"Limited time, boundless exploration."
Hello again, I have the opportunity to spend my savings on traveling to see new things and do new things. After becoming a full-time employee for the first time in my life, I immediately realized the value of weekends. Time is limited and must be used wisely.
.
A short, fun trip happened in a flash. "I want to see the sea for a day trip"... Sattahip, not too near, not too far. Not too easy to get to, and not too difficult. Before we went, we opened reviews and searched for information. Most people go snorkeling to see clownfish (singing like P'Singto, Na Chok, look). But when we actually got there, hey, wait a minute. This place has everything. You can run through the mountains, through the forest, and get a sense of the greenness of nature. Or you can breathe in the strange, salty smell of the sea.
We will not tell you how to get there, but we will take you there, to see it, to experience it, to fall in love with it. This place, Sattahip.
If you start to think it's right, take it to your friends.

"If life starts to feel boring, try going on a trip."
The rooster's crow at 6 am, accompanied by the less jarring alarm clock, was drowned out by my mother's shout: "Today, we're going to Sattahip!" My notebook, acting as a memory aid, reminded me why I had to wake up early on this sweltering weekend. I jumped out of bed and packed my bags, but wait, don't forget to shower!
At nearly 8 o'clock, we moved to the van stop at the Victory Monument and headed straight for the bus stop that said "Bangkok-Sattahip".
"140 baht is the damage that comes with no breakfast included."
After dreaming on the van, stopping by the roadside is a custom for almost all long-distance vans. They will stop for us to use the bathroom once, which we slept and slept very deeply.
Is there anything else I can help you with?
"Where are we going?" I blurted out, realizing I hadn't checked the destination. Laughter erupted from all corners of the vehicle, and the driver turned to me with a chuckle, "Seriously? Well, let me know when you figure it out." Embarrassment washed over me.
"Lotus Sattahip," a message flashed on my phone, appearing like a divine revelation of a path I wouldn't have known otherwise. It was my driver, waiting for me in Sattahip. I was on my way to meet him, to have him show me around. So, the driver, wait a moment.
11:00 AM: The Perfect Time for a Beachside Bite
The rumbling of our stomachs, the untouched breakfast, and the anticipation of lunch all pointed to one thing: it was time to eat. Our first stop was Coffee Beach, a charming café with stunning ocean views and a refreshing sea breeze. The delicious coffee was the perfect accompaniment to the beautiful scenery.
"The best iced cocoa with whipped cream," he said, and then told us to go sit down and he would bring it to us. The shop was small but not too small, with several corners to sit and take pictures.
"The joy of the journey lies in pausing to replenish what is missing."
"The cocoa is here," a faint voice whispered in my right ear. As I turned, I caught a glimpse of a group of aunties, whose combined age must have been quite considerable. They were chatting amiably, as if they were on a nostalgic trip back to their youth.
Hey, how are you? I'm curious to know what people from that era talk about in this modern age. Perhaps it's heartwarming and nostalgic stories they share together.
.
Despite having just finished playing, my stomach continued to grumble.
Next to Coffee Beach, there is a small fishing bridge where photography is prohibited. Being innocent and adorable,
Employing my innate charm and wide-eyed innocence, I sought permission to capture a brief photographic moment.
"Don't stay in there too long, young man!"
"Sure, no problem!"
On our way, we passed by Haad Teang Ngam, a beautiful beach that we noted for a future visit.
If you have time, stop by. It's beautiful, especially in the evening.
It's lunchtime! We chose a Som Tam restaurant based on the locals' recommendations. We're open to trying anything they suggest, especially since we love Som Tam. This trip is extra special and exciting because my parents, who are also our drivers, are joining us. I'm a little nervous, but mostly excited!
"Go ahead, order whatever you want," she said, her voice laced with generosity. We took a deep breath, overwhelmed by her kindness.
"Spicy papaya salad with crispy noodles, poached shrimp in fish sauce, fried chicken, Isaan sausage, and seafood tom yum soup"
"How crispy is this crispy pork?"
"Two bags of sticky rice, please."
… with the food order complete, let's take a look at the menu.
The conversation flowed naturally among the group, with everyone taking turns to speak. The adults initiated most of the topics, but we occasionally interjected with our own contributions. My hands trembled slightly at times, especially when serving food to the driver. I wanted to show affection, but I was unsure if it was appropriate, so I did it discreetly. Reflecting on it now, I realize how self-conscious I was.
For a meal for four people, it cost 600 baht. The seafood here is incredibly fresh, especially the large prawns. It seems like they have a saltwater pond behind the restaurant where they raise the seafood.
After a savory meal, we naturally craved something sweet. We discussed finding a place where we could take photos of the ocean and enjoy a leisurely stroll. However, since we needed something sweet to balance out the savory flavors, "Urban cafe" emerged as the ideal solution. We carefully examined Google Maps to ensure we didn't miss it.
Pink Milk Ice - The actual name is cooler than this, but we can't remember it. Let's call it this for now and wait for the owner to correct us.
Is there anything else I can help you with?
We sat there for quite a while, chatting with the owner, who was around our age. The owner was a great conversationalist, and we were just getting into the swing of things when we decided to order another round.
It was so filling, I was really stuffed. It was a lot of food.

It's time to head to the beach before the beautiful sky fades away, but new places keep popping up.
Next station: HTMS Chakri Naruebet
We saw our friends go when we were in high school. They went as a group, the school took them, but we didn't go. So I told the driver verbally to make him feel weak, "Let's go see the boat, let's go, let's go!" (It's the sweetest thing ever.)
It is recommended to bring an "umbrella" as the weather is quite unpredictable, but the scenery will be beautiful, like very beautiful. The sky will be clear, which is a good thing.
Free admission, no cost involved.
"The beauty of the image cannot compare to the experience of seeing it in person."
Children run around playfully, reminding us of the innocence of childhood when we craved sweets. However, the children here are different. They are not fussy and enjoy running around on the boat. Children love to travel, and so do we, which means we are still children at heart.
The scorching sun burned my skin, leaving me with a tan that was beyond repair. (I can tolerate being tanned, but I can only handle the heat for a short while.) I waved goodbye and told myself, "Next time, I'll bring long sleeves."
"A flag that adorns the bow of a ship"
We complained to the driver again, "I want to see something cool here." (I begged him once) Suddenly,
The text you provided is already in English. Would you like me to translate it to another language?
Unlike what is often portrayed on television, the viewing area may not be extensive, but it is sufficient to observe the turtles swimming around.
Close enough to touch
It is possible to provide the turtle with some greenery.
Since this morning, time has passed so quickly that we can hardly keep up.
Let's playfully tease each other a little, and then we can go to the beach to take some pictures together.
"Ao Dong Taal": A Picnic Spot for All Generations
"Ao Dong Taal" is a popular picnic spot that attracts people of all ages.
Offers a variety of warm and gentle experiences.
There is also a pre-wedding shoot.
Dogs are also allowed to play in the park.
They started drinking early in the day.
The children ran off to play in the water, leaving their family behind.
The warmth of the evening is indescribable. It's a perfect time to relax with family or friends on a day off.
Given another chance, we'll bring a mat, sit down, and find something to eat together.
It's real, not bragging.
I really want to take it home! It's so cute! <3
Capturing the Final Moments
We found it adorable, the siblings playing together. In fact, we captured it on video.
However, we are not pleased with the overflowing garbage, which has spoiled the atmosphere.
Let's work together to keep our beaches clean and free of trash. Wouldn't it be better to look out and see crystal-clear water?
And there are no remnants of our handiwork.
I'm a sucker for beautiful scenery.
Finally, we said our goodbyes and got back on the bus. It was a strange and wonderful trip. We don't often get to travel together, but we found that it was a great way to connect and recharge. It was a mix of fun and loneliness as we said our goodbyes, another flavor of life that we all must experience.
