Merkus pine forest is hard to find in Thailand and it is located at Phu Toei national park, Suphan Buri. It is growing at 763-meter above the sea level. When you hike up the hill, you’ll see the panoramic view of Suphan Buri. People usually hike in the morning and be greeted with fresh air and sea of fog.

Our visit to Talad Sam Chuk Market was part of Asian Itinerary’s short media tour of Suphanburi, and it offered a delightful immersion into the region’s cultural and historical charm. As we strolled through the narrow lanes of this century-old market, we couldn’t help but notice the warm smiles of the local vendors, who seemed genuinely happy to see us. There weren’t many foreign tourists in sight, giving the experience an authentic, local feel that’s hard to find in more commercialized markets.
