Wang Nam Kiaw -  Lake of green Water

This is the name of a scenic area with moderate climate, 80 km to the south of Nakorn Ratchasima (Khorat), the gate to Isan, as the Northeast of Thailand is called. Located near to the beautiful National Park Khao Yai at the West side and the National Park Tublan at the East side, Wang Nam Kiaw is embedded in a green mountenous area (up to 992 m, Mount Khao Lamang) with forests, waterfalls and wild animals.

At these Internet pages we describe the homestay and we offer a page, where bookings of guest rooms and tents could be performed.

Location of the Homestay

The homestay is embedded into the landscape at the edge of the municipality Thai Samakki in the district Wang Nam Kiaw. It can be reached from Bangkok (~200 km) over Chachoengsao and Kabinburi through a 4-lane road. Only at the route Kabinburi to Wang Nam Kiaw exist 2 sections, which provide only 2 lanes. Further, Wang Nam Kiaw can also be reached from Bangkok over Rangsit, Saraburi, Nakorn Ratchasima, continuing over the National Road 304 (~250 km total distance). Here is the entire distance at minimum a 4-lane road. The last 6 km from the 304 up to the municipality buildung Thai Samakki have recently got a new blacktop and the last 3 km are partly a concrete road.

Day Trips:
A day trip target in the vicinity is the National Park Tublan. The elevated lookout point Pha Gaeb Tawan allows an incredible view over the landscape of the National Park. Tublan is with an area of 2,240 sqkm the second largest National Park of Thailand. It contains nice scenery of Ton Lan Palm Groves. This up to 20 m tall type of Fan Palm disappeared in general from Thailand and grows mainly in this National Park. The palms die after their marvellous blossom, which appears after about 60 years of age.

A second day trip target could be Ban Bu Sai, Ban Suksomboon. This is a farm that grows Chinese Shiitake edible mushrooms. At the integrated knowledge center the cultivation of these mushrooms will be explained. The farm sells Shiitake mushrooms to the visitors.

Further the environment research project Sakaerat can be visited. There the visitors get the impressive feeling, to experience nature instantaneous. There are many species of exotic animals like the Black Giant Squirrel, Green Peafowl, Tigers, and Butterflies.
430 different animal and bird species have been counted in this park.
