My Solo Trip to Khao Yai
[1]
Last January, I had a solo travelling to a beautiful area in Thailand called Khao Yai. I
flew from Jakarta to Bangkok at 6 a.m. Before continuing my journey to Khao Yai, I visited
Pak Chong, a city near Khao Yai, by taxi and stayed there for one day.
[2]
On the first day, my journey in Khao Yai was began. I stayed in a European-styled
hotel that I have booked some days before. It was the most beautiful hotel I ever visited in
Thailand. Then, I borrowed a bike from the hotel and cycled around the hotel since it had
wide and beautiful park.
[3]
On the second day, I went to a coffee shop. It was located in the middle of a
beautiful flower garden. I enjoyed a cup of iced coffee and a slice of cake with such an
amazing scenery. I also took many pictures and video there.
[4]
After going to the coffee shop, I moved to the second hotel I booked here. It was
beautiful and artsy. It was near a forest so I got beautiful scenery from my room. However, I
was a little bit scared because I was the only guest in that hotel on that day. Fortunately,
there was no bad thing fappen and everything was fine.
[5]
On the next day, I visited Khao Yai Art Museum. The entrance fee was 50 TBH/Rp
22.000. There were many unique statues and artsy paintings we can find in the museum.
After that, because I felt hungry, I went to a restaurant for having lunch. The food was
delicious and the price was not expensive.
[6]
On the last day in Khao Yai, I decided to stay in a very beautiful Glamping
(Glamorous Camping). I just stayed in the glamping and watched a Korean Drama all day. At
this glamping area, finally I could enjoy beautiful sunset in the evening. I enjoyed every
moment I made in Khao Yai. I think it was my best trip in Thailand so far.
