Thread: Sappraiwan Park - Phitsanulok

The resort offers all of the normal amenities such as restaurant/bar/karaoke, pool, sauna, fitness room, snooker, cycling/jogging and rafting.

Stock photo again due to no one rafting that day.


Now, since this is promoted as an elephant park, we cannot forget them.


There are also reminders of elephants everywhere. Statues exist all over their grounds, with many figures in and around the lobby and other clubhouse rooms.

Looking out at the grounds from the restaurant.



More to come....

There are two different accommodation styles - the free standing chalet, or a lodge having attached rooms, like the one we stayed in.


One of five similar lodges.



Koi pond outside the door.

No, this is not the swimming pool!


One of many available chalets.



The managers thought of nearly everything to assure your comfort by placing this device outside every door for your safety.



And the sign reads...

Where's the picture of Thai Wife chasing away your trouser snake, George?

^ Since you asked, here:





She doesn't need to use physical means to deter that kind of serpent. She uses the effective psychological method called - HEADACHE!

Also, the mother-in-law was with us on the trip.

I rode my motorcucle past this place a last week. The section of Highway 12 between Phitsanulok-Lomsak has many spectacular scenic viewpoints and winds up and over the mountains making any keen motorist's heart race with some fantastic bends and curves.

I agree about the views from the winding road. I usually love driving these twisting and turning roads, but being stuck behind lorries, wandering all over the road at 15 km/h, it ain't that much fun.
(cough hack wheeze hawk )

The lodge room was quite large and comfortable. At the back of the room, opposite the front entrance, was a patio overlooking the landscaped property.


The main room with two beds.

The mother-in-law thought the alcove next to the patio doors was a big waste of space. I kind of liked the bouquet touch, and thought it added to the ambiance. By the way, is that a body in the foreground bed?


There was a large closet, to include a secure place for valuables - if you have any.

Is there someone summoning me to bed, as reflected in the mirror? Could this be a serendipitous event, meaning the headache has subsided?


Now considering DD, here's a photo of the most important room.

You must notice two of the most important things in the bathroom, at least for me being from the West. There are two - count them - two rolls of toilet tissue, at the ready. Next, since my teeth are already chipped and decayed, there's a bottle cap opener. How much better can you get than that?
