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.

3. 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.

I’ve come here once a year for more than 15 years. We dropped by to have lunch and buy some wines and home made stuff. I love their white wine particularly Busaba and Sakuna. The red wine such as Asoke is also good but the price is now too high. My wife and I also love their grape juice. I dare say that you cannot buy such high quality grape juice from anywhere else.

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.
