In the so called “Buddhist Learning Garden” life sized statues illustrate Buddha’s life and the story of Ramayana. We will cross the river and follow the river Yom to the north again. The bicycle ride will be pleasant with much greenery due to the proximity of the river. We will cycle past various fruit orchards, rice and tobacco fields and many others things.

After lunch we will transfer you by car for half an hour to skip the busy road and to bring you to a point from where we will cycle through an attractive landscape to Thung Saliem where we stay for the night. We have rented a nice bungalow made from authentic Thai teak wood.
