Marine Base Sattaheep Thailand



My dad relatives were making a funeral for one of my grandparents family and we took her ashes to the ocean. It called " Loi Ungkarn" in Thai. I looked for the word in English and got this, Water Burial".

This reminds me once when I was very young which I went on a long tail boat with dad, my own grandmother and other relatives whom I did not remember. Those time, my grandmother left ashes into the water but this time I saw they took a whole pot into the water.

I do not know much about ceremony though. I think, nowadays, this ceremony is a business as Thai culture because there were many families did this on the same day. We must reserve time and day to do and wait on the queue.

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.
