Today we are going to see the sea of ​​clouds at Fainamdan National Park. We were planning to leave at 4:30, but Mr. M suggested we leave at 4:00. With that spirit, I suddenly come back to myself. Approximately 2 hours. While sleeping soundly, I realized that I was climbing a mountain path. It's still dark outside, but the cars are still going. Information that a sea of ​​clouds can be seen from the viewpoint in the early morning from November to February. When I went outside in the dark at 6am, it was extremely cold. I can't believe it's Thailand. Many people gather at the view point. The scenery that becomes visible as it gets brighter. It's a little cloudy and I can't see clearly, but I can see a sea of ​​clouds. After that, the sun appeared for a moment, but everything was still hazy. The coffee shop at the viewpoint started to open, and I ordered hot coffee, which I drank with the hotel's breakfast box. I say to myself, ``Delicious coffee.'' With croissants. This croissant is exquisite. . . The Thai cherry blossoms were starting to bloom here, and I was able to see them for the first time in Thailand. It would be difficult for them to bloom without the difference in temperature and temperature like here.
