Song Kran festival is a name of Thai new year. This trip is backpack trip to Phetchabun 3 days 2 nights. Phetchabun is the province at the middle of Thailand. Kao Koh is the district in Phetchabun or the place that they call Switzerland of Thailand.
I go to Phetchabun by bus from Mochit 2 and take about 5 hours to reach Phetchabun. In the first night I call the cab to go to Srivara place, Srivara place is a good hotel for backpacker. At night I go to have dinner at night market there are so many food to eat.
In the second day, I have breakfast at Jae Kae kaw mun kai tod (rice steamed with chicken soup) this is the most delicious in Phetchabun next to Jae Kae is the Jae Noi kaw kha moo (fresh ham on rice). These are the restaurant that you have to go before noon because it will sold out before noon. At 10.00 am I go to Kaw Pod road for the water war. At 16.00 pm I take two row seat bus to go to Kao Koh. It take about 1 hour to reach Kao Koh. A slogan of this district is "rest in Kao Koh 1 night extent life 1 year". I rent the tent from I love KaoKoh resort and spend all night at Kao Koh.
The last day, I go to travel around Kao Koh. A good place to visit is the Kao Koh monument and Kek Noi village. I spend all the morning to travel and go to take the bus to go back to Bangkok.
