CAFE' & BISTRO
A cozy cafe in Chai Badan District, located on the Saraburi-Lomsak Road. Easy to find right on the roadside, this small wooden house is decorated in a Thai style with a cute, homey atmosphere. There's even a cute cat sitting and showing off its cuteness. There's also outdoor seating under the shade of the trees, providing a pleasant shade.
After returning from the north, we stopped for a caffeine fix to continue our journey.

Steamed snakehead fish with herbs, come and eat at Tharadon restaurant, Lopburi.
The Pla Chon Lui Suan menu at Thadadon restaurant uses large sized snakehead fish, which can easily feed 2-3 people. The fish meat is sweet because it is fresh, fragrant without a fishy smell, and they fry it in new oil, making it even more fragrant, crispy, and fun to chew. The seasoning is just right, not too spicy, not too sweet, and has three flavors. Eat it with fresh vegetables and cashew nuts on the plate. Eat it with hot rice, so delicious that you won't put down your spoon. This restaurant is located on the side of the Saraburi-Lomsak Road, Lopburi, opposite PTT Chai Badan gas station. There is a corner to sit and eat in a natural setting and an air-conditioned room. Another recommended delicious menu is the stuffed eggs with fragrant sauce, beautiful yellow eggs, thin and soft sheets, and a nice sweet taste. Followed by grilled pork with chili sauce, it's also perfect. In conclusion, every menu is delicious. This restaurant opens from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. I'll give you the number to be sure again: 085-2169569 #This content is of quality.

Chai Badan, come join us.
🏞️ Wang Kan Lueang Waterfall – This waterfall is nothing but laughter.
The water is so clear and cool that you'll cry, "Wow! It's so chilling to the bone!" There are rocks to climb, water to soak in, and laughter from tourists slipping and sliding back up gracefully. Nature lovers who don't want to be lonely and lonely must come!
🧘♂️ Khao Somphot Temple – This mountain is nothing but peace and quiet...and funny jokes from monks.
A temple for meditation practitioners, so quiet you can hear your own heart (and the snores of fellow practitioners). Beautiful views, great atmosphere, and a Buddha statue in the "Opening the World" pose for worship. Sometimes, there are jokes from the monks for a light laugh.
🐟 Chai Badan Fish Market – This market is full of fish and laughter.
A truly fresh and hilarious market. Squid wriggling, vendors will tease you with "Buy a lot, get a discount, buy a smile, get a free one." Walking around this market is like watching a stand-up comedy, along with delicious food that will make you shout, "I want another plate!"
🏞️ Sap Takhian Reservoir – This view is nothing but bliss.
A reservoir perfect for sitting quietly and letting the gentle breeze blow across your face. The mountain views, crystal-clear water, and bird calls make you feel like you've stepped into a drinking water commercial. There's also a picnic area where foodies can show off their skills at frying omelets amidst nature.
🛕 Wat Tham Khao Prang – This cave is nothing but magical and hilarious.
This temple on a hill requires a challenging climb up the Naga stairs, but once you're up there, the view is simply "Wow!" There are also cool photo spots that make you feel like you've stepped into a 90s Thai action movie poster.

Khao Prang Cave Temple
Wat Tham Khao Prang, located in Chai Badan District, Lopburi Province, is a striking temple with a large, golden Buddha image enshrined on a hill. The temple is well-known as a destination for pilgrims seeking tranquility and a scenic viewpoint.
Don't-miss Highlights
1. The Large Buddha Statue in the First Sermon Posture
This is the temple's most prominent landmark and can be seen from afar when driving on the main road (Highway 21, Lopburi - Phetchabun).
Size: This is a massive Buddha statue in the First Sermon Posture (or Dharmachakra Posture), measuring 32 meters across and 56 meters high.
Worship: The Buddha statue is beautifully and elegantly crafted. It is a spiritual center for Buddhists who come to pay homage to the Great Buddha image for good fortune.
2. Naga Stairs and the Nine-Towered Pagoda
Climbing to pay homage to the Great Buddha image on the hill is another important activity.
Seven-Headed Naga Stairs: This walkway leads up to the courtyard surrounding the Buddha image's base. A large, seven-headed, rainbow-colored Naga serpent beautifully and uniquely covers the stairs, offering a striking photo opportunity.
Navalokkarat Chedi (Nine-Towered Pagoda): Within the Great Buddha image are enshrined relics of the Lord Buddha and Arahant relics for worshippers.
3. 360-Degree Viewpoint and Sacred Cave
Viewpoint: Upon reaching the base of the Buddha image, you can enjoy a stunning 360-degree view of the surrounding mountains and rice fields, offering a cool breeze all day long.
Tham Luang Mae Sap Cave: This temple is called "Wat Tham" because of its numerous caves. One of these, Tham Luang Mae Sap, features a section called "Rainbow Cave," created by mineral deposits and natural light. It is a place worth visiting to admire the wonders of nature.

The accomm
The accommodation is in a good location, close to the main road, easy to travel, very easy to find, has parking and a swimming pool. The room in the camera looks bright, but there is a slight problem. Our room was a bit dark if you look with the naked eye.

Unseen Lopburi, Khao Prang Cave Temple, Lopburi
Who said Lopburi only has monkeys? Let me tell you that there are many beautiful places to check in! Like #WatThamKhaoPrang, a beautiful Chinese-Thai style temple that stands out with a large golden Buddha statue on the mountaintop.
The highlight that you can't miss is walking up the Naga stairs that circle around the 9-story pagoda with more than 200 steps! Even though it's a bit tiring, once you get to the top, I assure you that it's worth it because you'll get a 360-degree view of the green mountains and rice fields, truly stunning.
This is another Unseen Lopburi that you have to see with your own eyes at least once. Travelers and religious people shouldn't miss this!

Ban Pla Wan Resort, Lopburi
#Get a discount without relying on luck
A place to stay for a few hundred baht that I would highly recommend. Clean, spacious rooms, on the main road, smiling staff, even though we checked in late at night. The accommodation does not have breakfast, but next door there is a restaurant that serves delicious and inexpensive noodles. It opens early in the morning. We walked around and were very impressed.
The accommodation has a building zone and a house zone. We chose the building zone and stayed on the second floor. It was not a problem. Our bags were not heavy because we stayed for 1 night and did not bring much stuff. I must say that anyone looking for a place to stay with a car or people at a good price is worth it. Please come and stay here. Open the map to search: Ban Pla Wan Hotel, Resort, Lopburi #Good price accommodation, tell others #Accommodation for a few hundred baht #Accommodation in Lopburi

Wang Kan Lueang Waterfall, Lopburi Province
In the hot season, one of the most popular places is visiting waterfalls to cool off. It is a very beautiful and clear waterfall with a camping area. "Wang Kan Lueang Arboretum" or Wang Takhian Waterfall is located in Chai Badan District, Lopburi Province. This is a new check-in tourist spot for nature lovers. It has just opened for tourists to camp overnight for the past 2-3 years. Before this, this place was not very well known, but it is famous among campers who like a quiet and natural atmosphere. When you arrive, after registering with the staff at the front, you can drive down and park at the area near the camping area below. The way down to the camping area below is a steep dirt and sand road, not suitable for low-slung cars. Especially during the rainy season or when there is a storm, the road will be muddy and not suitable for driving down. Sometimes, if it is assessed that there is a risk that the car will not be able to go up, the staff will let tourists park their cars at the area above and bring their stuff down to set up the tents below instead (those who like to carry things may have to carry several times). However, on weekends, there will be a lot of people camping here. It is recommended to come early in the morning, no later than 10-11 am, otherwise, all the good spots will be reserved (the camping area here does not need to be reserved). Whoever arrives first gets to choose the location first)#Lopburi travel #Waterfall travel #Travel

Cheap and good accommodation in Lopburi for a few hundred baht really exists.
#Accommodation for a few hundred baht
I found a place to stay in Lopburi for a few hundred baht (only 400 baht/night). When I went there, I didn't expect much at this price, but when I actually got to the room, it was really good. The room was new, had air conditioning, a water heater, a TV, drinking water, and toilet paper.
There are 2 zones of rooms: the building zone like the one we stayed in for 400 baht per night, and the single-family home zone for 500 baht per night. There is plenty of parking and it's definitely enough. In front of the hotel, there is a small restaurant with delicious food. You can eat here.
The accommodation is in Chai Badan District, Lopburi, on the Saraburi-Lomsak road. It's easy to find and suitable for people who come to visit the Pasak Dam, Sri Thep Park, or stop along the way to Phetchabun. #Lopburi accommodation #Cheap accommodation #Visit Lopburi

Accommodation for a few hundred baht in Lopburi, near the Pasak Dam
#Accommodation under a hundred
Who is this hotel suitable for?? - People who want to stop halfway on their trip to Phetchabun - People who are looking for accommodation near the Pasak Dam or Si Thep Historical Park 🏨🌤️ The hotel is called Ban Pla Wan Resort Hotel, located on the Saraburi-Lomsak road. There are 2 types of rooms: indoor rooms for 400 baht and private houses for 550 baht. There were 4 of us, 2 adults and 2 children, and we chose to stay in a room in the building for 400 baht, which was a great value. ⭐️🌱 The room had all the amenities you could possibly need, including air conditioning, TV, refrigerator, water heater, 2 bottles of drinking water, towels, and tissue paper. When we booked, we didn't expect much from the price, but after staying there, it was so good that we wanted to share it. The room was clean, had all the amenities, and was located on the main road, making it easy to find. ** There is no breakfast, but there is a small restaurant in front of the hotel that serves delicious food and is cheap. **** The downside of this place is that the back of the accommodation is right next to the train tracks, which makes noise from time to time. For those who have difficulty sleeping and wake up easily, this might be a problem. For us, this was not a problem at all. **#Accommodation under a hundred #Cheap accommodation #Lopburi accommodation #Lopburi #cheap hotels

Tham Khao Prang Temple | Lopburi
Hello, today I will recommend a beautiful temple. If anyone goes to Phu Thap Boek, definitely don't forget to stop by. The temple is called Wat Tham Khao Pang from Chai Badan District, Lop Buri Province. I had the opportunity to go there twice. The first time I went was when I went to my boyfriend's house in Chaiyaphum. My boyfriend saw it and said he passed it many times and asked to stop by. This time, I went with my boyfriend and prayed to the Buddha. It was the happiest thing in the world. If anyone doesn't go, I recommend it. The atmosphere is very good right now. The view is very beautiful. There is a very beautiful Buddha statue on top. Don't forget to visit.

Wang Kan Lueang Waterfall, Lopburi Province
#Flying with trip #One day trip #Lopburi, a city worth visiting #Take mom to visit #Wang Kan Lueang Waterfall
This is a waterfall that is considered popular because on the day we went, there were a lot of people. There were a lot of shops selling food, souvenirs, and it was very lively. If the concrete parking lot was full, we could park at the school's soccer field.
From the parking lot, we had to walk quite a distance to reach the point where we could play in the water. The waterfall can be accessed on both sides, or the school side where we came and the other side where there are shops that are houses and buildings, but both sides can be connected by walking.
Because there were a lot of people playing in the water, the waterfall didn't look very clean.

Make merit on a holiday at Tham Khao Prang Temple
Stopped by to make merit during the recent holidays at Wat Tham Khao Prang, a temple of the people under the Dhammayuttika Nikaya sect, located in Nikhom Lam Narai Subdistrict, Chai Badan District, Lopburi Province.
Originally, this area was called Khao Lom Fang until around 1973 when Luang Pho Suwat Khamphi Panyo (currently the abbot of Wat Khao Prang), a disciple of Luang Pho Lee Thammatharo of Wat Ashokaram, made a pilgrimage to this place and saw that this place was suitable for practicing Dhamma and was suitable for building a temple. He established it as a temple on February 12, 1988 and received the royal charter of the boundary markers on September 23, 1996.
The highlight of the temple is the Buddha statue in the First Sermon or Dharmachakra posture, measuring 32 meters wide and 56 meters high. He is in a cross-legged sitting position, his right hand raised and fingers folded into a circle, and his left hand raised to support it. The equipment consists of a Dharmachakra wheel and an umbrella at the very top. Built in 2014, there is a seven-headed Naga staircase to climb up to view the area around the base of the Buddha statue. In addition, the temple also has a nine-spired pagoda or Navalokuttara pagoda, which is a pagoda enshrining the Buddha's relics and the relics of the meditation masters on the top of the pagoda.
