha at the temple on the mountaintop


Before ascending to the temple, you can pay your respects at the lower level, either before or after your visit.


I have arrived at the temple.

The sentence is already in English and does not require translation.

After paying respects to the Buddha, I would like to take a walk and admire the green nature.


Is this a mata fruit?


This tree has stunningly beautiful colors. We love the contrasting hues, a testament to nature's unadulterated artistry.


Move the camera slightly upwards.


After visiting this temple, we will continue our journey back to Bangkok.


Along the way, you will find a variety of fruits, brooms, and wickerwork for sale. Feel free to browse and make your selections.


Broomsticks are made of either wood or plastic.


I apologize for the lack of photos. The souvenir shops are located on the sidewalk, where parking is difficult. If you plan to stop by to buy souvenirs, please drive carefully.


After driving for a while, I felt a caffeine deficiency. I need a coffee now.


Today, we present a giant coffee cup shop.


Follow the GPS to reach the restaurant. The road curves before leading directly to the establishment. Please stay to the left as you approach the restaurant.


The coffee is delicious, and the Thai desserts are excellent. Highly recommended.


Order placed, now waiting.


The vintage coffee cup is still beautiful. Take a look.


Even takeaway orders come with a stylish design. Isn't that cool?

Here is a translation of the text:

"Here are some delicious Thai desserts. We love them! It's a pity we came a bit late, so there weren't many desserts left. But don't worry, if you prefer cakes, there are some too!"

Grab a snack to enjoy on your way back. It's a great idea!
