Kanchanaburi

A morning market which quite a lot of interesting local food and snacks, mostly locals. The roadside stalls closed by 9AM. I love visiting the local market and trying local delicacies.

A cafe which offer a great view of the Tiger Cave Temple from a paddy field, with many outdoor seatings to chill. Nice cakes, coffee and meal, at affordable prices. Spend at least 1-2h to chill and take photos.

To explore this temple involved a lot of stairs hiking, but it is quite rewarding as well. There is already a temple compound at the foothill. Up the stairs and you will meet with a dragon, and enter a dragon. There is a temple mid hill which offer a great view of the surroundings. You can enter a cave which host a large golden Buddha. Continue going up from the cave will lead to a golden Stupa at the top, an amazing place to chill and take on the positive energy of the temple.

This is the Khachanaburi SkyWalk, and also the Night Market / Walking Street on Saturday. Go during sunset on Saturday, you get the day view, night view and an excellent best night market experience in whole of Thailand. Plenty of street food stalls next to a park, where you can have a picnic to enjoy your meal (or even rent a picnic table and mat). The park is filled with lively activities: concert, skateboard, dancing, children playground, picnic, etc.

Feels like a very interesting safari experience with all the big cats: tiger, lion, puma and leopard. Buy some carrots before boarding the bus to feed the deers and giraffes. The highlight is actually the Giraffe Encounter: 1000B per person, you sit on a jeep while feeding giraffes and zebras. You need to book online probably weeks ahead, or you try your luck on the spot. Watch our YouTube Shorts or TikTok for the Giraffes Encounter experience.

A simple cafe with nice dessert and coffee.

A very famous cafe, connected to 2 other equally famous restaurants (probably same owner). The cafe is big and beautiful, with some cactus. Food wise is expensive and average. The main attractions is their big garden with lake and mountain view. A photogenic tree, and a Japanese bamboo walkway (really nice at night). Come before sunset, so you can enjoy the beauty of the park at daytime and nighttime.
