Thailand recently introduced a property tax which applies to second homes and vacant property. It doesn't not apply to agricultural land. As a result, many people who own undeveloped land have instantly become farmers. This is now a coconut plantation.

Very slow progress on the dual rail project
Bike path under construction. When done the path will extend for 5.8K from Khao Nang Phanthurat National Park around the north end of Khao Yai and down the west side of Khao Yai
Found this old stairway near the beginning of the bike path
Short but steep it leads up to the old shrine that you can barely see in the photo above.
View from the shrine
Lots of prickly pear cactus along the trail
Spirit house at the base of the steps
This is on the west side of Khao Yai not far from the Swiss Sheep Farm
A paved section of the bike trail
Nice moth at the Condo
On the way home we stopped at this Dvaravati Chedi which dates from about 700 AD
Many ancient artifacts have been found. This explanatory poster from Rajapat University at Petchaburi.
Coffee stop on the way home at Klue Wan (sweet salt) Cafe. This area still produces significant amounts of sea salt based on the old evaporative farm method.
