Hidden Gem - The Enigmatic Community of Pla Ba - Phu Ruea
Still captivated by Green Season - Forest, Mountain, Homeland, Jungle ×1900Miles, today we have the opportunity to experience another community in the we love local project, "Pla Ba Community", a small village with hidden secrets in the mountains of Phu Saen Khaw, Phu Ruea. Let's see what's interesting and worth exploring in this village or community... Follow us
From Phu Ruea District, take Highway 3008 and search for "Community Tourism Promotion Club of Pla Ba Subdistrict" on Google Maps. Then follow the map. It's not far from Phu Ruea District, only about 10 kilometers. Upon arrival, we met Kamnan Cherd, who will be our guide for this trip. "What's here? Take me to see it," I said.

The first stop on the tour was the macadamia nut orchard at Rai Vimuttisuk, where visitors can learn about the production and processing of macadamia products. They can also observe the shelling process, solar-powered drying, and take a leisurely stroll through the orchard, enjoying the mountain views and cool breeze.
After supporting local businesses, it's time to explore the **Pa Sak Upstream Forest**, the origin of the Pa Sak River. The abundance of this forest is evident in these images.
For many years, this area was heavily deforested for agricultural purposes. In response, local villagers have joined forces to replant the forest and restore its natural abundance. Early the next morning, we will meet at the viewpoint (on the way up to Phu Bak Dai) to enjoy panoramic views of the Pla Ba community. Our transportation for this adventure is unique: we will be riding in colorful and charming e-taek vehicles. #If you've never seen an e-taek, here's a glimpse of its adorable design:

Dragon fruit is also widely grown here. If you'd like to see or taste it, you can ask the village headman... This morning, there was light rain and sunshine, and a small rainbow came out to play with the mountains. It was very beautiful.
The Journey's Beauty
The journey itself is always beautiful, as we have proven. After a short ride on a local "e-taek" truck, we arrived at the scenic viewpoint of Ban Pla Ba. The panoramic view stretched before us, making us feel like birds soaring above.
For those who wish to continue to Phu Bak Dai, the next step is to prepare for a hike from this point. The trek takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, covering a distance of 3.5 kilometers.

Taking in the view and enjoying a rice sandwich with the morning atmosphere like this, I must say it's the ultimate experience. Before heading back, let's take another deep breath of fresh air.

Before continuing our journey, we stopped by Uncle Wut's garden to admire the cacti and select some cold-climate plants. Next time, we will take you to another community. Stay tuned! (Hint: it's not far from Loei Province.) See you soon.
Life's Thorny Beauty: A Cactus Analogy
Life, like a cactus, presents a paradox of beauty and pain. Its prickly exterior, symbolized by the hashtags #cactus and #pricks, represents the challenges and hardships we encounter. Yet, amidst these thorns, we find moments of stunning beauty, captured by the hashtag #beautiful.
This analogy invites us to contemplate the duality of life's experiences. Just as a cactus thrives in harsh environments, we too can find resilience and growth through adversity. The thorns, though painful, serve a protective function, shielding the delicate inner core. Similarly, life's challenges, while difficult, can shape us into stronger, more resilient individuals.
Furthermore, the cactus's vibrant blooms remind us that beauty can emerge from unexpected places. Even amidst the prickliest of circumstances, moments of joy, love, and connection can blossom. These moments, like the cactus flower, are precious and fleeting, reminding us to cherish them all the more.
In conclusion, the cactus analogy offers a powerful reminder that life is a complex tapestry woven with both thorns and beauty. By embracing both aspects, we can navigate life's challenges with resilience and find joy in its unexpected moments of wonder.
Sincerely,
