snoop1130 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Tourists return to holiday destinations this long weekend BANGKOK (NNT) - The special 4-day weekend has started, with natural tourism attractions across the country filling up with visitors coming to enjoy fresh air and cool breezes. Temples and attractions in the northeastern Nong Khai province have started to welcome visitors arriving for the long weekend. Highlights of this Thailand-Laos border province include Phra That Klang Nam stupa in the middle of the Mekong river. The low water level today allowed the stupa to emerge and appear at a hight of two meters. Visitors can also see a replica of the stupa on the bank, located adjacent to the one in the river. Up on the mountain, the Sky Walk observation terrace in Nong Khai has been popular with the public coming to see the bird’s-eye view of the Mekong River, a natural border between Thailand and Laos. The scenery here is even more picturesque in the morning with a regular sea of fog, although the fog was not so dense this morning. In the eastern region, islands such as Ko Chon Salat or Ko Kwang in Chanthaburi is now ready to welcome visitors with clear sea water and remarkable vistas. This is a small island that is a 10-minute boat ride away from Ao Long on the mainland. The island is a nice kayaking spot with small beaches surrounding it, and is a perfect place to watch the sunset. In Kanchanaburi in the west, Thongphaphum National Park has reopened Khao Chang Pueak mountain for trekking after a seasonal closure for natural resource recovery. National park chief Charoen Jaichon said today that related agencies, villagers, and bag carriers are now ready to welcome adventurers back to naturally stunning Khao Chang Pueak once again. The number of visitors to Khao Chang Pueak will be limited to 60 persons per day, from 24th November 2020 to 31st January 2021. National park rangers will accompany the visitors throughout their visit, with one ranger per 12 visitors. -- © Copyright NNT 2020-11-19 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holidays are always best of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are entering/in high season for Thai tourists to the mountain areas to partake of mists in the morning (not smog), cool evenings and cold mornings. Can recommend it for a change to the usual city life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The private sector is not required to conform which the banks served. BOT regulates bank holidays differ slightly from those observed by the government.
