Phetchaburi for the weekend



Phetchaburi for the weekend was certainly a fun weekend with the family. This is where we went - amongst other places but the battery ran out and sometimes there was no signal. An early start trying to escape from the Bangkok traffic was necessary!


It was a lovely journey after we left Bangkok.


Stop One: Wiwak Lam Nao Prai Bureau of Monks สำนักสงฆ์วิเวกลำเนาไพรhttps://goo.gl/maps/uiisYqZpbSS2 - this was a large are where there were two Buddhist monuments, a large lake of fish and more, worth a visit.



Our Hotel: Baan Maka Nature Lodgehttps://goo.gl/maps/f6TCoNpovWn - a wonderful hotel for nature and specifically bird lovers.



Stop Two: Kaeng Krachan Dam View Point จุดชมวิวเขื่อนแก่งกระจาน - https://goo.gl/maps/oG7Tx2NhJkq - a grey day today.
