......

Escape the hustle and bustle of the big city and embrace the Slow Life..

In a small village, eat organic, pesticide-free vegetables

Take a boat trip to see the way of life of the villagers on both sides of the Thai-Myanmar border

Enjoy the scenery on both sides of the Mae River, with rapids, stalactites, and dripping water..

There is a small bamboo bridge that connects the two countries

Just by stepping our foot..just without stepping, we enter the neighboring country...

Sit with our feet dipped in the cool water, let time pass slowly

And all this with....our journey #Travelers

Stalactite

Cruise on the Mae Nam Moei River

Rock rapids in the middle of the river

The Burmese call it a waterfall, and when we first heard it, we were like, "Wow! There's a waterfall!"

But when we got there, we realized it was just a drip. 555+

This area is strange. When you drive a boat in from the scorching heat, you feel a sudden chill that's hard to describe.

Water drips down from the mountains, and small green trees grow, indicating the humidity.

Aerial view

Burmese side

Children are playing in the water.

Relax and soak your feet in the water while enjoying the view from a comfortable bamboo bench.

A bamboo bridge connecting two countries, allowing passage with just a few steps.

At Huai Pla Kong village, there is a wildlife sanctuary where fishing is prohibited. Locals believe that large fish, weighing around 70-80 kilograms, reside in this area.

Can you see the Buddha's footprint on the wall?

On the way back, some villagers asked for a ride. Of course, we were more than happy to oblige.

The road we had taken to get there was long and arduous. I have to hand it to them, I don't know how they managed to walk it.

The entrance and exit of Ban Huai Pla Kong village are characterized by laterite soil.

Oh! On our way back, we found white flowers growing on the ground. The locals call them #flowersoftheearth.

It's strange, I've never seen them before. More importantly, they're edible! They're considered a delicacy here.

After spending half a day exploring Ban Huai Pla Kong, it was time to check into our accommodation.

It took approximately 40 minutes to reach our accommodation from Ban Huai Pla Kong.

And this is #Baan Hong Homestay.

Bed, pillow, mosquito net

Spacious and comfortable for sitting and lying down.

The house is full of windows, and the cool breeze blows in all the time.

Free bicycles are available for exploring the village (approximately 4 bicycles available).

As evening approached, it was time to go swimming. The kind-hearted adults took us for a ride in the pickup truck.

We have arrived! It only takes 10 minutes by car.

This place is called #PattayaThaLo by the locals.

It is a popular spot for swimming and relaxing for both locals and tourists like us.

The river we see is the Mae Nam Moei River, and the opposite bank is a neighboring country. You can swim across to it.

Inner tubes are available for rent for only 30 baht. Perfect for floating down the Mae Nam Moei River.

The water may appear deep, but it's actually only knee-deep.

Look! It's really shallow! Even kids can play in it. 555+


Another occupation of the people here.


The evening sun sets over the Burmese shore.

After everyone has finished showering, it's time for dinner.

A new morning, Leva rode a bicycle around the village, led by the elder Tu ^^

Wat Don Kaew

Marble Buddha Statue at Wat Don Kaew

This is a marble Buddha statue in the Mara-Vijaya posture, carved from white marble. It measures 1.30 meters in width at the lap and 1.60 meters in height from the base platform to the halo. The statue is crafted in the Burmese style.

Organic vegetable transformation of your F.

Of course, when visiting Tak Province, it's a must to bring back some sun-dried bananas as souvenirs. Haha!

The village headman's house has another occupation, which is processing bananas. I tried it and loved it, so I had to buy some to take home.

Concluding with a photo with Khun Tu, the owner of the house.
