Travel with Catwoman Teresa#2: 🍖🍕🍹Bangkok-Chocolate Ville 跟著貓女趴趴走#2: 曼谷-巧克力鎮🍤🍟🍗
Dear Steemit friends, I haven't posted for one week. Do you miss me?
I have been busy for making T-shirts and Taiwan meetup this week. We will hold the meetup and write the post soon. Please keep following. Thanks!
親愛的Steemit朋友們大家好,好久沒有發文了,都是因為這篇文章準備工作太久了,大家可有想我?
另外,最近在忙著台灣聚會和製作T恤的事情,也花了不少時間,請大家期待接下來的台灣聚會喔!到時我們會再發文跟大家分享。
Today I will contribute my first travel post. Thanks for your supporting as usual.
Thailand is good for free individual traveling. You can always find beautiful scene even you've been there several times. I will introduce a beautiful outdoor restaurant Chocolate Ville which is at the suburbs of Bangkok.
Don't be excited if you love chocolate because they don't reallly sell chocolate there. They name the park Chocolate Ville because the founder was used to produce chocolate box before.
The park opened in 2011 and become one of the favorite restaurants in Bangkok.
今天要跟大家分享的是我之前沒有發過的旅遊文。是的!終於要嘗試寫在Steemit最受歡迎的旅遊文了,好緊張啊!
泰國是一個很適合自由行的國家,就算曾經去過,還是可以找到很多值得去的美麗景點,去再多次也去不膩。
這次我要帶大家一起去遊覽的是一間歐洲莊園風格的戶外餐廳-巧克力鎮。巧克力控別高興得太早,那裡可沒有賣巧克力喔!會取這個名字是因為老闆是製作巧克力盒起家的,從2011年底開幕,到現在越來越夯,成為泰國非常火紅的景點之一。到底有什麼過人之處可以讓這間餐廳在競爭激烈的眾多觀光景點中脫穎而出呢?接下來就跟著Teresa來逛逛吧!
交通 Traffic
The best way to go to Chocolate Ville is by Taxi. It will take thirty to sixty minutes to get there depending on where you take the cab.
巧克力鎮位於距離曼谷市區大約30~60分鐘的車程,尤其是顛峰時間,在市區塞車是常有的事。正因為有些偏僻,才能建造腹地這麼廣闊的戶外景觀餐廳,相對的,自然必須承擔交通不便捷的缺點。對於遊客來說,最方便甚至可說是唯一的方式就是搭計程車,從曼谷市中心坐到巧克力鎮,必須經過高速公路,車費加上高速公路過路費,大概會花費$250~$400左右。
我們當天到巧克力鎮時,因為交通問題也經歷了一點小波折。
當天中午我們和朋友約在Central World百貨碰面用餐。我這個同學是泰國外商總會的主席,每年必須跟泰國政府提交貿易白皮書,據說是泰國最具影響力的台灣人。當天為了跟我們吃中飯,還翹了聯合國的會議。哈哈!沒有啦!他派了助理代替他去開會,跑出來跟我們吃飯,揪感心。到底這個身份不凡的同學跟我們這次去巧克力鎮的交通有什麼關係呢?答案是沒有!我只是覺得有這樣的同學與有榮焉,純粹想炫耀而已。
好啦好啦!別忙著打我!接下來我真的會提供大家重要的資訊。
我們吃完飯聊完天出來時,已經將近下午三點了。走出百貨公司準備搭計程車前往巧克力鎮,看到門口的計程車招呼站排著長長的人龍,沒什麼耐心的我自以為聰明,想說泰國計程車滿街跑,我們就走遠一點,應該隨處就可以在路邊攔到計程車。沒想到繞了好大一圈,滿街的計程車竟然都跟躲警報一樣完全不見影兒?
一行人滿肚子怒氣又走回計程車招呼站,不情不願的加入排隊的行列。等到我們終於坐上了車,已經超過四點了。自由行的行程真的要排得鬆一點,意外狀況真的不是普通的多啊!
上了車之後,跟司機又是一陣雞同鴨講。基於事先在網路上做過功課,我們堅持一定要跳錶。司機一直用很破的英文跟我們講價說包含過路費總共$300,其實我暗暗覺得這個價格是OK的,但是因為網路上許多部落客們殷殷告誡一定要跳錶才不會被騙,所以又自作聰明的堅決不接受,最後司機終於同意跳錶,並且高速公路過路費由我們付。
(官網照片)
Although the Chocolate Ville is popular for tourists, but many taxi drivers still don't know the exact address. You can show this map to the driver. The phone number is on the map in case the driver can't find the place.
We spend $350 for taxi and highway fees.
因為巧克力鎮離市區有些距離,雖然是很受歡迎的觀光景點,但是好像很多司機都不清楚確切地點,這時候事先準備的資料就很有用了。
我準備了泰文版的地圖,上面有地址電話。沒想到光是看地圖,司機還是找不到,最後還是打電話去餐廳求救,才指引了司機正確的方向。
折騰了半天終於到了,結果車費加上過路費總共$350,我們覺得這個司機很親切又老實,所以又賞了$50,最終花了$400,竟然比司機開價多花了$100?哎呀!反正大家分攤一下也不是太貴,出來玩盡興比較重要。
園區門口 Gate
The decoration outside of the park looks like the scene of fairy tale. I suddenly feel that I should wear the dress of Snow White to fit in the scene.
People who likes to take a selfie will love this tourist spot very much.
一走到園區門口,少女心立刻大噴發,映入眼簾的是童話般的場景,令我有點時空交錯的感覺,總覺得自己好像應該穿個白雪公主或是小紅帽的衣服才能融入這個場景。
從照片應該看得出來,這時候已經是傍晚了,再加上門口擠了一大堆人拍照,等到我好不容易拍到這張誤以為沒有太多人的照片,其實已經耗了起碼10幾分鐘了。
雖然知道這是個殺底片的景點,但是實在沒想到好拍的程度完全超乎我們想像。原本我們是預定5點之前到,可以稍微拍一下白天的景,等到吃完飯再拍一點夜景,應該就可以留下到此一遊的回憶了。沒想到眼中所見,任何一個角落都像是精心佈置的攝影棚場景,徹底超乎我的預期。
園區4點開門,經過實地的勘查,我建議大家開門之前就可以先在門口拍照,喜歡自拍的妹子光是在園區門口就可以耗掉一小時的時間。等到園區一開門,就趕快轉移陣地進到園區拍照。這樣的安排能夠避開人潮,拍到比較滿意的照片。
晚餐預約 Dinner reservation
We come here too late. It's time for our reservation of dinner so I don't take many photos here.
The table will be cancel if we don't go there in time.
If you want to dine here, I will suggest you to reserve one month ago because they only open limit amount for reservation. If you don't booking the table in advance, you may need to queue up for long time, especially on weekend.
我們事先在網路上已經訂了晚餐的位子,眼看時間快到了,只好趕快進園去報到,如果沒有準時出現,訂好的位子可是會被取消的。
網路上訂位是有名額限制的,最好提早一個月就訂位。如果沒有訂到位子,就必須現場排隊才能等到位子,假日時間去排隊,包準排到吐血。
(官網照片)
I don't like the table they keep for us. So I ask them if we can change the table. We are so lucky that there are still some tables available.
原本我訂位的時候相中的是這個區域的位子,在河面上吃晚餐,想想都覺得浪漫到不要不要的,只不過我去的那個時間已經沒有黃色小鴨了啦!為了怕訂不到,我還提前在一個多月就訂位。沒想到園方跟我說那個位置不能坐人。啥?! 不能坐人,那我看到的照片是什麼?莫非我眼睛有業障?
人家既然堅持不能訂那個區域,只好請他幫我們留一桌河邊的位子。
等到我們去報到的時候,發現他們幫我們預留的位子景觀實在乏善可陳,要我坐在那個位置吃飯,恐怕會憋一肚子悶氣。於是我多嘴問了一下可否換位子,沒想到竟然就換到了我夢寐以求的位子。
(官網照片)
We move to the beautiful glass roof area. The tables are beside the riverside. So romantic~
瞧瞧!我們最後就坐在這個美麗的玻璃屋底下吃飯,旁邊就是美麗的河景及充滿鄉村風味的建築,光是能夠坐在這麼優雅有氣氛的環境吃飯,就覺得跑這趟真是值得。
傍晚 Sunset
The park is closed at midnight. So you don't have to have dinner too early. You can take photos everywhere before the dinner, especially the sunset. The sunset of the park is breathtaking.
建議大家晚餐時間不要訂得太早。巧克力鎮會一直開到凌晨,所以即使8點吃飯,都還有充足的時間可以四處取景拍照。當然,前提是要有足夠好的設備才能拍出漂亮的夜景,建議你無論如何用借的都要帶個好點的相機,有腳架當然更好。如果你沒有好的設備,還是趁著天未暗的時候,趕緊把握時間遊園拍照,尤其是傍晚的景色,真的美得令人屏息。!

The evening light was warm and charming. It was only about an hour or so. You'd better be fast to catch the precious moment.
這些黃昏的美景,錯過了是不是很可惜?黃昏的光線溫暖迷人,大概只有短短的一小時左右,想要捕捉這個難得的片刻,手腳可得快一點。
If you want to take photos at night, you probably need better camera. Or you can bring a professional photographer with you. Hello! @Shieha, will you go visiting there with me?
我們原本預計白天來拍照,卻陰錯陽差太晚到。等到吃完飯天都暗了,光用我可憐的小手機拍出來的照片,實在挑不出幾張可以看的。瞧瞧這張,天都還沒全暗照片拍起來就已經晃成這樣了,沒有專業設備的人,記得帶個攝影高手跟你一起。 @shieha 趕快來救我啊!
雖然沒有太多自己拍的照片可以看,但是我實在覺得巧克力鎮是個很值得推薦的地方,大家還是可以從我的文章獲取一些重要的資訊。
照片的部分,會有大部分是從官網找來的圖片,請大家別介意啊!
園區內部 Inside the park
(官網照片)
Chocolate Ville covers a wide area, each area has its own characteristics. You must take at least 2~3 hours to walk around and take photos of the whole park.
巧克力鎮佔地很廣,每一個區域都各有特色,想要一邊拍照一邊繞完整個莊園,沒有2~3個小時以上怕是解決不了的。如果是攝影狂人或自拍控,恐怕會深陷其中無法自拔。
You can capture the different view for the same landscape when you take photos at daytime and nighttime. It's really a pity to miss out any beautiful moment.
同樣一個場景,白天及黑夜有截然不同的景象,真的令人捨不得錯過任何一個美麗時刻。

It's a must shooting spot. You can take pictures from different angle which will all looks like professional salon photos. The problem is, too many people want to take pictures here. So you have to wait sometimes and you'd better to seize any chance to take photos quickly.
這是到巧克力鎮必拍的一個經典場景,除了房子很可愛之外,佈置上有很多細節,隨便在任何一個角度拍起來都像是沙龍照一樣。只不過擠在那裏拍照的人潮實在很多,要拍出美美的照片還是得有點耐心,找機會見縫插針快手搶鏡。
白天 Day
白天的巧克力鎮,有可愛活潑的童話場景,也有浪漫優雅的歐式情懷。
(官網照片)
鮮豔可愛的擺設,看到就龍心心情大悅。在這裡不裝個可愛拍幾張剪刀手照好像對不起這麼可愛的場景。
講到這裏我又忍不住搥胸頓足,沒拍到照片真的很搥心肝哪!

I can't help to imagine that Scarlett O'Hara(Gone with the Wind)walks out from the beautiful European house.
看到這樣的房子,感覺似乎亂世佳人郝思嘉隨時都會從房子裡走出,整個思緒完全跌進古歐洲的情境中。

Here is the most beautiful riverside scenery. The village style house built at the side of water. The yacht stops by the river to create a holiday atmosphere. Such leisure landscape fully meet my imagination of perfect life. I really want to live here forever.
這裏最美的是河邊的美景,鄉村風格的房子傍水而立,垂柳飄飄,河面上點綴的遊艇營造了假日悠閒的氣氛。這樣的造景完全滿足了完美生活的想像,真想住在這裏就別走了。
(官網照片)
各個角落看出去的美景俯拾皆是。
夜景 Night
The night in Chocolate Ville is even more brilliant than the day. They are very good at using lights to create a lively atmosphere of joy, so that the night shows a completely different view from the day
巧克力鎮的夜晚比起其他時間毫不遜色,越夜越美麗。業者很擅長利用燈光來製造熱鬧歡樂的氣氛,讓這裏的夜晚呈現與白天完全不同的景致。

晚餐 Dinner
(官網照片)
The four seasons in Thailand are all hot like summer. But the temperature decreases obviously after sunset. You will feel comfortable when wind blows. It's so romantic to dine outdoor in such beautiful environment.
泰國的天氣雖然四季都炎熱如夏,但是太陽下山之後溫度顯然跟著下降,徐風吹來,在這樣的戶外美景用餐,特別浪漫。
It's not very expensive for their dishes. the standard of cooking can only be medium. But it is not necessary to have extra entrance fees for dining in such a beautiful environment, I strongly recommend to enjoy dinner here.
Let's see what kind of food they serve here.
雖然是來吃晚餐,但是來到巧克力鎮其實醉翁之意不在酒,環境對我們的吸引力比起美食顯然要遠遠大得多。不過既然是餐廳,當然還是要看看園區提供什麼美味的餐點。
巧克力鎮的消費並不會太貴,料理的水準也只能算中等。但是能夠在這麼優美的環境用餐,還不需要額外的入園費用,在這裡用餐已經不是CP值高可以形容。
這裏的餐點會定期更換菜單,以免顧客失去新鮮感而降低再度造訪的意願。所以這裡介紹的餐點僅供參考,不保證下次來還會有同樣的餐喔。

Pork ribs
The ribs are fully coated with sweet and sour sauce which tastes good. The meat is tender. No wonder It's one of the most popular cuisine here.
我們先從這裡點餐率最高的豬肋排開始介紹。這道菜我們也有點,份量不小,適合2~4人分食。豬肋排包覆著酸酸甜甜的醬,味道不錯,肉質也蠻嫩的,雖然沒有特別令人驚喜的香氣,但是有中上水準,難怪是這裡的人氣料理。
(官網照片)
Schweinshaxe
It is the most popular cuisine, too. The cripy skin looks so charming.
德國豬腳也是這裏萬年不敗的料理。這道我們那天沒有點,不過就憑著多年來沒有被替換掉,光是看到那酥脆的外皮和看來很過癮的沾醬,就可以想像出有多美味。

Steak
西式餐點自然不能少了牛排

Spaghetti
義大利麵也算是這裏很受歡迎的餐點。

Pizza
喜歡吃薄皮Pizza的捧油可以試試。

Fried Food
想要吃美式炸物,有炸雞薯條等可以滿足饕客的嘴
(官網照片)
Thai Food
也是有泰式料理可以點。不過既然都來到泰國了,想吃泰式料理的話,我寧願到比較道地的泰式餐廳去吃,不會想在這裏點泰式料理。
(官網照片)
Salad and vegetable
也有一些沙拉、炒青菜等蔬菜類料理可以選,這點無菜不歡的Teresa還挺讚賞的。

Dessert
沒有甜點活不下去的捧油不要害怕,這麼擅長經營的業者,自然不會忘記照顧女孩兒們的甜點胃。
燈塔登高 Lighthouse
You can walk around after dinner to help digesting food.
吃完飯一定要在園區走走逛逛,幫助消化剛吃進去的萬惡的美食。

You can go upstairs to the top of lighthouse so that you can obtain a bird's-eye viewof the park.
Let me show you the beautiful view.
體力好的捧油可以挑戰爬這座塔,我們一行人都是懶人,看到需要體力的活動都自動跳過。不過據說爬高塔雖然很累,但是爬上後可以鳥瞰莊園全景,還蠻值得累這一趟。
來看看在塔頂可以看到什麼景色

帶大家到莊園四處走走
優雅恬靜的鄉村小屋,隨便拍都處處是風景。

坐在小酒館外面喝酒,有置身歐洲街道的浪漫情懷。單身的朋友可以坐在這裏,想像著義大利帥哥即將來搭訕。

Taking photos of signs, telephone booths and other small details everywhere are all full of literary temperament.
就連隨處可見的招牌、電話亭等小細節,隨手拍都充滿了文青的氣質。
婚紗照 Love photos
It's a shooting spot for couples.
心型的造型,根本就是給戀人們放閃用的。可惜我們家長毛爸是無臉男,打死不肯入鏡,只好拉朋友充數相挺

It's a perfect place to take wedding pictures and holding a wedding. You can reserve the park for comercial purpose.
我覺得這裡超級適合拍攝婚紗照以及婚禮宴客,園區4點開放之前,應該就是提供這些商業攝影的預約。自己租幾套結婚禮服到那裡去拍婚紗照順便度蜜月好像是個不錯的主意? @lydiachan ,說的就是你!哈哈!
節日活動 Events
They are good at decorating and holding activities for holidays.
業者很厲害的一點就是他們很擅長利用布置來營造各種節日氣氛,也會因應節日推出各種熱鬧的活動。

跨年肯定是最歡欣鼓舞的活動,還會放煙火慶祝。好想去那裡體驗一次跨年的歡樂氣氛!
You can take taxi at the gate of the park. They list the price for many different destinations most tourists will go. So you don't have to worry to pay too much.
從巧克力鎮回到曼谷市區的交通就不必太糾結了,門口就有排班計程車等著載遊客,價錢也都已經訂好了。除非你要去的地方是上面沒有列出來的,否則就按照列出來的地點付錢,雖然好像貴了一點點,但是也不用擔心被漫天開價。
I would like to visit Chocolate Ville again. I will definitely go there at afternoon and take lots of pictures next itme.
這次去巧克力鎮雖然沒有留下太多照片,可是映入眼簾的美景已經讓我印象深刻,有機會我還想再去一次,下午就過去好好拍個過癮。

Thanks for reading.

Welcome to leave comment, upvote, resteem, and follow me.
Wow! Amazing post with so many great photos. I used to live in Thailand. I spent 5 years in Bangkok and never heard about this place. It looks like a great day out, but I have one question. Surely $350 for the taxi is a mistake? It should never cost that much in Thailand for even much longer journeys. Thanks for posting, I follow you and you may wish to follow me back as I write about Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia every day. Up-voted this post!
I am glad you like it. $350 is include the highway fee. We paid it by meter. Maybe because the driver didn't know the place, so he drove the wrong way? He finally arrived there because he called the restaurant twice.
好多图片,眼花缭乱。你的表情包是亮点啊。
就是怕會眼花撩亂,所以用大標題分類了。
這麼多圖片,還是會注意到表情包嗎?呵呵
very good post..thank you for informations about thailand
I am glad you like my post.
