Sriracha and Koh Sichang

-

Cape+Kantary is a magazine that you will find in all the Cape and Kantary Properties - https://www.capekantaryhotels.com. 

 In this edition - https://www.capekantaryhotels.com/ckmagazine/Issue16/index.html - (Pages 74-77) one writer visited Kantary Bay in Sriracha and took a trip. Original words by Jim Algie.

Sriracha – “Only a two hour journey from Bangkok, in an area free of the usual tourist hordes, the Eastern seaboard beckons with outdoor adventures, picturesque islands, sites of spiritual significance and great food.”

This was their trip

Breakfast at Kantary Bay Sriracha - https://www.kantarycollection.com/kantarybay-sriracha/.

Khao Kheow Open Zoo - https://goo.gl/maps/tqjTbRTxSU32 - where the animals are in areas which are spacious and accommodating, ample photo opportunities – we did not try the Flying Fox - https://goo.gl/maps/BFfjTzhe1B72 - this time but maybe next time?

Take a lunch break in Sriracha – try the chicken roasted in earthenware jugs (gai op ong), usually found hanging by the side of the road, don’t forget the papaya salad and sticky rice!


  Take a trip to Koh Sichang – just 40 minutes on the local ferry, followed by a tour of the island (try the 3-wheeled samlor – which is called a ‘Skylab’)

 Then a coffee and a cake at the Somewhere Hotel - https://somewherehotel.com


 Then a visit to the waterfront – the Asdang Pier - http://phrachudadhuj.com/chudad11.htm -  and the Health Park - https://goo.gl/maps/qJKJdrsHguj

 Then it was time to return and have dinner at Le Marin Mediterranean Restaurant - https://caperacha.com/lemarin.php.

Each week we post a link to an article in Bangkok 101 - and the article today is about ‘ The Island of Artisans ’ -  “Visiting the urban oasis of Koh Kret is like taking a step back in time”  – original words by Bruce Scott. A little north of Bangkok is the island of Koh Kret. Interestingly it w as not originally an isl and but in 1722 King Taisra dug a canal so that the boats would not have to follow the meandering Chao Phraya river. This canal gradually got bigger and became a river – Lat Klet. And visiting the island you may think that this was the last time that there was modernization here. After arriving on a small ferry from Pak Kret and the lovely Buddhist Temple of Wat Sanam Nuea it is simple to rent a bicycle and cycle around the island – here’s a route -  http://bit.ly/2wNx6Nr .

At Cape and Kantary Hotels, we actively support  #SOSChildrensVillages and w e do not serve foie gras, birds’ nest orshark’s fin in our restaurants and we also stand firmly ag...
