#Let's talk about travel Pirom Cafe (Phirom Cafe) is a cafe with an ultra-modern design, surrounded by a lush green atmosphere of shrubs that are layered and decorated like a tea plantation. The decorations around the shop have become another interesting highlight. In addition, the back of the shop is next to a small pond with a mountain view as the backdrop, creating a beautiful scenery. It is suitable for sitting and relaxing. If you are traveling in the Pak Chong, Khao Yai area, you must not miss stopping by to take pictures and have a cool drink. Pirom Cafe is located in the Phirom at Vineyard project, on the same route as PB Valley Vineyard and The Bloom. When you arrive, park your car in front of the shop, which has enough parking space. Then walk inside through a cool black stone wall, which many people like to stand and take pictures at this point. When you arrive, order food and drinks, pay at the counter, and then wait to be called to receive food according to the queue. There will be no staff to serve food here. The atmosphere of the cafe is quite spacious. The shop is a brown wooden building, triangular in shape, similar to a wine cellar. In front of the shop, there are green ornamental shrubs that are layered and beautifully arranged, similar to a tea plantation in Chiang Rai, adding a gimmick to the shop very well.

#Let's talk about travel Mother Say No is a restaurant and cafe in Khao Yai that is very outstanding in terms of architecture. It can be called another "landmark" of Khao Yai. Both the building is designed using bamboo in a stunning shape and the garden design that enhances the place to stop and take pictures that you can't miss. In terms of food, Mother Say No offers a variety of food with a lot of choices, from Western food, fusion food, Thai food, to cafe-style desserts and drinks that should satisfy everyone. Overall, Morher Say No is a restaurant that is more than just a place to eat. In terms of the beautiful architecture that invites you to take hundreds of pictures, the food and dessert menus are delicious and up to standard. I personally like the ribeye steak and pork leg menus in particular. The price is not much different from Bangkok, which I think is quite fair for the good atmosphere of the restaurant.

#Let's talk about travel Hao is a wooden house cafe located in a small alley in the heart of Pak Chong, Nakhon Ratchasima Province. There is a parking lot inside. It is convenient to travel. It is only a 1-2 hour drive from Bangkok. Hao is a 2-storey wooden house decorated in Thai-Chinese style. It brings together a variety of cultures in this cafe. This makes Hao a cafe that is different and unique. It is therefore a new thing that anyone who visits Khao Yai-Pak Chong must stop by at least once. Because in addition to the outside of the shop being very attractive, the inside of the shop is decorated in a style that resembles a retro teahouse in China. But there is also a little bit of Isan Thai. The drink-food menu has both a set of food that we can come to eat, both savory and sweet. But it focuses on drinks and desserts. The highlight is the drink that mixes a variety of Thai-Chinese, which has its own unique characteristics. Both taste good and look good to eat. We almost don't dare to eat because Hao really pays attention to every detail. The signature menu of the shop is "Hao", which is coffee mixed with coconut water. On top is coconut foam and "Baan-Baan Khanom Krok", a Thai-Chinese recipe with a perfect blend of coconut milk and sweet flavor. Prices start at 55-130 baht. Opening and closing times are 7:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. (open every day)

Korat... the gateway to the Northeast. Do you think this place has more to discover beyond its main tourist attractions? Where is the best place for Isaan cuisine? If I had to choose one place, I would pick the Monument of Thao Suranari, or "Ya Mo," located in the heart of Korat (Nakhon Ratchasima). This monument was built to commemorate the heroic deeds of Thao Suranari (Khun Ying Mo), a heroine who saved Nakhon Ratchasima from invasion in the past. What impresses me most is the grandeur and sanctity of this monument, which serves as a spiritual center and symbol of faith for the people of Korat and all Thais. Visiting to pay respects and offer tributes for good fortune is an important tradition. Visitors can feel the power of courage, sacrifice, and patriotism that Ya Mo demonstrated. This monument is more than just a statue; it is a symbol of pride, unity, and the spirit of the people of Korat, which continues to inspire future generations. The city of Ya Mo. And you, if you visit Nakhon Ratchasima, which place would you choose as your top destination?

#tripflyingtoprayfornewyear Location: Thao Suranari (Ya Mo) Monument Atmosphere: A sacred place in the heart of Korat. People come to pay homage all the time. The place is clean and spacious. There is a troupe of actors who accept vows next to the monument. Come early in the morning to find parking easily. If you visit Korat, I recommend that you come to pay homage to the Ya Mo Monument first. It will bring good fortune. 📍Address: Rajadamnern Rd, Nai Mueang, Mueang Nakhon Ratchasima District, Nakhon Ratchasima 30000

#WinterAttractions Location: Nakhon Ratchasima Zoo (Korat Zoo) Nakhon Ratchasima Zoo (Korat Zoo) Atmosphere: A zoo in the northeast that is well-maintained. The bathrooms are clean. The overall place has been good since it first opened and is still open today. There are many activities for children to visit, such as watching a seal show and brushing their teeth with a hippo. However, you have to look at the schedule carefully because there are limited rounds each day. The food prices are according to the tourist attractions. It is understandable because the zoo's expenses are probably high. I hope that this will help support them to continue opening. It is a good place for children to learn. You can take a car to see the zoo or ride a bicycle to various points, which is very convenient. 📍Address: Village No. 1 111 Chai Mongkhon, Mueang Nakhon Ratchasima District, Nakhon Ratchasima 30000 💰Price: - Adult entrance fee 130฿, parking fee 50฿

The Thao Suranaree Monument or Ya Mo is an important landmark of Nakhon Ratchasima Province that anyone who visits here must add to their list of places to visit. The day we visited was quite hot, so there were always many people visiting. First, we offered flowers to bring to worship before going to place them in front of the statue of Ya Mo. I have heard that if anyone comes to worship Ya Mo, they might become a descendant of Korat or have a partner from Korat. We have to wait for someone to answer whether anyone has actually asked for a partner from Korat and gotten it. Advice: Come in the morning or evening because the area is quite hot. #Get a discount without relying on luck
