Wake up early to enjoy the morning beach, nice breakfast and the beautiful side room.

A beautiful cafe on a large compound. A huge lake filled with lotus. An A-frame wood and glass cafe with a indoor tree. Beautiful outdoor area to explore. Dessert is average.

A nice riverside stay with good service. The room is small but comfortable. Do arrive before sunset, as the river view is much better with daylight. The room face east, so the sun shine into the room in the morning, which makes it pretty hot. You can have BBQ or Mookata dinner at the yard, which is nice and comfortable. They do offer some water activities with additional charges.

Breakfast can refill, quite a few variety offered.

To enter this park for foreigners, ticket purchase just be done through an app (fairly complex process). So need to make sure you have Internet connection, and credit card OTP is working. The park is really beautiful, layers upon layers of turquoise waterfalls. There are seven waterfalls on the hike up. If you just want to swim, the first few ones are the best. You do need to rent a life jacket. If you plan to hike to the top, you might not want to carry your life jacket along. Do allocate at least half a day here, or full day if you want to explore everything and swim. Water level at each level might varies depending on seasonality.

A simple lakeside stay with an absolutely gorgeous lake view surrounded by mountain. Such serene environment with a calming view, I could enjoy the view for the entire day. Free Kayak and SUP is offered. It is fun to try SUP for the first time. We explore the lake on Kayak the next morning, and found a beautiful secret spot.

Feels like a very interesting safari experience with all the big cats: tiger, lion, puma and leopard. Buy some carrots before boarding the bus to feed the deers and giraffes. The highlight is actually the Giraffe Encounter: 1000B per person, you sit on a jeep while feeding giraffes and zebras. You need to book online probably weeks ahead, or you try your luck on the spot. Watch our YouTube Shorts or TikTok for the Giraffes Encounter experience.

A simple cafe with nice dessert and coffee.

A very famous cafe, connected to 2 other equally famous restaurants (probably same owner). The cafe is big and beautiful, with some cactus. Food wise is expensive and average. The main attractions is their big garden with lake and mountain view. A photogenic tree, and a Japanese bamboo walkway (really nice at night). Come before sunset, so you can enjoy the beauty of the park at daytime and nighttime.

Nice, comfortable and clean guesthouse in the city. There is a morning market nearby. Super friendly and helpful host.

A morning market which quite a lot of interesting local food and snacks, mostly locals. The roadside stalls closed by 9AM. I love visiting the local market and trying local delicacies.

Beautiful Buddhist temple on top of a small hill in the middle of the rice fields. Be prepared to climb some stairs and be rewarded with the magnificent view and a huge Buddha statue, and beautiful temple complex. You can see the Pagoda building from next door.

A cafe which offer a great view of the Tiger Cave Temple from a paddy field, with many outdoor seatings to chill. Nice cakes, coffee and meal, at affordable prices. Spend at least 1-2h to chill and take photos.

To explore this temple involved a lot of stairs hiking, but it is quite rewarding as well. There is already a temple compound at the foothill. Up the stairs and you will meet with a dragon, and enter a dragon. There is a temple mid hill which offer a great view of the surroundings. You can enter a cave which host a large golden Buddha. Continue going up from the cave will lead to a golden Stupa at the top, an amazing place to chill and take on the positive energy of the temple.

This is the Khachanaburi SkyWalk, and also the Night Market / Walking Street on Saturday. Go during sunset on Saturday, you get the day view, night view and an excellent best night market experience in whole of Thailand. Plenty of street food stalls next to a park, where you can have a picnic to enjoy your meal (or even rent a picnic table and mat). The park is filled with lively activities: concert, skateboard, dancing, children playground, picnic, etc.
