Bangkok Language and Cultural Adventures

Hidden deep within the forests of Saraburi/Khao Yai lies a little-known cave, tucked among rugged limestone hills and dense jungle. At first glance, it appears like any other cavern—but step closer and its dramatic rock formation reveals a striking silhouette, uncannily resembling the head of a T-Rex or the flowing form of a mythical Naga.

For this car pooling trip to Saraburi/Khao Yai (2 hours drive from Bangkok), our vehicle is already half filled with friends and looking for more positive vibes friends. First we go exploring a cave, then dipping our feet in a natural spring pool in a forest (literally Shinrin-yoku or forest bathing), then we go to a farmers' market for local (mostly organic) produce, then have a meal at a local riverside restaurant, followed by visits to picturesque farms (mango/flower farms) and cafes. Detox is our overall theme ;)

Schedule:
7am: We will depart in an air-conditioned luxury van or sedan car from pickup point near Asok, Ploenchit or Nana BTS (depending on number of persons).
9am: Arrive at cave - explore the beautiful cave which will take about 20 minutes to walk up (it's a good and short exercise!)
10.30am: Leave for natural spring pool
11.30am: Reach natural spring pool where you can either swim or kayak in clean spring waters. (If you want to swim, please bring swimming attire, change of clothes, and big smile – we gonna have fun. For those who like, we can also arrange underwater photography/videography for you!)
12.30-12.45pm: Leave for a local riverside restaurant, which serves really good Thai & fusion food in a peaceful setting.
1pm: Lunch
1.45pm: We will stop by for coffee at nearby cafes. There is plenty to choose from, with beautiful views of Khao Yai’s scenery. We will choose 2 or 3 among the following: flowers farm, mango farm, a capybara 'onsen' (admission fee applies) etc.
At around 4pm or later, we will head back to Bangkok in the afternoon and expect to reach by 6.30pm or later.

For this car pooling trip to a province outside Bangkok (2.5 hours drive), we go swimming in a secret beach in Chonburi.
Crystal clear water, white powdery sand.... And no hordes of tourists like in Pattaya ! We will also visit a magical indoor tulip garden with thousands of flowers grown at 15'c (think of this as Little Netherlands with thousands of blooming tulips, hydrangeas and many more! Bring your coat if 15'c is cold for you ;) We will also visit nearby nature cafes !
