Accommodation: Lungsanan Homestay, Ban Pakpra, Khuan Khanun District, Phatthalung Province

Staying at Lungsanan Homestay truly immerses you in the lifestyle of local fishermen.

The accommodation looks like this. There are many cats, they are very cute and playful.

Upon arriving at the accommodation in the late afternoon, I freshened up and then a friend who knew Uncle Sanan took me on a tour of the Thale Noi Wetland.

A light drizzle began to fall, bringing a refreshing coolness to the air. My companion then took me to the 80th Anniversary of His Majesty's Accession Bridge to capture the breathtaking sunset.

The sky was dark, and my brother took me back to the accommodation. Those who are good at cooking can cook for themselves, or Uncle Sanan will prepare it for you. The atmosphere is like going back to my hometown to visit relatives. After that, I took a shower and went to bed early. Because Uncle Sanan made an appointment at 5 am to go on a boat trip to see the giant lotus in the middle of the sea and see the way of life in the morning of the people here.

The next morning, around 5:30 AM, we boarded the boat.

The first stop is the Lamphu Tree, where you can wade through the water to take photos, as the water is only knee-deep.

Departing from Ton Lamphu, the boat will stop in the middle of the sea for a close-up photo opportunity with the Giant Swing. You can take photos until you are satisfied.

Here is a picture of Uncle Sanan. Hehe.

After taking photos of the giant, the guide will take you to a small island in the middle of the sea for breakfast. The breakfast prepared by the guide is turmeric rice, which is very delicious.

After breakfast, we will visit Talay Noi, a lake filled with blooming lotuses. Uncle Sanan informed us that the lotus flowers can be admired year-round.

While admiring the lotus flowers, we couldn't resist taking pictures of the beautiful scenery.

There were also water buffalo, but they refused to come down to play in the water, so we could only watch them from afar.

We have arrived at Talay Noi, where you can admire the beautiful lotus flowers.

The lotus flower can be harvested and the stem can be used to make delicious food.

After returning to the accommodation in the late morning, you can have breakfast (if you are not full), take a shower, and rest. However, I asked the driver to take me to Napokae, Phai Market, and the Botanical Garden by a wooden two-row car. Then, I returned to take pictures of the sunset at the bridge over Pakpra Canal.

Let's skip to the evening at the Pak Pra Canal Bridge.

After that, we returned to our accommodation. It was the last night we would be sleeping here.

The scene cuts to the next morning at the same bridge over Khlong Pak Pra. The camera captures the sunrise.

It was late, so I checked into my accommodation, showered, packed my bags, and checked out. I then headed to the train station. While waiting for the train, I hired a three-wheeled taxi behind the train station to take me to the City Pillar Shrine, Wat Kuha Sawan, and Wat Tham Malai Thep Nimit.

Besides the three aforementioned locations, for those who consider themselves physically fit, I recommend ascending Khao Ok Talu. This challenging climb involves navigating 1,066 steps followed by a rope climb to reach the summit.

This concludes my review. Thank you all for watching. ^^
