Route 12 Coffee Shop

"Route 12, Teacher" my students would exclaim every time i mention Khao Khor as one of the places I have been. It sounds so popular that a mere mention of the famous district would somehow mean Route 12 as well.

One of the things that can surely attract passers by is the Route 12 Coffee Shop. It looks like a Western diner with a petrol station outside. Once you step in you will hear country music being played in the background. A kind of like being in the Wild West just like the American movies.

The shop looks like nothing but a shop alone. Fact of the matter is, the shop has a restaurant, scenic spots, souvenir shop, and a few guestrooms for the tired souls who wish to rest for the night. 

Route 12 is a good stop during long trips. I probably stop if ever I come back or pass through it again.

Flag Pole Cliff

It was in August when we first came to Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park. Since it was just an ocular inspection for the P'lok Pinoyz Spiritual Survival Camp, we haven't gone to its many captivating attractions. Fortunately, the officers of P'lok Pinoyz (Filipinos in Phitsanulok) decided to have it there. 

With the many beautiful spots in the park, the Flag Pole Cliff is one of my favorite. With a panoramic view and white clouds up above, standing on top of the cliff was heaven. It was such an amazing experience!

If you are into taking photos and exploring steep mountain terrain and natural beauty of a place,  Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park sounds a perfect fit. I recommend you this park as it left us good memories to reminisce.

A Night with the Roses

One night, as I was sitting outside the gate playing with my shi-tzu puppy Jasmine, I heard a buzzing bee. I searched for it and so did she. The sun completely turned its back and so the bee made a perfect camouflaged. 

We failed to locate the exact spot of the bee. However, because the buzzing seemed very near, and the only possible location will be at the garden nearby, we checked it out.

These are the things that greeted us. I have seen these blooming roses in the mini garden outside my abode but i seldom visit nor even come near them. Sad part is, i never appreciated their beauty. It's like Wordsworth "I wandered lonely as a cloud" thingie. But not anymore. Look how beautiful they are. Can't help but take shots!
