Whilst enroute to the Pala-U Jungle Trail/Waterfall, our guide (known to us as "Chai"), decided to stop by a small Pineapple Plantation to break the almost 2-hr journey from Hua Hin. Each Pineapple, carefully wrapped in newspaper to prevent insects from attacking the young fruit, cost about 8 baht (about $0.25) when harvested. With fields of pineapples growing at various stages, no wonder pineapples are plentiful for desert at the end of each Thai meal.
With just a 20-30 min stopover, it was a good physical & educational break from sitting down (in the mini van) for the past one hour. Fortunately, it was not too hot (up in the mountains area).
