Turn left at this point onto Muak Lek – Wang Muang route. On both sides are bright yellow sunflower fields alternating with vineyards and corn fields. Eventually, the road will lead you through a tree tunnel and you can visit Muak Lek ATV, where you can rent an ATV. Bouncing over the bumpy hill slopes in an ATV is great fun.
