And There's No Stopping Jonathan

After all those summer trips, I embarked on another short sojourn and this time in the provinces of Chantaburi, Sra Kaeo and Nakhon Nayok. Although the weather was cloudy at that time, I proceeded to a resort on a weekday, a Monday to be exact, and guess what, nobody's there. I was able to enjoy the sights and sounds of the violent waters, the howling wind, and the bed weather. I was scared at first but once I lay my head on a pillow, I'm off to slumber.

Part of the resort, deserted and weather beaten.

The next day, I went to the border of Thailand and Cambodia to scout things at the market. There were a lot of people as the area was a trading place for goods between the two countries. The items were basically the same as the one found in Thai markets. I was just baffled as I cannot guess who among the people are Thais or Cambodians but it wasn't important. The best thing was being able to visit this important location after travelling hundreds of kilometres in one day. 

River Resort and Spa

Afterwards, I was at the province of Sra Kaeo enjoying the resort where I stayed. It was painted in pink but interspersed with artworks all over the facilities. It is a small boutique hotel but looked elegant from inside and outside. I enjoyed my stay what with the rain that romanticized the evening for me. I mean, I cannot go anywhere. I was stuck in bed with my iPad. 

Pool shaped like the number 9

A place for a picnic

Never say never and off I visited Sirika Waterfalls the next day in Nakhon Nayok. Located in Sarika sub-district, the nine-tier waterfall plunges down a cliff onto a forested hillside, and has large pools at each tier. However, it wasn't a day or the season for bathing or for a swim as the water was in its strongest. The weather makes it impossible for people to enjoy the cold waters. One can enjoy feeding the hundreds and thousands of large fish though.

Cascading fresh mountain water for your eyes only.
