Ratchaburi: Exciting Trip to Ban Pong
Exciting Trip to Ban Pong http://www.hotsia.com > Ratchaburi > Exciting Trip to Ban Pong Other trips of mine in Ratchaburi include Suan Phueng, Ban Pong, Damnoen Saduak, Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, delicious food in Ban Pong, riverside homestays by the Mae Klong River. Mr.Hotsia recommends discounted hotels in Ratchaburi. Ban Pong district in Ratchaburi province is crossed by the Mae Klong River. It is a Chinese riverside community. There are also Mon people living along the Mae Klong River in Ban Pong.
In Ban Pong town, I consider it one of the capitals of delicious food. There are many food options along the streets. Traditional Chinese-style food is still sold today. Hainanese chicken rice, noodles, and Ban Pong Chinese-style dishes are all delicious. I don't want people to overlook Ban Pong or just drive through. I want them to stop and enjoy the tasty food here. The Mae Klong River flows through Ban Pong town, with a riverside shrine and the Ban Pong morning market nearby. I wake up early to walk through the Ban Pong market.
It's an activity I never miss in any city, whether in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, or Vietnam—walking through the markets. Ban Pong market has plenty of seafood and food. On the day I visited, it rained a bit, so I couldn't take many photos. The Mae Klong River flows south after passing Ban Pong. Not far away, there is a traditional Thai-style riverside homestay called Khum Thanthima, owned by P' Nok Supharerk, an AirAsia pilot. I stayed there, and the atmosphere was wonderful by the water. The house is an old Thai-style wooden house with antiques.
It's incredible that someone thought to preserve a truly old house right by the river in such an ancient style. If you want to stay close to nature by the river, the Thai-style house in the Mon village, Khum Thanthima, is the place to choose. Contact Khun Pee at 081-6992515. When I stayed, I stayed at Kasemsuk Hotel in Ban Pong for just a few hundred baht per night. It had air conditioning, hot water, fast wifi, and was located in the town center. This is the only hotel I saw, next to Ban Pong Hospital, making it easy to find food nearby.
If you stay at a hotel outside the city, like Thai Nam, it's good and affordable, suitable for those with a car because walking to find food in town is a bit far, about 1 kilometer. What impressed me most about Ban Pong is the abundance of food. I want to stay several days to try all the recommended restaurants. Next time, I will come back to eat again and again in Ban Pong.
