Ban Na, Thailand: Unspoiled Nature’s Paradise
There is a hidden gem located in the province of Nakhon Nayok, Thailand. It is the little district called Ban Na, Thailand. Flying to Thailand through Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok Airport), skip the city crowd and take a drive to Nakhon Nayok City. From this point, arrange for private transport to Ban Na.
Best Time to Visit
Ban na has pleasantly warm weather all year round. You can make the most of the sunshine if you avoid the rainy season which is September to October. Although some people prefer the rainy season to keep cool - in Thailand, it could get warm and humid during summer. As in all parts of Thailand, Songkran Festival is held every second week of April. Be prepared to have lots of Thai people welcome you to their homes, even if you are just an acquaintance. Warning though, you will get soaked as Songkran is a water-throwing festival. For the best Ban Na, Thailand hotel deals, visit in the off season months.
What to Do & Area Attractions
As soon as you enter the district proper, ask around for tours to the Ka Ang Waterfall. This small, gushing body of water flows through a forest and a rock beach. There is a temple nearby called Sraka-ang where the figure of Buddha inspires quiet contemplation. For the adventurous, take a mountain hike through lush vegetation. Have a chance to spot local wildlife such as deer, wild boar, and civet cats. Expect hotels to have basic amenities. Because this is not a city, internet connection may be unreliable. The most convenient places to stay with reliable electricity supply are the comfy North Hotel, the nearby Loft Village Nakhon Nayok and the I Din Lake View Resort Nakhon Nayok.
