Ayothaya Market Ayutthaya Floating Market

Jan 5, 2018

Ayutthaya is not far from Bangkok. We visited my mother in Phatumtani where is close to Ayutthaya so we decided to go here. My friend "Jum" was our driver today. None remember the direction well then we asked people along our way until we got there. Thai people enter for free but foreigners must buy 200 baht ticket which included the boat tour fee. Thai people must buy the boat tickets so we did. There are many things selling there and also a variety food. There was a show there too. I missed the show because was shopping and taking photos but my husband watched it.

Lunch at Ayuthaya

I would like to recommend this place but unfortunately, I forgot the name. We did not plan to get here but accidentally. It was next to a temple which I forgot the name too. There was a foreigner couple had lunch here at the same time as us. The restaurant provided English and Thai language menu so my husband could pick his dishes by himself. Food was good with reasonable price.

My friend was our driver and the other lady is my mom.

I saw a tiny text on the menu as I suppose it is the restaurant's name "Krua Pluegtara  ครัวพฤกธารา"

Ramindra Market-Talad Leap Tang Duan Ramindra

It is a new big market. I said that because 4 years ago the market did not exist yet. There are many things with reasonable price selling also food zone. I had not caption anything in food area because I was enjoy walking through that area and also wanted to eat everything. If you have a chance to visit Thailand and stay in Bangkok nearby Ramindra road, I recommend this place. The parking fee is 20 baht.

Traditional Khantoke Dinner Chiangmai

I do not know much about Khantoke. I knew it as the Thai Northern style meal which is serving in a set and must sit on the floor. I had once many years ago in Chiangrai and this was the 2nd time but in Chiangmai. We did not plan in advance just asked for a recommendation at the hotel. The front staff told us two places and called them right away. The first one was fully booked so we got another. They told that we were getting a table but when we got there they settled us on the floor. My husband had difficulty to sit on the floor but he did it pass through the night.

Thannatee Boutique Hotel Chiangmai

We were booking a day on Dec 26th for a day with elephants at Elephant Nature Park, Chiangmai. I looked at the hotel which was in the area which the tour company provided a pickup van. I chose Thannatee Boutique Hotel because all nice pictures and good reviews from my searching. Staffs were friendly and polite. I felt like stayed at home in this hotel.

Delaware to Detroit to Korea to Thailand

It was the first day of our Thailand trip this year after 4 years since we went. Our flight was delay  a whole trip. I have a video along the trip but spoke Thai. For you who speak other languages, I am sure that you can see what was going on by watching the video. Please follow me for the next 3 weeks in Thailand videos activities.

Bear country U.S.A Rapid City South Dakota

July 31, 2010

Bear country U.S.A drive through. At first, I thought just only bear babies in the cases, so I changed my mind not to go but my husband still wanted to take me there. I thought it was a place close to my apartment in Bangkok , Thailand named "Safari" but I never been there. It was fun. Album

The zoo staff walked to our car , handed tickets and told us the important rule, "Please do not open the windows and lock the door all the time. Also, stay in the car because it is danger." Unless, enter to the safe area.

I was doubting on those warning but I knew the reason when a wolf pack walked pass the car. It was an open zoo which tourists do slowly drive and enjoy watching animals.

มีหมีตัวโต ๆ เดินปาดหน้า ปาดหลังรถหลายตัว มีกวาง สิงห์โต กับ เสือจะอยู่ในกรง เพราะปล่อยออกมาคงจะอันตราย (เดา) นอกนั้นเดินเพ่นพ่านเต็มไปหมด

The last stop was bear nursery. I liked to see the sleeping babies bear as they looked like dogs. ^_^

Watching Fireworks on the boat at Key West, Florida

July 4, 2014

This was once good time, we were out on the boat in the middle of nowhere.  I said that because I could not see anything in the dark. The information we got was fireworks started at 9pm. but we thought it was cancelled as bad weather. It was a little rain. Well, the captain did not go back but took us further untill we saw other boats. It was almost midnight then the fireworks started. We were exciting and happy.

I had a difficlulty taking photos by setting up the camera still as the boat rocking all time.
