A Relaxing Getaway in Uthai Thani

Many travelers heading north on Thailand's highways have likely noticed signs pointing towards Uthai Thani, yet few take the opportunity to explore this hidden gem. Accessible from various routes, including the Asian Highway and through neighboring Suphan Buri, Uthai Thani offers a tranquil escape. This charming city boasts a rich cultural heritage and stunning natural landscapes, making it the perfect destination for a relaxing getaway. Join us as we embark on a leisurely journey through the wonders of Uthai Thani.

This trip begins with a visit to Uthai Thani. The first must-visit check-in point is the Tork Rong Ya alley. Let's go find some delicious food and see what's interesting in the Tork Rong Ya alley.

- Auntie Nork's Chicken Noodle Soup

This renowned chicken noodle soup stall is a must-try for anyone visiting Trok Rong Ya. A long-standing establishment, it has been passing down its secret recipe for over 30 years, resulting in a flavor so delicious that it requires no additional seasoning. The shop meticulously stews the chicken with herbs, creating a tender and flavorful broth that is sure to tantalize your taste buds.

- Auntie Tiang's Hakka Steamed Rice Cakes

The Hakka steamed rice cakes, known as "ขนมจุ๋ยก้วย," are a specialty of the Hakka people. These bite-sized treats are made with fresh rice flour steamed in small cups. They are typically served with a topping of sweet pickled radish, preserved mustard greens, and fried garlic, drizzled with sweet soy sauce. Due to their popularity, it's recommended to pre-order these cakes and pick them up after exploring the market, as the queue can be quite long.

Steamed cup cake, only 20 baht per set.

We then took a stroll along the banks of the Sakae Krang River, crossing the bridge to Wat Uposatharam.

-Ubosot Rarm Temple

The Temple of Wat Bot Mueang, a Historical Gem on the Banks of the Sakae Krang River

Originally known as "Wat Bot Manomai," this ancient temple dates back to 2324 B.E. (1781 C.E.) and sits majestically on the island of Ko Thepho, overlooking the Sakae Krang River. Within the Ubosot (ordination hall) and Wihan (assembly hall), visitors can marvel at the intricate murals from the early Rattanakosin period.

Behind the Ubosot and Wihan, a fascinating collection of stupas from three distinct eras – Sukhothai, Ayutthaya, and Rattanakosin – stands as a testament to the temple's long and rich history. Adding to the architectural splendor is an octagonal pavilion, a unique blend of Thai and Chinese artistry, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship and delicate beauty.

Facing the temple, a floating pavilion, once used to welcome King Rama V and King Rama VI during their royal visits to the northern provinces, offers a glimpse into the past. This unique structure served as a floating religious site for the residents of the floating houses, allowing them to participate in religious ceremonies and rituals.

We then continued driving to pay respects at Wat Sangkat Rattanakhiri and admire the view of Uthai Thani city from Khao Sakae Krang.

Wat Sangkat Rattanakhiri

Located at the foot of Khao Sakae Krang, at the end of Tha Chang Road in Uthai Thani Municipality, this temple is renowned among Buddhists for its Tak Bat Thewo tradition, held on the waning moon of the 11th lunar month each year. This significant Uthai Thani tradition sees over 500 monks descend the 449 steps from the pavilion atop Khao Sakae Krang to the grounds of Wat Sangkat Rattanakhiri below to receive alms.

Before leaving Uthai Thani city, we stopped to buy a famous local souvenir, "Sangkaya Bread." The bread here is generously filled with a delicious, not-too-sweet custard filling.

Our trip's destination was แก่นมะกรูด. We continued our journey to Lahan Sak district to relax by the mountains at Baan Phupha, nestled amidst the hills. Nearby, we discovered another fascinating attraction in Uthai Thani province: Hub Pa Tad.

- Hub Pa Tad

Located in Thung Nang Am Subdistrict, Lahan Sak District, Uthai Thani, Hub Pa Tad is under the protection of the Tham Prathun Wildlife Sanctuary. This site boasts the unique beauty of nature. Due to its unusual geography and diverse rare plant species, the Department of National Parks declared Hub Pa Tad a conservation area. The name "Hub Pa Tad" originates from the "Tad" or "Taw" tree, a rare ancient palm species typically found in humid and cold rainforests.

A comfortable mountainside retreat, not far from the Hub Pa Tad Forest, offers a variety of accommodations for couples and families. Our VIP room, located on the second floor, boasts stunning mountain views from its window. The resort's lush surroundings and refreshing air create a truly relaxing atmosphere.

Early Morning Drive to Kaeng Makrut

We woke up early and drove to Ban Rai district to admire the beautiful flowers at Kaeng Makrut.

Kaeng Makrut: A Cold Paradise

Kaeng Makrut is known as the coldest place in central Thailand. During the end of the year, it boasts a stunning display of flowers, with this year's highlight being the vibrant tulips. After taking photos, we relaxed and enjoyed a cup of fresh coffee at Rai Uai Kui. The cool, refreshing air at Kaeng Makrut was truly invigorating.
