Koji cha cafe ☕😋

#timetotravel I stopped by Koji Cha Cafe in Sadao, Thailand, and decided to try their Koji Cha Black Iced Tea. It was a delightful choice with a good taste, and the best part is, it's budget-friendly at just 24 baht. The cafe boasts a welcoming environment with its elegant design and spacious seating. The enthusiastic staff members enhance the overall experience. It seems like a popular spot for students, and the speedy Wi-Fi certainly adds to its appeal. I'll definitely return to Koji Cha Cafe for more of that tasty tea.

sadao thai temple👍🏻

#timetotravel I rode my motorcycle to a beautiful temple in Sadao, Thailand, one afternoon. It's located in a more rural area, and this temple is a true gem. The Buddhist architecture here is stunning, with intricate details and beautiful artwork, including some exquisite paintings above the entrance. This place exudes tranquility and a sacred atmosphere, perfectly complemented by the natural beauty of the surrounding flowers and greenery. It's a serene and peaceful spot where you can connect with both spirituality and nature.

The maintenance is impeccable, and the cleanliness is well-maintained. Inside, there's a deity statue and a mural, both radiating a sense of sacredness. I paid my respects with a traditional hand gesture and took a moment to admire the beauty of this Buddhist architecture before departing.

Sadao white temple🙏🏼

#timetotravel I visited the White Temple located in Sadao, Thailand, which transforms into the "Red Temple" at night with the use of red lighting. I arrived here in the evening, although I personally feel that it might be more beautiful during the daytime. Nonetheless, it still held a mysterious allure. Inside the temple, there's a white snake statue with fresh flower offerings in front of it. I took a moment to offer my prayers here. Flanking the temple entrance are two white elephant statues, adding to the solemn and sacred atmosphere. Whether day or night, this place is serene and spiritually significant, providing a sense of tranquility and sanctity.

Sadao milk tea shop 👍🏻🙏🏼

#timetotravel During my visit to Sadao, Thailand, I discovered the delightful Akiko Tea, a charming tea shop that specializes in milk tea. Here, I ordered a glass of iced chocolate milk, and it was truly a treat for the senses. The flavor was exquisite, with a rich chocolatey taste and just the right amount of sweetness. What makes Akiko Tea even more appealing is its affordability. Despite the high-quality beverages, the prices are very reasonable. The atmosphere is fresh and youthful, with a modern design that adds to the overall experience. The staff at Akiko Tea were not only friendly but also polite, creating a welcoming atmosphere. To top it off, the fast Wi-Fi allowed me to catch up on work or connect with friends while enjoying my drink. For me, Akiko Tea has become a go-to place to unwind and savor a delicious beverage. It's the perfect spot to relax and enjoy some downtime, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Sadao.

Padang Besar Mountain top

#travellerswonderland It's a mountain that rises up almost to the end from the Padang side....I recommend coming at 5:00 a.m. to see the very beautiful mist lake...come and visit...but be careful about going up the mountain. ..The mountain is very steep..The car must be in strong and durable condition. the most beautiful view is the one I recommend: the sea of mist and the mountains. ..between Thailand and Malaysia.

Night market Padang Besar Thai

Night markets are always so lively and full of delicious food and unique finds! Padang Besar Night Market must be a vibrant place to explore with all the local flavors and goods on display. At Padang Besar Night Market, you can find a variety of popular Thai street foods like satay, grilled seafood, roti canai, and various types of noodles. The aroma of sizzling dishes and the hustle and bustle of the market create such a lively and exciting atmosphere.#100waysoftravel #myhiddengems #foodie

The Khao Nam Khang Historical Tunnel

Did you wonder about how the communist lived in the forest? I was fortunate to get to visit an ex - communist village in Khao Nam Khang and it was definitely interesting!!! Khao Nam Khang Historical Tunnel is situated in Mu 1, Ban Piyamit 5, Tambon Klongkwang, Natawee District, Songkhla Province, four Km from Khao Nam Khang National Park. This area was once a communist village and tunnels were built in the mountains to provide housing and shelter for the Communist people… but after the Communist Party declared an end to the fighting, the tunnel is now open to public as a unique new tourist attraction…. The tunnel is about 1,000 meters long, and is divided into many sections such as bed rooms, cooking room, signals office, meeting room, shooting range, emergency room, etc. There is also a restaurant serving delicious and healthy dishes, souvenir shop and herbal remedies shop at the tunnel complex. You can visit the tunnel with Hatyai-Nathawee-Banprakob-Khao Nam Khang Route (92 km.) #amazingnewchapters #yourstoriesneverend #tatkl #hatyai #phattalung
