The first thing you will notice about the Silver Lake Vineyard tour is, well, you don’t tour the vineyards. You don’t even see a grape. Sure, you see the vineyards, but vineyards are not actually included in the tour; they are out of bounds.
For around 150 baht per person, you can board the Silver Lake tour bus. The bus stops at a few points of interest, which, as you can see if you browse the photos below, are very beautiful photo props.
Silver Lake is a beautiful place and well worth dropping by if you are in the area visiting Nong Nooch Gardens or Ramayana Water Park, and you can also visit the nearby Khao Chi Chan (laser Buddha) and the impressive Wat Yansangwararam. Entry is free, and you are welcome to wander around the forecourt and courtyard areas overlooking the vineyards. Across the road from the vineyards is the Silver Lake Grill, a highly recommended eating place, especially if you can make it for sun-downers.
