Tha Ton
6–8 gru 2024, Tajlandia ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Spent 2 nights in Tha Ton. We wanted to rent a motorbike and hike, but we found out here that not many tourists come here and it hasn't been the same since Covid. There are no motorbike rentals and there is a lot of damage from a big flood earlier this year. There is also no public boat transit down the river like we were planning (since Covid).
We went to the Friday night market, we hiked up to the local temple, Wat Tha Ton which was a very cool temple and had scenic views.
We rented bicycles and the local who rented the bikes to us, took us on an impromptu bike ride in the countryside for 45 minutes. It was beautiful and amazing! Czytaj więcej
