Khao Yai - Chocolate Factory, Birder's Lodge Cafe, The Bloom, PB Valley, Pak Chong Night market, Botanica Khao Yai

Hello readers! This will be our third day in Khao yai, also the last night before we will returned to Bangkok the next day.

Today itinerary : Chocolate Factory, Lunch @ Birder's lodge cafe, The Bloom, PB Valley, Pak Chong Night market.
Accommodation of the night : Botanica Khao Yai

I plan to visit chocolate factory the last day of our khao yai trip because the items sold usually can't keep for too long so visiting it last day will ensure the foods we buy will still last longer when we returned back to Singapore.








As the name suggest, chocolate factory, they sell a variety of chocolates, biscuits, cookies and their best seller biscuit is so addictive! We bought quite alot to give to our friends and bought the bite size pieces to eat.

I choose all the different flavour chocolate for this, and every single one is so good!
This chocolate cake is the bomb too, its rich chocolate will melt in your mouth.
So so good!


After eating a chocolate cake at the chocolate factory and buying what we want, we went to birder's lodge cafe for our lunch.

The cafe itself has many instagrammable places to take so it get crowded.











After that, as we skipped Scenical world, so the driver suggested going The Bloom.
However, i feel if you have visited Saraburi sunflower,or Jim thompson farm you can skip visiting this place because if you have checked out the two places, this place has nothing much.


 There were nothing much inside, we bought the tickets with foods and drinks provided and it was a small tour within the area.













 The cakes were not very nice, drinks were too sweet.


We didn't stayed long before we went to PB Valley! As we were walking in, I was excited to check out this rocking horse. 



We had fun playing when we heard the ringing of bell and started seeing many of the visitors getting on the shuttle ride so we went to check it out, and i think we were lucky because it was their last tour of PB valley of the day and we went to the ticketing booth and they allowed us to purchase the tickets, so we were the last to board before each shuttle bus move off one by one. 
The ticket included wine tasting.
They started the tour by introducing us the equipment they use to store beer etc, but obviously i think manay were interested in the wine tasting. Hahahaha





After the introduction and understanding the beer fermentation process and so on, we were directed to the place where they offered wine tasting pairing with cheese and biscuit!



 We were allowed to try 4 different type of wines, however as Jeremy and I don't really drink so we didn't purchase their wine.



 Enjoying the breeze as we sit on the bus ready to go back.




After the tour, we left PB valley and headed to Pak chong night market, the day was still bright when we leave but the journey to the night market seems long because it was dark by the time we reached. Hahaha. We decided to buy back because they have no sitting area at the night market. Usually the locals visit to buy foods for their dinner and i thought it was a good experience especially its so cheap!






After that, the driver dropped us at our accommodation for the night, which is the Botanica Khao Yai.
It was dark already and we regretting not coming in early because it was so much nicer than my ozone! In fact, actually i wanted to book this 2 nights but they were fully booked so i could only book for 1 night. The staff bring us to their carpark to take their buggy to our block.

The atmosphere was good after we take a stroll around the hotel.





We were so glad with our room when we enter, it was so big! Hahaha and this is only their smallest room out of the other room type.



 They have a big balcony outside.

 I love their bathroom too! The size is awesome!

 There is another door that you can open that leads you to the balcony.
At the balcony area, they have this bathtub too!








Part of the foods that we brought back, haha the pork sausage is good!

 Anyway after the nightmare of staying in ozone, this hotel stay is so much better. Haha it's a pity we only stay for a night.

The view from our room the next morning! Nice refreshing breeze.






Their breakfast was good too! We had our breakfast before checking out their gym, pool etc.
















Shall end this post for now.
Till then!
