itself has nothing special to shout about except to expect heavy jams during holiday seasons.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s 4 of us in the car, me, wife and another couple. \u00a0As this is the first time we visit there, we have no idea what to expect and we arrived pretty early in the town with no particular destination to visit. \u00a0As this is not the right time for the padi-growing, we were greeted with a massive bald land with dirt.\u00a0So we roam around and visited one of the padi-processing factory and took some photographs before moving on.<\/p>\n<p>During the trip, we have a good lunch at a good price at one of the local restaurant.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-899\"

there&#8217;s a lot of activities around. \u00a0Unfortunately the tree houses are all occupied while we are there, we managed to take a few shots before decided to return without the original seafood
