Pak Chong

Pak Chong, a typical Thai town, has places of interest in its vicinity. If you come from Bangkok on Hwy 2, the turn off to Khao Yai is to the right while Pak Chong is to the left.

Holiday Park Resort with charming garden landscape & scenic backdrop
















Vineyards are around too! Or did I get it wrong? Sign post read "Grapery"!







There are many holiday homes in the area but this Thai design is most impressive.














The lake north of Pak Chong along Hwy 2, with a public park. Saw locals dived to spear carps with home made spear guns!
















Sun set by the lake..
















Dozens of restaurants along lake shore, salt coated grilled fish are fresh & irresistible! Coke & Pepsi are in super large glass bottles!





















Thong Somboon Club, a leisure park little south of the town, provides Thais a taste of cowboy lifestyle.
































Served by cowgirls...





















& cowboys of course!





















School children heading home! Guess how many in there?





















Transporting Buddha, covered in robes, along Hwy 2 & doing 100kmph photographing with eyes off the road! Buddhas has to jam pack like humans too!
