Big Round Things: Lemon Farm, Ostrich Café & the Best of Ratchaburi

Set against wide mountain views, we will visit a wild ostrich cafe and also Samnaksong Huai Nam Sai Charoentham, which is a Buddhist temple modelled after Myanmar’s Kyaiktiyo Pagoda (Golden Rock), and a cute lemon farm. For this car pooling trip to Ratchaburi (2 hours drive from Bangkok), our vehicle is already half-filled with friends and looking for more positive vibes friends ! As it is the countryside, there is so much of natural and cultural things to explore here !
