Autt Crab Fried Rice at Yaowarat

We recommend the duo: “Braised Fish Maw in Red Sauce and Crab Fried Rice” The first bite of the crab fried rice will give you a slightly burnt flavor from the hot wok, mixed with generous chunks of crab meat and eggs fried together. The taste is incredibly delicious. The braised fish maw in red sauce features tender fish maw combined with crab meat and mushrooms, along with a rich and smooth broth. The flavor is perfectly balanced. Location: Opposite the front of Korbkan Market (Mae Kru Market).

wooden houses👍🏻suratthani

#timetotravel While strolling through Surat Thani's city center in Thailand one afternoon, I stumbled upon two charming vintage wooden houses. These houses were incredibly beautiful and exuded a rich sense of history. Their vintage design was simply breathtaking, and they appeared to have been recently repainted, radiating a fresh and vibrant look. I was particularly enamored with the exquisite window designs. These wooden houses were two stories tall, and their exteriors alone were a sight to behold, perfect for photography and creating lasting memories. Unfortunately, I couldn't explore the interiors, but they remained a rare and captivating find.

The White Clock Tower of Surat Thani👍🏻

City Pillar Shrine - The White Temple🙏🏼

The design of this white temple was truly exquisite. Inside, a golden pillar with four Buddha heads graced the sanctuary, creating a profoundly sacred atmosphere. I joined in with hands clasped, bowing in prayer for a safe and peaceful journey. I must also mention the cleanliness of the pathways and the spacious green surroundings.

พันวารี เดอะกรีนเนอร์รี่ (Panvaree The Greenery)

Nice location, very clean water, clean place to stay and simple, well equipped, helpful staffs. The food is few selection and is served as a set menu. The taste is just ok but will be even limited choice if you can not eat spicy dish. Internet connection is terrible. So its good if you only need a peaceful place and cut yourself out from the world. #ทีมภาคใต้ #กิจกรรมทางน้ำ
