Day Trip to Chai Badan, Lopburi Province

Upon arriving at the waterfall, it was quite a sight to see the numbers of people swarming around the area. There must have been hundreds of families with kids climbing over every available space. Since this was a holiday it might have been even busier than usual. I kidded my wife that now I know where all the little monkeys in Lopburi go on a holiday. All locals and not another farang in sight.

This is the river just above the falls.

Here are the falls. Not a huge cascade, but a gentle stepped arrangement, just right for the kids to clamber all over and have fun.

There are many food vendors to choose from along with shops selling tourist items for the Thai visitors. We chose a restaurant overlooking the river and had a nice lunch of grilled chicken, som tam and sticky rice.

After lunch we walked across a suspension bridge strung across the river.

A view of the river below the suspension bridge. A little difficult to see as there was so much lush vegetation.

Some of the statues in the gardens.

A view of the countryside as we headed back towards Lam Narai.

Since I am a rail fan, I made sure we stopped by the Lam Narai train station.

As luck would have it, we got to see two trains; a Bangkok bound passenger train, and a freight loaded with concrete sleepers headed towards Korat.

Heading back down highway 2321 towards Sa Bot.

Here we came across a herd of cattle strolling down the highway.
