- Continuing from our last episode, you can catch up on the latest developments here: • Khao Yai National park...
In this latest episode, we venture further north, delving into an array of captivating sightseeing destinations and delectable food experiences.
First, we make a pit stop at a Saraburi province petrol station to savour the renowned Karee Pup, a snack possibly named after the delectable Curry Puff.
Following that, we enjoy a swift yet satisfying lunch at a century-old restaurant specializing in deep-fried wontons, located within the Sao Hai market, itself celebrating a century of existence.

1. Wat Tham Krabok Temple

- A mesmerizing place to visit, boasting unique architectural statues crafted from lava stone. The sight of these statues is truly awe-inspiring. As you wander through the temple grounds, you'll quickly grasp the contrast between our small human presence and the grandeur of the giant Buddha images that surround us.
2. Phra Prang Sam Yot

- In this episode, we briefly explore ancient buildings by car. However, if you have extra time, we recommend visiting Phra Prang. It is a renowned site with a significant historical background. Interestingly, the monkeys near Phra Prang are generally more approachable than those occasionally found in buildings. While local Thai residents often exercise caution when around Phra Prang, you can enjoy a safe visit as long as you refrain from disturbing the monkeys. On the other hand, in my personal experience, the monkeys in other areas tend to be wilder.
3. Basil & Coffee

- This place is well-known for its Pad Kraprao and Coffee, but unfortunately, we got there late, so we missed out on trying the Pad Kraprao this time. However, we still had a wonderful coffee and some tasty snacks while kicking back and soaking in the beautiful view in front of us.
4. Sub-Lek Reservoir
goo.gl/maps/Yi...
- We decided to check out the man-made beach, which is just a small section of this reservoir. You can find the exact location here: goo.gl/maps/tA...
The atmosphere in this area is pretty local, with the pleasant background noise of other groups not too far away. The sunset behind the mountain is hands down one of the best you'll find in Thailand. If you're looking for an even better view of the sunset, consider taking a short hike up the 200-meter pathway to this spot, guaranteed to give you a fantastic IG-worthy photo. Here's the location for that: goo.gl/maps/4z...

You have a nice way of showing us around, Dan. Thank you for that. I was at the Monkey Temple in Lopburi for a retreat in 2009. Was a good time. Stayed in Thailand 13years altogether and thinking to go back to retire there I guess ;) Keep up the good work and chok dee khrab 🙏
Thank you so much krub. I will start posting my video again in my new channel, may be later this year krub. 🙏😄

Great video Dann, we really enjoyed all the funny bits you edited in and really useful information. We definitely need to add these places to our list! 🙌
I cannot wait to have you guys back here in Thailand. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😉
Stunning place. And very interesting 🙏🏼😀
It really is. Highly recommend place to visit. 👍🏻👍🏻🚙❤️
@@ThailandSecret Enjoyed the video and the stunning sunset by the man made lake 🥰🙏🏼
@@rosieb4029 I forgot that I used different accounts to replied you. I was wondering who that is. 😂😂
@@dannbangkok haha I figured it out it was you 😀😅
@@rosieb4029 😁😆
🎉❤
🚙🚙😁👍🏻🙏❤️
Nice thumbnail Dann 👍👍👍
Thx krub. Sorry I couldn’t watch your premiere. I was in a meeting since 5 PM. Just got out from the meeting 🙏😁
@@dannbangkok no worries Dann 😉
Nice vid mate. Last time I went to that temple, there was major building work going on. I spoke to an English Mae Chi and an American monk, who told me about Pete Doherty trying to get clean there (he wasn't ready). Wanton with Kaprow?? Nice idea! I once sat in that temple in Lopburi (and filmed it haha) and worked online for an hour or two. It was quite surreal with hundreds of monkeys hanging off the windows and bars.
I was there in 2005 and the building was still full of people. I guess thing change quickly.
With Wanton make sure you visit this place when you pass by coz their wanton is really thin. Great to go with many food. 👍🏻😁
@@dannbangkok It's such a lovely setting there; I find temple grounds very peaceful, as I know you do too 😁
What did they put over the wonton? Looks yummy and Interesting.
The drone shot at the beach is fantastic! 👍🏻
We had an amazing Kraprao roast duck on top. Pork is also available. really good and yummy.
@@dannbangkok Kraprao topping sounds so good to me. I think I’ve never tried this before in my life.
@@MoreKit it has to be at this place only because the wonton deep fried is extra thin. Unlike other place.
@@dannbangkok OK!
Beautiful Dann. Crispy fried wontons, they are crunchy x 10 😁. What model drone do you and D&D are using.
Thx. It really crispy. 😁
I use DJI mini pro 3. I cannot remember Danny’s drone. @danny_and_diggy
how much is that in Thailand. is it a good brand and you recommend it ? Amazon has a few choices, depending how many batteries you want to order with it, carrying case etc...@@dannbangkok
@@brucewayne2773 I am not sure but the price is acceptable. Highly recommend to go for DJI Drone. And it is depend on you requirement. However, Mini 3 pro is one of the cheapest and very good quality. So, if you don’t do the youtube channel. I think 1 Battery is more than enough. But if it is come in pagekage and you get more battery under your budget then, go for it. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😁
I told Jimmy, I would buy him one once he hits 5k subs. It's all for him Dann. I have no use for a drone myself. You know him better than I do.@@dannbangkok
@@brucewayne2773 you are so kind my friend. So happy for people who received your spread of happiness. 😉👍🏻
How far is the 100 year old market from the Sariburi train station? Any cheaper Thai style fan hotels in the area.
You can travel by car and it will take around 15 mins. I am sure there will be a small hotel near by but I am not sure about fan room, coz most of them are with aircon in that area. The area is quite hot.
check out this home stay which offers around 500 - 600 Baht per night. maps.app.goo.gl/bN8mYLCHjwy132QX9
@@dannbangkok Thanks my hunch is that is some sort of public transport to get there or motorbike taxi.
@@destinationsunknowntheroadsles try this station is better COMMUTER NO.340 | SARABURI to BAN POKPAEK.
Ban Pokpaek is a lot closer to the market only 5 km. away. 1 hour walk. But I am sure there will be motorbike available there.
@@destinationsunknowntheroadsles I've a look at the train station. It does look very quiet. So, taxi or motorbike I am not sure if they will be there. I'll check something out for you. 😁
