1. Phimai Historical Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 572 reviews
This 12th-century temple is similar in structure to Angkor Wat.
Reviewed By jelinicivana - London, United Kingdom
Not as big as Ayutthaya or Sukhotai, but well worth a visit. The temple is just stunning! Phimai was an outpost of the Khmer empire and that is why the temple was built in Khmer architecture. Also, I learned there that Angkor Wat was inspired by this temple in Phimai! How very cool! Recommend visiting at any time, especially in the late afternoon as there are fewer tourists. Also, worth stopping and having a walk around Phimai, it is rather cute itself.
2. Jim Thompson Farm

A must visit place if you are in the region in December. This is a large farm, with plenty of beautiful scenery for your Instagram or Facebook. Plan for 1 full day here as there are so much to see and take photos. We came slightly before lunch and didn't have enough time to fully explore this place. Plenty of local food choices are available at the entrance if you are hungry. There are also plenty of regular free shuttle buses that will take you to various stations or you can try to walk from area to area. This is definitely a fun place to visit for everyone.

4. Haew Narok Waterfall
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 99 reviews
Reviewed By Raintree_Thailand - Bangkok, Thailand
Haew Narok Waterfall is hugely impressive -- IF you visit in rainy season! The amount of water thundering over the rocks is incredible and the drop is high enough to be very memorable. But a few warnings: 1. In dry season, the "falls" reduce to a trickle and there is really no reason to bother hiking to them. 2. The 1-kilometer trail going to the upper point of the falls is paved and very easy walking, but you don't see any part of the falls from the upper drop point. 3. The only way to actually see the falls is to climb down the steep steps (100+) to the view points below the falls. Some visitors who not in shape or who are concerned by steep steps, may find the climb down and back up to be more than they want to bite off, but the climb should be manageable for most people. The stairs are solid concrete and there are good handrails. 4. In rainy season, the mist from the falls is heavy and you will get a bit wet, with glasses, phones and cameras at risk of being soaked. 5. Rainy season is the time for leaches and, allow the park staff keep the trail swept pretty clean, you may encounter leaches now and then. Watch out for them and try to brush off before they start their lunch.

Impressive sunflowers You do need to do a bit of research via their website (FB page -google translate) to see when is the flowers full bloom Think they plant 2 times around Nov - Feb . When we were there , our driver told us a plot of withered fields was for the sunflower exhibition in Dec . And the one we visited was on the other side of the land . We came during the bloom peak and from a distance the yellow flower was glaringly bright . There is an entrance fee of 80 baht/pax . Some stalls selling products like sunflower seeds / drinks etc . At the flower fields , there are a few props for your photo shoot . Remember to climb up the higher platforms to take an overview of the place . Wear your sun protection as it gets very hot on a cloudless day

What we love here is the kids gets to feed the farm animals such as sheeps, cows, pony at the open farm once we get down from the car park. Walk around, there's some shop, souvenir, restaurant, cafe & remember to chill with their fresh milk ice-cream. Walk further up abit towards the museum, there's an elephant where you can feed them too. Some rabbits & goats nearby as well. All these are free entrance. We didn't went to the area where tickets are needed.

10. Pak Chong market
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By mayerchan - Singapore, Singapore
Good place to mingle, see and indulge in local street foods, ranging from fried foods like corn fritters and chicken to zhi char style foods like pad Thai. Some stalls sell second hand clothing while others appear to be newer. The downside is the difficulty to find parking so you may have to park further and walk towards the market, which is fine since you’ll be eating so much that you’ll need the exercise anyway.
