Oasis in Rural Thailand

One of my favorite nearby hangouts is called the UForest Cafe.  It's a beautiful 20 minute drive from my place to the interior of Rayong Province along narrow country roads.

Honestly, a person wouldn't expect such an amazing oasis in the middle of rural Thailand.  This certainly fits with what I've come to find in this country -- quite a few incredible restaurants and attractions located off the beaten path with virtually no advertising or even road signs to indicate their existence.

After awhile, you learn where these gems are hidden in your neighborhood.  Once you find them, it feels like you've made a real 'discovery' and have classified information that needs to be protected!  Obviously, I'm exaggerating but there is a sense of accomplishment when finally locating these places.



I've grown attached to the menu options along with a tranquil environment where I can work on my latest project I call the Scriptural Journal.  Besides the air conditioned restaurant inside, visitors encounter walking paths, waterfalls, kids play area and lots of places to relax the moment they head outside. 






UForest is a wonderful addition to the places I can go when wanting to go for a coffee, have lunch, work, relax and enjoy the outdoors at a moment's notice!
