Haven’t been to Kao Yai National Park, but I had a great time in Thailand. Beautiful country. Kao Yai sounds like a a great place for a picnic.

Thanks for the tips, Gennaro–

though Thailand is too hot to picnic during summer, but it’s surely a best thing to do in our mild winter. I went for picnic by the reservoir in Kao Yai National Park on December. didn’t get strangers to join us though, but got horn birds as great companies around

Wow, never have I tried a real picnic in my life. My friends just usually hang out in fastfood chains. I guess picnic is not really our thing. But I know it would be worth trying even with family.

@Brian D. Hawkins,

Agreed. It’s something that can be enjoyed in any town or city. It allows friends to get together and enjoy a meal in the great outdoors. Campus are a great place for a picnic, nice pick-up.

I think it’s cool when, in the summer, I drive through the University of Michigan campus and see a couple or group of friends sitting in a common yard surrounded by hundreds of passers-by have a picnic. They just lay out a blanket and have lunch together. It seems like they’re enjoying life no matter where they are.

It definately adds to the experience

@Jon

Great points. It’s often a hole in the wall that all the locals are lined up to shop at.

I agree totally. Any park with a bench or steps of a monumant (as long as it’s respectful) is ideal for a picnic. Especially if there’s a great view. But if not, just watching the locals go about daily life can be so very interesting.

As for food, find a shop that’s crowded at lunch time. Any place popular with locals should be great and authentic.

Picking foods that are native to the area is a great way to have a picnic. Then all you need to do is find that “special” spot. Sweet!
