"Land of the Elephant Battle, renowned literature, famed amulets, flourishing agriculture, rich history, cradle of scholars and artists, captivating dialect."

The trip to Suphan Buri was prompted by a family obligation, a celebratory event for a distant relative, of which I was notified only a week prior to the journey.

Embarking on a Saturday morning around 9 am from Bang Na, passing through the Sri Rat Expressway > Route 302 and 340, running along the way until reaching Route 3431 in Suphan Buri Province.

To avoid a wasted trip, we visited some of the area's most popular tourist destinations before checking into our accommodations.

The first stop is "Wat Pa Lelai Woravihara". If you travel to Suphan Buri and don't stop by to pay respects to Luang Pho To at Wat Pa Lelai, it's like you haven't arrived in Suphan Buri.

"Wat Pa Lelai Worawihan" is a significant temple in Suphan Buri province, boasting a rich history spanning approximately 1,200 years.

After paying respects to Luang Pho To, I walked outside to admire the murals depicting the story of Khun Chang and Khun Phaen around the wiharn. Despite the sweltering heat on the day of my visit, the area around the wiharn was pleasantly cool and breezy. I enjoyed strolling around, observing the murals, and taking photographs.

Departing from Wat Pa Lelaiyok, continue on Route 340 to the "Thai Buffalo Conservation Village" (Ban Kwai).

Admission is required before entering. Adults are 30 baht each. Today, there are very few tourists. Besides us, there are 2 other families of tourists. As a result, there is no buffalo show today.

Upon arrival, we were rather disappointed. We took photos of the buffalo in their pens and walked around the traditional Thai house before leaving due to the extreme heat. There were no performances or other tourists present. We felt that the entrance fee (90 baht for three people) was not worth the experience. We spent approximately 15 minutes at the attraction before continuing our journey.

The third place is "Talad Sam Chuk", a market for those who love Thai desserts, fresh fruits from the garden, and a variety of food.

Strolling around, buying snacks, and enjoying the walk, I came across "Ancient Fresh Dumplings" that looked delicious and affordable. I ordered a box of 8 dumplings for 20 baht to try.

Large, flavorful dumplings filled with seasoned pork and fragrant pepper, drizzled with a tangy sauce and garnished with fresh coriander. A delightful and satisfying treat.

A popular local snack sold at many shops is "sesame rice crackers," which are grilled fresh and hot. Dry sesame rice crackers are grilled over charcoal covered in ash to produce a low flame until they turn yellow. They are then placed on a tray in a metal groove to give them a curved shape. The taste is sweet and nutty.

However, if you visit Sam Chuk Market and don't try the giant meatballs, it's said that you haven't truly experienced the market.

"Giant meatballs" are sold in many shops. I don't know which one to buy. Some shops claim to be the first, some claim to be the most delicious, and some claim to be the original. I can't decide...

The customer hesitated for a moment before stopping at "Isara Big Meatball Shop." The owner of the shop (the person in the logo) invited him to try a sample. After tasting it, he was impressed by the delicious dipping sauce and decided to buy from this shop.

The meatballs at this shop are made fresh right in front of you. The large pot of boiling meatballs is made fresh and then skewered and grilled to give them a delicious aroma. The meatballs are made from pure pork and are fragrant with pepper. They are served with the shop's signature dipping sauce, which comes in two varieties. The first, on the left, is red and has a spicy and sour flavor. The second, on the right, is brown and has a sweet and spicy flavor. Both are delicious.

Grilled meatballs are available in 3 sizes and prices. On the left, large meatballs are 2 skewers for 50 baht. In the middle, medium-sized meatballs are 3 skewers for 50 baht. On the right, big meatballs are 100 baht each.

Big meatballs are suitable for making Yum (from my perspective, buying big meatballs is more worthwhile than buying small ones).

"Boiled Acacia concinna" here are beautifully peeled and sold in bags, reminding me of my childhood with my grandmother. She called it "buffalo horn," and that's what we still call it today. To eat it, we had to smash the pods with a pestle to crack the shells. Sometimes we used a cleaver, which made a mess and didn't produce nice, clean pieces like these.

Before leaving the Sam Chuk market, I stopped to buy ripe mangoes at the entrance for 35 baht per kilogram. The vendor told me that they were mangoes from the orchard. I bought 2 kilograms and took them home to eat with sticky rice. After returning home, I peeled and tasted them. They were sweet and delicious. My mother said it was a pity that I didn't buy more.

In the late afternoon, I drove into the city and checked into a hotel near the venue.

"Baan Kiang Klong Resort" costs 1,050 baht (including extra bed).

The front has a wooden table where you can sit and relax in the evening. However, there are a lot of mosquitoes at night.

C2 house is relatively new, but... the air conditioner is not cold, the extra bed is a mattress on the floor *you have to lay the mattress and sheet yourself*, the bathroom has no towel rack, and the toiletries in the bathroom only have one small bar of soap and one small bottle of shampoo.

The accommodation has a small refrigerator, a water heater, and an electric kettle for making coffee. Upon arrival, we found a dead cat lying behind the room (next to the entrance door), which emitted a strong odor and attracted flies. The concrete bench used as a doorstop had to be lifted and moved inside.

Breakfast is not included. A key deposit of 200 baht is required and will be refunded upon return of the key.

Stayed here for 1 night. Sunday morning, checked out at 7 am and went to a auspicious event. After that, around 3 pm, traveled back to Bangkok.

This trip could be better described as a stopover, as the primary purpose was to attend a celebratory event.

Suphan Buri, a small, peaceful town with fresh air and uncongested roads, offers a relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Its convenient location near Bangkok makes it an ideal weekend getaway destination.
