Escape the City — Into Nature’s Embrace
Just a short journey from Bangkok, I found myself driving into the green arms of Nakhon Nayok — a place where the urban hum fades and nature’s rhythms take over. The destination: Eco Eyes Village, a unique eco-retreat that blends nature, learning and relaxation. This video captures not only the stunning landscapes but the feeling of stepping off the grid just enough to breathe again.
Eco Eyes Village: Where Learning Meets Leisure
At Eco Eyes Village, I discovered more than just a pretty setting. It’s a centre of environmental education and restoration. Over the last five years this former rice-field has grown into a forested space with more than 150 tree species and over 300 animal species. The place invites you to engage with nature — from walking trails and café moments to quiet corners meant for reflection.
In the video, you’ll see:
Sunlight filtering through tall trees, illuminating the forest floor.
Eco café offerings that tie into sustainability and DIY experiences.
A sense of stillness and involvement that you seldom find on a day-trip.
Activities & Vibes Worth Noting
Nature Trails: Wandering through the grounds felt like entering a mini-ecosystem. Tree canopies, birdsong and undergrowth created a backdrop for quiet reflection.
Eco Café & Learning Zone: Whether you’re relaxing with a drink or diving into the environmental message the site promotes, there’s a strong sense of purpose. (See their mission to reconnect people to nature.)
Escape from Routine: In the middle of daily hustle, this retreat gave me a chance to recalibrate—watching clouds drift, listening to rustling leaves, just letting the moment slow.
Why Nakhon Nayok Completes the Picture
The region of Nakhon Nayok surrounds this eco-village with lush scenery, rivers and outdoor possibilities. For travellers seeking a short-haul escape from Bangkok, it offers both accessibility and depth. The video highlights elements like forested hills, natural textures and spaces you can inhabit, not just pass through.
