Morning Pedals and Countryside Charms

As the sun rises over Nong Thale, the air is filled with the promise of adventure. The morning of March 22nd is perfect for a Krabi Eco Cycle tour. With temperatures starting at a comfortable 78.2°F, it’s an ideal time to hop on a bike and explore the lush green rainforests and quaint villages that dot the Krabi countryside. This eco-friendly cycling tour offers a unique glimpse into the local way of life, with stops at rubber and palm oil plantations, and even a chance to cool off in a crystal-clear creek.

The tour is designed for all skill levels, with a support vehicle on hand for those who prefer to take it easy. As one reviewer noted on January 18, 2025:

Fabulous cycle ride. All abilities as a vehicle follows so if you want to ride rather than cycling you have the option. We saw the farms for rubber and palm oil trees. Guide told us about how they get these from the trees and about the communities we cycled through. (Reviewed at: 2025-01-18)

With the tour wrapping up by early afternoon, you’ll have plenty of time to relax and enjoy a leisurely lunch, perhaps sampling some local Thai cuisine.

Afternoon Thrills and Water Adventures

As the day heats up, reaching a high of 102.9°F, it’s time to cool off with an ATV & Kayak Adventure. Available from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM on March 22nd, this tour takes you to a secluded freshwater lagoon, perfect for a refreshing swim. The kayaking portion of the tour offers a serene paddle through the “Klong Naam Sai,” a canal with crystal-clear waters surrounded by rubber trees and vibrant orchids.

After a satisfying “easy Thai plate” lunch, it’s time to rev up the excitement with an ATV ride. This part of the tour provides a thrilling ride through the countryside, offering a different perspective of Krabi’s natural beauty. As one past participant shared:

Great fun and the food was delicious too. ATV was fun and felt safe and kayaking was the real highlight. Tour guide did everything he could to make sure we had fun. (Reviewed at: 2022-03-08)

With the afternoon winding down, you’ll return to your hotel, perhaps just in time to catch a stunning sunset over the Andaman Sea.

Embracing the Rainy Day

March 23rd brings a change in weather, with overcast skies and a high likelihood of rain in the afternoon. But don’t let that dampen your spirits! The morning is still a great time to explore Nong Thale’s indoor attractions or enjoy a leisurely breakfast at a local café.

As the rain begins to fall, consider visiting one of the area’s many art galleries or museums, where you can immerse yourself in the rich culture and history of Krabi. Alternatively, take a cooking class and learn how to prepare traditional Thai dishes, a skill that will surely impress your friends back home.

Despite the rain, the high UV index means sun protection is still a must, so don’t forget your sunscreen. And as the day draws to a close, embrace the cozy atmosphere of a local restaurant, where you can savor a delicious meal while listening to the soothing sound of rain.

Whether you’re cycling through the countryside, kayaking in a hidden lagoon, or simply enjoying the local culture, Nong Thale offers a wealth of experiences that are sure to make your pre-Songkran weekend unforgettable.
