The Thames HotelWe went to The Thames Hotel Valley in Khao Yai, an English-style countryside hotel. It's the top ten most wanted hotel in Thailand. It's not hard to see why.. It's very beautiful from outside to inside. Since we're not staying at this hotel, we weren't allowed to came in and looked through the cottage area. But you can see the great natural beauty from outside.

Second day at Khao Yai! We chose Lucerne hotel from agoda based on the photos and the price. and i really suggest it! At first it was really suspicious. We got lost for 2 of 3 times, ended we used 3 GPS finding this hotel. We went through a small alley without lights. After went for 1 hour, we finally arrived at Lucerne Hotel. The reception said that they were only waiting for us because we are the one and only guest there. With doubt, we looked through the hotel and it was AMAZING! The hotel only have 15 rooms, and it isn't ordinary rooms, but a bungalow. We didn't realise the surrounding until sunrise, and I just enjoy the view...
Look KaiAt the 5th day, we went to Khao Yai by car. Once again, we rent a car and I really suggest it. Different from Hua Hin, the places in Khao Yai quite far from one to another. So, it's better rent a car for it. It took around 3 to 4 hours from Bangkok to Khao Yai, and the driver can't speak english, so we went there based on google maps. (Send to heaven who created it please!) Our first stop is Look Kai. A very cute place to have lunch and also took a picture in it.
Wat ArunWith the same trip to Asiatique, we went to Wat Arun, Wat Po and Grand Palace. Once again we took BTS skytrain to Saphan Taksin BTS Station. But today, we took a 5-stop shuttle boat at the end of pier. With that ticket, we can stop in 5 different place like China town, India Market, flower market, Wat Arun, Wat Po, and Asiatique. Take a boat is suppa recommended since you can see the whole thing of Wat Arun across the sea. But When I came, the tempel was under renovation.
P.s use black to respect the late king, and since it's freakin hot! don't forget the sunblock and hat and sunglasses PLATINUM MALL FOODCOURTOne day at Hua Hin spent very well and we went home at the same day. And for the third day, we spent a day at Bangkok. Hearing about Bangkok, the first word appear in my mind : SHOPPING! Yes!! Shopping!! We started from 9 am in the morning to Platinum Mall! A very large Mall which specializes in fashion clothes and accessories retail and wholesale. It's located at Petchaburi Road.
1st to 3rd floor : women and men's clothing 4th to 5th floor : accessories, shoes, and bags 6th floor : food court and accessories You can't bargain the price, they have their own standard here. If you buy 3 or more, they gave you wholesaler price. My trip end after taking a tour at the venezia and plearwan. Venezia is the Venice lifestyle destination place in Thailand, most romantic place with outdoor park concept. Providing International store from Thai, Chinese, Korean, Italian, American, French. The Venezia Hua Hin offering more than activities in most enjoyable in everyday and happiness for everyone such as Gondola (a signal of Venice) European Style Carriage Riding, Mini Train, Fontana Di Trevi Park, 3D Art Gallery, English House Upside Down, Mini Europe, Fantasy Land etc.
The forth place I went that day! And we're having lunch here. Why? Because based on google, the food here is good! and the ambience is nice. One tip if you want to go there, eat at the restaurant first and you will get a ticket free for spending every 200b in the restaurant. So it's a win-win solutions got full and got ticket in the same time.
It's also not a bad idea to eat here since the restaurant is splendid. They have a cute decoration outside and inside the building. Outside is more like winter theme. They made it looks like an American winter house that decorated every Christmas. Anyway, let's discuss about the food first. It was really a long day for us. In 1 day, we went to not only 1 or 2 but 6 different places in Hua Hin. It's a one day trip and we managed to go to these 6 places. This was the 3rd place we went to. Santorini Park! And this is my second favourite place. Let's wait for another post to reveal which one I like the most in Hua Hin.
This place is a very complete park, there are restaurants, cafe, souvenir store, shopping area, theme park and also it is a place to take a lot of pictures! It is so beautiful! This Santorini Park is fulled with white building like the real Santorini in Greece (BUT I haven't gone to the real Santorini just yet! crossfinger). After went to Tham Khao Luang Cave, we went to Swiss Sheep Farm. So, I told you before that we rent a car, including the driver. We only told the Driver places that we want to go and he arranged them for us. He made us saving our time. Anyway, Swiss Sheep Farm is a very lovely place to go and take a picture. Entrance ticket 120b per person, including feeding Sheeps. I didn't know why they put the name 'Swiss' or Switzerland, but it's just a European farm theme park for me.
First when we came in, there's a halloween theme, like grave, zombie statue, etc. After that there's a love theme with a windmill house, located in the centre of this place. Additional, there's a small 3D Art Museum inside. I post many picture of me here, cause I think it just a waste not to post them *lols After spending 1 night in Bangkok, we went for a 1 day trip to Hua hin on the next day. We rent a car, including the driver for 2.678b and at the end of the day, we needed to pay another (approximately) 2.600b for fuel,toll fee, and driver's overtime. Lucky the driver knew a little bit of English, so when we arrived at Hua Hin, he did a little translate. We used the driver from Yasinee Co, LTD. Really recommended!
Anyway, the night before, we went to seven eleven (i think the most supermarket in Bangkok town) and bought something to eat for breakfast. Since we would like to go from 7 am and no time for breakfast, we decided to eat the breakfast in the car. I bought 'tokyo banana look a like' and condensed milk bread. I recommend their 'tokyo banana look a like'. It's not too sweet but the banana fragnant is in there. At the toll, we went to a coffee shop, located in the gas station. At that time, there's a promo buy 1 get 1 free. Making the coffee that original price is 60b to 30b each. |
