After 20 minutes of driving, we reached Sampaothai. "Sampaothai" is viewpoint and home stay in more than 10 acres of rice field and organic vegetables farm.
Prior enter to Sampaothai, there are some stalls both side on the way to the entrance selling various of things from handicrafts, fruits, and foods.
We need to pay certain fees to enter into Sampaothai. There are a lot of places that worth for taking photos.
Sampaothai is actually a homestay but the owner of the place took it one more step further to make it become a tourist attraction.
There are colourful Thailand map which indicate where Phatthalung is, made by lots of colourful Legos shorts of bricks.
There is a fish pond just beside the cafeteria area which is surrounded by greenery and trees.
An Orang Utan sculpture sitting at a bench, waiting people to sit together with it and have a free kiss!
There are a lot of fun and things which one can do here.
“Sampao” is ancient Thai word which means “cargo vessel”. It is very huge and had beautiful design.
“Sampaothai” is the ancient cargo vessel of Thailand that was normally used for the delivery of various shipments from one place to another.
Giant King Kong is one of popular characters that most people (including me) love. Especially children, they would enjoy this giant King Kong, for sure.
It is very creative idea that the owner of this place created both huge “Sampao” and the popular giant King Kong standing among the green rice field.
The giant King Kong is trying to drag the huge Sampao. This Sampao was made of woods and the King Kong was made of straws.
Alvin, Issac and Annabelle climbed up the giant King Kong to see beautiful view of the green rice field from high and the wonderful mountains at the background.
Apart from enjoying the two amazing things, we walked along the wooden bridge and surrounding the rice green field and nature closely.
It is certainly relaxing and peaceful moment…but the weather is really hot and we were tanning under the hot sun!
There are wooden houses with Thai style, I believe the homestay here can be rent for a stay and to experience the life and culture of Phatthalung province.
We spend roughly nearly 45 minutes here, after which it is time for us to check in to our hotel.
