I arrived for a day trip to the Roman Catholic Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception is the seat for the diocese Chanthaburi. It was the Marián triduum conclusión and was able to join the Mass and procession heading by the local bishop. It’s rather impressive structure and the stained glass windows are stunning. To the left is a sand painting of Divine Mercy and to the right is an made of similar material of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. The most impressive part for me was to venerate the bejeweled state of Mary. Though in the middle of a global pandemic of Covid people still were touching the statue. I highly recommended people to visit to this architectural beauty and after can cross the bridge and stroll the walking culture street to browse the cafes and shops along the river banks.

This place is not like many others I have been to in Thailand where they just pile down tonnes of ugly concrete. This oen is really well landscaped with nice red stone and slate looking stone floors and walkways. Really well designed huts for info, public restrooms and cafes also that blend into the surroundings. We even took the 1.2km nature trail, which I have to say was very challenging on an energetic level.

Take a walk through unique mangrove forest on a wooden footbridge, easy to walk and well maintained. Entrance is free. It is surprisingly clean so tourists seem to respect this ecosystem. Signboards help you to orientate and give informations about the fauna. It is a round trip and on your way you pass a observation tower which is located at seaside. You have a wonderful view on the bay and its surrounding mangrove forest. Near this tower you also find kajaks stationed which offer trips to the seaside. We did not do that this day as a very cold wind was blowing. Not many parking lots, better come during the week, weekends and hollidays it may be crowded. Good to combine with a visit to nearby located "sea farming demonstration unit".

The Chanthaburi Oldtown across the river from the Cathedral of Immaculate Conception in Chanthaburi is another must visit for your trip here. A small maybe 500m x 1000m area of old houses and community, dotted with homestays and hotels, cafes, bakeries and coffeeshops as well as actual live in homes of the local community. Loved the old architecture, easy going streets and amazing food found in this waterfront area. Only wished there are more bridges around the area so you can hop forth and back to take better photos.

We visited this park on a Monday, so it was really quiet and peaceful. There is plenty of parking and good toilet and shower facilities. We were really impressed by the efforts at conservation and recycling. You may take water with you on the hike to the waterfall, but no food. This is to reduce the litter left in the park, so be prepared to either eat before you start hiking, or to check your food in at the kiosk. We visited in the dry season, and imagine that in the wet season this would be quite spectacular, though not without risk. After the first pool the hike is rocky and steep, you will need sturdy footwear and a good level of fitness. At level 3 you can have a swim to cool off. Don’t be deterred by the brown carp, they are friendly but swim away from you when you enter the water.
