My First Post! - Nakhon Nayok, Thailand

Wow I'm finally here! Hello fellow steemit members I'm @asianeye and I'm from Thailand, I was introduced to this platform through my husband, who spends far too many hours on here! I love traveling with my family and taking photographs! So I decided to join and today I am going to take you on a journey to Nakhon Nayok, a picturesque area which is one of the most central places in Thailand! Nakhon Nayok means 'Tax Free City', but today's travel expedition is all within nature. This beautiful area is about 1 and a half to two hours drive east of Bangkok, but you will not regret it for a moment!

A breath of fresh air after being in the big city!

As you can see in the picture above we stopped off on this road, which had a lake or reservoir and the beautiful green rolling mountains in the background, making it a beautiful start to our journey and the perfect spot to start our trip.

After this lovely start my brother drove us to a waterfall close by, there had been really heavy rainfall for the previous few weeks, so we were unable to reach the waterfall with a clear view, but we relaxed at the lower levels and my little boy played in the stream at parts where the water current wasn't too strong. Here are some pictures from this leg of our journey:

You can just see the waterfall in the distance, but that is as much as we got to see :-(

My little boy paddled in the water here, but slipped over and his grandmother helped dry him off!

You can never escape a Bangkok taxi! Can you see it on the bridge?

We sat on the rocks next to the river, my little boy wanted to jump in, but the current was really strong. So we dangled our legs in the water while eating the lunch, the water was ice cold!

After finishing lunch and warming our toes up we moved on to visit a dam with beautiful views. We went to Khun Dan Prakan Chon Dam. It is pretty big at 93m tall and 2720m long. It can hold upto 224 million cubic m of water before it is full. Walking along the top of this was a joy and my little boy loved running around with his daddy and checking out the views from this water barrier.

That track would be great for cycling, wouldn't it?

Oh, I thought I would save my picture for last, this was when I visited The Lake District in England, it was a bit too cold for my liking!

I hope you enjoyed my blog and Khob Khun Ka (Thank You) from Thailand. xxx
