Bangkok Post (Travel)
Eighty kilometres west of Bangkok is Ratchaburi blessed with abundant natural beauty and mountain scenery that together with its multi-ethnic diversity and warm hospitality pull in tourists all year round, but more so in winter when people travel there to enjoy cool weather and admire the sight of hilltops and valleys covered in layers of fog.Sitting this side of the Tenasserim mountain range that forms a natural border between Thailand and Burma and fed by the Mae Klong and Phachi rivers, the province is a paradise for birders and campers, especially its inner districts like Suan Phueng on the Burmese border.
Our trip began in Suan Phueng with a night spent in tents we pitched atop Huay Khok Moo, a mountain rising 800 metres above sea level, to catch the first rays of the sun next day. In winter, we were told, a sea of fog envelopes the entire valley, but when we woke up that morning _ and it was still dark _ all there was to see was a small white patch hanging over a section of the valley. Naturally we were disappointed, but we persevered waiting for the sun to come up, and when it did what a magnificent sight it was: in a matter of minutes the entire valley was bathed in a puff of white and the view from the mountaintop absolutely breathtaking.
That same afternoon we visited Ban Bowi, a Karen settlement in tambon Tanaosi, some 10 kilometres from our camping site, and spent a good part of our time sampling the local lifestyle before calling on Baan Hom Tien, a shop, where we tried our hands making aromatic candles.
The next day we drove to Wat Pleng district and visited Wat Praharuethai, a magnificent century-old church, also known as the Sacred Heart of Jesus Church. For souvenirs we bought Banpleng peanut toffees, an Otop product of the district, at a shop just five minutes drive from the church, and then we were on our way back to Bangkok, covering the distance in slightly over an hour.
(Summary)
Ratchaburi blessed with abundant natural beauty and mountain scenery that together.
