First time taking my dad and mom to pay respects to Luang Pho Kuay at Wat Khositaram.

Luang Pho Kuay is especially well known for blessings related to work, good fortune, and charm.

One blessing he often gave to his disciples was:

“May all my disciples never go hungry, never be in need, never struggle, never be poor, never be beneath others, and never have less than anyone else.”

I actually didn’t know much about Luang Pho Kuay before. My dad was the one who told me about him. So I was really happy to finally have the chance to come here and pay my respects.

I visited on August 15, and I really hope the wish I made comes true. 🙏

Getting here from Bangkok takes a while — almost 3 hours by car. But the drive is easy. The roads are quite clear and there isn’t much traffic. My route went from Bangkok through Ayutthaya, Ang Thong, Sing Buri, and finally into Chai Nat.

I brought my parents to Chai Nat to visit a temple, so we stopped for an early lunch before heading to the temple.

We ate at Paiboon Kai Yang, a famous local restaurant — and it’s huge!

The food was pretty good overall. Their signature grilled chicken was delicious, especially the crispy skin. The flavor is a little different from regular Thai grilled chicken, with a noticeable mix of spices.

The crispy pork was really good too — crispy on the outside, but still tender and not hard at all.

Do You Have One Yet?

This is the Thai inhaler with the most unique design I’ve seen so far, and you can customize pretty much everything.

The design is inspired by the Ramakien, featuring Hanuman and Thotsakan.

My No. 1 Pizza in Bangkok for 5 Years 🍕

The best pizza I’ve had in Bangkok is from a tiny shop in a residential neighborhood way out on the edge of the city.

It’s so good that I’ve actually wondered, why can’t I find another pizza place this good somewhere closer to central Bangkok? 😂

I’ve tried so many places over the years, but honestly, Laluka Pizza has still been my No. 1 since I first tried it five years ago.

I went back again yesterday, and yep — I told the owner the same thing: his pizza is still my favorite in Bangkok and the surrounding area.

The only bad news? He has no interest in opening another branch. He’s happy keeping it simple, making pizza at home, and doing things his own way.

Wat Sang Kratai in Ang Thong is one of the most beautiful old temples near Bangkok.

The temple is over 400 years old, and its old ordination hall has almost been reclaimed by nature. Giant bodhi tree roots now wrap around the entire building, creating one of the most unforgettable sights I have seen. It was one of those places that completely amazed me from the very first moment.

It takes around 1.5–2 hours to get here from Bangkok.

PHUKET BEACHES · 10 OF 15

10) Mai Khao Beach
Karon is the second-longest beach in Phuket after Bang Tao. It stretches for around 3 kilometers in a long, straight line, with a very wide beach, golden sand, and a gentle slope into the sea.

The water is clear and good for swimming. I also found the sand here finer than at many other beaches in Phuket.

Karon is especially good for people who enjoy sunbathing. Sun loungers are lined up along almost the entire beach. Some sections feel a little too crowded, but other parts are more spread out.

There is not much natural shade at Karon. In some sections, there are barely any trees at all, so renting sun loungers with an umbrella is almost necessary if you plan to stay for a while.

Another Bangkok Day Trip Idea

This route takes you from stunning Thai and Chinese temples to Chinatown, affordable souvenirs, Song Wat’s street food and cafés, then ends at ICONSIAM—with an optional dinner cruise if you still have energy.

PHUKET BEACHES · 9 OF 15

9) Freedom Beach
There are two main ways to reach the beach. The first option is to drive to the top of the hill, park, and walk down. The descent is not too difficult, but the climb back up is another story. The trail is steep, and it took me around 20–30 minutes. I had to stop and rest several times on the way back.

After parking, choose the free route down to the beach. It follows a shaded jungle trail, and I actually enjoyed the walk. I even saw a family of wild pigs coming out to look for food, which was a nice surprise.

There is another entrance with a paved walkway built by a private operator. It is easier to walk, but the entrance fee is 200 baht. This access has caused controversy in Thailand over whether a private operator should be allowed to charge visitors and build a concrete path extending toward the beach.

Personally, I would choose the free jungle trail. It is shaded, scenic, and more enjoyable.

The second option is to hire a long-tail boat from Patong or Karon Beach. I did not take the boat myself, but the prices I found were generally no more than 1,500 baht for a round trip, depending on the group size and your bargaining skills.

The water is clear, the sand is fine and white, the shoreline has a beautiful curve, and the beach is surrounded by trees. There are no sun loungers blocking the view, and the water is also good for swimming. For me, Freedom Beach is the most beautiful beach in Phuket.

The problem is that it is no longer hidden at all. The beach can get very crowded, especially in the afternoon, and it may feel too packed if you are looking for privacy or a quiet place to relax. However, the beach itself is so beautiful that I still highly recommend it. It is worth visiting at least once.
