Overview
Witnessing over a hundred thousand of the natural fireflies at the Phrom Yothi Military barrack, they only open for the tourist to visit 6 weeks a year. It is not a mass touristy spot, and the fireflies are all-natural and pure.
We are going to camp at the campsite nearby where we can visit the waterfall and enjoy ourselves in the natural environment. This campsite is known for Thai as the city forest. The next morning, we are going to visit the Pha Hin Son viewpoint, before heading back to Bangkok, we are going to stop to visit a 200 years old ruined Banyan Tree Chapel, the ruin was found in 2014, and it has 4 banyan trees at each corner to balance and keep the chapel from tumbledown. We are going to end our trip at Montreux Cafe And Farm, it’s a cafe and farm, in there, we can visit the replica of farming, you can do the farming activities such as rice transplant in the paddy field, roll the boat, farming the herb and preserve the salted egg etc.
