Drier destinations

A tethered balloon ride with an opportunity for fishing is featured for the first time as part of Phetchaburi’s grand annual event, the Kang Krachan Festival. At a height of 50 metres, passengers get to take in the sophisticated sights of Kang Krachan dam’s calm water and its mountain-range backdrop of Kang Krachan national park.

A young couple make a sheep-shaped candle at candle art house Ban Hom Tien’s DIY workshop. With more than 32,000m2 dedicated to the art of candle making and promotion of self-sufficiency, Ban Hom Tien has attracted a lot of young families and hip visitors to Suan Phung District.

Incredibly wrecked roads to the peak of Khao Krajome Mountain add charm to a sunrisehunting journey. These deep sinkholes offer an exhilarating road test for four-wheel-drive vehicles. Owners of other vehicles will need the services of professional local drivers.

Because ‘Every home is a gallery. Everywhere is an art space’, this freshly primed dam wall is being given a new artistic meaning together with more than 50 other amenities in Ratchaburi. The ‘ART Normal’ event will transform Muang Ratchaburi into a 430km2 art space, bringing art to people’s everyday surroundings such as a noodle store and a public bus.

Afraid of his hand getting nibbled off with the Napier grass, this little boy still tries his best to get a grip and finish the business of feeding the evermunching sheep encircling him. Sheep have successfully been made the mascot of Suan Phung District for more than five years.
