This travelogue will be a special trip where I had the opportunity to use the Canon EOS 6D Mark II camera with the 24-105mm f/4L II kit lens for photography. The trip will be to capture the beauty of various flowers at Jim Thompson Farm, Pak Thong Chai District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province, which is open to the public during the winter season every year.

I can help you translate the provided text from Thai to English. Here's the translation:

"These photos in this review set were all taken with the Canon EOS 6D Mark II, a relatively lightweight full-frame DSLR camera. I should mention upfront that I'm not an expert and don't have extensive knowledge about cameras. I just rely on my familiarity and frequent use of the camera. If there are any mistakes, I apologize in advance."

This morning, I arrived at Jim Thompson Farm around 8:00 AM. I left my home in Chachoengsao Province and took Highway 304, passing through Kabin Buri and Wang Nam Khiao districts before turning left towards Jim Thompson Farm. Upon entering Pak Thong Chai district, the total distance traveled was approximately 200 kilometers, taking about 3 hours.

The front of the Jim Thompson Farm features a large parking lot with staff members directing visitors in an orderly manner. Upon arrival, visitors can purchase tickets at the entrance. The ticket price for 2023 is 220 baht for adults and 90 baht for senior citizens. During weekends and holidays, the ticket price remains at 220 baht. However, on weekdays, the price is reduced to 150 baht.

Jim Thompson Farm provides convenient transportation for visitors, with shuttle services to various points within the farm. This makes it accessible for elderly individuals, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

The Canon EOS 6D Mark II features a 45-point autofocus system that delivers fast and accurate focusing. Paired with the 24-105mm lens, a versatile telephoto zoom, this image was captured by focusing on the center of the flower mass and zooming to 105mm. This resulted in a sharp and beautifully blurred image.

Within Jim Thompson Farm, there are various zones, offering numerous photo opportunities. This image, despite being zoomed to the lens's limit, retains excellent resolution. This is due to another advantage of the Canon EOS 6D Mark II, which delivers exceptional image detail.

With a full-frame sensor, the camera can capture images with a resolution of up to 26.2 million pixels.

The image depicts a scene around 9:00 AM, with a relatively small number of tourists and a pleasantly cool atmosphere.

This zone features giant pumpkins, with real pumpkins used for decoration and large-scale replicas of giant pumpkins. The result is visually stunning.

The translation of the Thai sentence "เดินไปเรื่อยๆ ก็มาถึงบ้านของคำแก้วที่ใช้ถ่ายละครโทรทัศน์" is:

"Walking along, I arrived at the house of Kamkaew, which was used for filming a television drama."

The Canon EOS 6D Mark II's articulating screen is a notable feature, allowing for creative shooting angles that eliminate the need for awkward postures or lying on the ground.

Today, we were fortunate enough to witness a traditional Isan dance performance. Capturing the performance on camera proved challenging due to the constant movement of the dancers. Fortunately, the Canon EOS 6D Mark II's responsive autofocus system, touch-screen control, and 6.5 frames per second burst rate ensured we didn't miss a single moment.

The exhibit showcases the traditional lifestyle and occupations of the Isan people. One of the highlights is the display of silk cocoons, where visitors can witness the fascinating process of silk weaving, silk reeling, and silkworm rearing.

Walking along, I stopped at a performance of traditional Isaan singing and dancing. In many of the previous images, I mainly used manual (M) mode to adjust the image. However, in this image, I experimented with using the program in auto (A) mode. Stopping the moving image and providing brightness even in the shade is quite good.

It is worth noting that the Canon EOS 6D Mark II boasts an impressive ISO range, extending up to 40,000.

A little further on, you will find traditional Thai houses built over a reservoir. The houses are beautiful, and the atmosphere is very shady.

We continued walking, although there were vehicles available along the route. However, we enjoyed the walk and the opportunity to observe our surroundings. Eventually, we reached the final zone, known as Jim Market, where various goods such as fruits, vegetables, and clothing were sold.

The field of cosmos flowers follows the Jim market. In this section, there are rows of pine trees planted, creating a beautiful and shady atmosphere. I like the color tone of the camera and the kit lens 24-105 mm f/1.4L II. The colors seem natural and soft, even in low-light conditions.

"The highlight of visiting Jim Thompson Farm is the cosmos flower field. However, it seems that the flowers are not blooming as much this year. Nevertheless, it is still beautiful in its own way."

These three images were taken by zooming the lens to its maximum of 105mm and setting the camera to manual mode (M). The shutter speed (S) was adjusted to a high value to freeze the movement of the car. The resulting images are quite pleasing to me.

The Canon EOS 6D Mark II and the 24-105mm f/1.4L II kit lens produce images with rich, sweet, and smooth colors.

We spent approximately four hours at the Jim Thompson Farm, and it was a truly enjoyable experience. The beautiful surroundings and fresh air made it a worthwhile visit, justifying the ticket price.

This afternoon, we traveled to a coffee roasting factory in Wang Nam Khiao District, not far from the Jim Thompson Farm.

The coffee roasting factory is located in Wang Nam Khiao District. To reach it, take the Thai Samakkhi Subdistrict route from the main road 304. Travel approximately 9 kilometers and turn left. Cars can access the factory.

The name "Roasting Coffee House" accurately reflects the establishment's primary function: coffee roasting. This community-driven initiative in Wang Nam Khiao offers a tranquil environment for relaxation, complete with a scenic reservoir view.

The bustling atmosphere inside the shop is filled with tourists queuing to order drinks. The prices are quite reasonable, and although the surrounding area is spacious, it is still not enough to accommodate the large number of visitors. Perhaps it is the cool and shady ambiance that attracts people to come in a constant stream.

In conclusion, I would like to express my gratitude to Canon for providing me with the Canon EOS 6D Mark II camera for this trip. Thank you to everyone who has followed my travelogue. Until next time, farewell.
