Piya resort Rayong beach

Jan 10, 2018

We left Sattaheep and headed to Mae Rampueng beach, Rayong. I reserved a resort by phone last night. A friend of mine will come and meet us at the resort.

 We bought fresh pineapple which selling on our way to Rayong

Here we were. Resort close to the beach as a little walk.
There was a restaurant at the beach area where was resort own.

The tiny Thai style house with 2 bedrooms air condition, one bath, TV, and refrigerators each room.
My friend said that this resort name changed. It might be sold to a new owner.
The room was OK but a lot of dust on the TV shelf.

For overall, I like the place as there were many trees and felt like home.

Our friend came with stream corn and sweet rice in bamboo. 

She sells them and made sweet rice in bamboo.

She also brought Thai custard cake which called " Khanom Krog" in Thai. 

I have not eaten this for many years

Dinner at "Pha Ya seafood (aunty Ya seafood)", by the beach. All fresh seafood dishes, hot and spicy.

We went to street market at night.

My husband and I were swimming on the next morning at 7am.

I think because it was too early for other people that good as we stayed in a private beach.

I missed these beach chairs and umbrellas which I have not seen in the USA.

What I knew is everyone in the USA carries their own chairs, towels, tents...etc.

Once, we were in Miami, beach chairs provided by the hotel where we stayed no charge for

the guests. However, another trip at Myrtle Beach, the beach chair available for rent.

I rented a black donut ring which was the inside truck tire swim in the beach 50 bath each.

We were swiming about an hour and get back to get ready for the next destination.

Our friend will take us to "Na Cafe" coffee shop.

This dog came to us since last night we got here and stayed around. I fed him/her food.

Suan Pakkad Palace

Jan 4, 2018

I had been living in Bangkok for many years and travel passed by this place also very day when I was a college student, but I did not have a chance to visit. It is on Phayathai road where Phayathai BTS station is the nearest and takes a bit walk to get here. On that day, we stayed at Changwattana road so we took a taxi van on the Express-way, got off at Victory monument and walked for few miles. The houses are old which some house not allowed to touch on the art because of delicate and also could not take photos and video inside. 

I like the place very much as I felt like home. Finally, I have been here.

A night at Phrae

Dec 29, 2017

Tonight we stopped at Phrae to pick up my brother joining our trip. He is a 3rd-year undergraduate student at Maejo University, Phrae. He told us that the hotel we stayed was the best one in the area and the price was reasonable as 500 baht a night no breakfast. There was a coffee shop in the hotel which I like its interior.

In the next morning, we walked around looking for a place to have breakfast. The hotel location was not bad. There were a local fresh market, a bank, and a local food restaurant by walking to the main road. Look at my video.

I had a funny story to tell. It was funny for us but may not for you. Are you ready?

After we got in the room, Mister turn on TV and something wrong which cause the TV did not work as it should. He was trying to figure it out but he could not. I asked him and fixed his problem as I changed the language from Thai to English for him. However, the TV still did not get to any channel.

I was looking for a WiFi password which it should place in the room somewhere but I could not see anywhere.  I decided to walk back to the check-in counter. I open the big door and get in the area where was dark. It was about 1 am. I could not see anybody and suddenly the boy jumped from somewhere. He scared me!   He looked upset and mad but still asked me if I needed anything.

I asked him for WiFi password and he told me,"It is on the closet's side". I thanked him and ran.

Mister asked me if I told him to fix TV. No, I did not. How did I want to ask him more as his face looked mad. I looked through the closet many times. Mister helped me looked at other places which we thought it might be there but nothing.

I walked back to the boy again with Mister. This time, I knew where he was. I woke him up and told him what we wanted. He asked with cold voice, " What is your room number?".

He walked fast headed to the room before us. OMG! I ran to get to the room before him and open the door.
He fixed the TV without saying words until it worked and told how to control the remote quickly than I could catch. I told him to tell Mister again. He wrote WiFi password for me and left us quietly.

Mister laughed and said ," I think he hived"
Me : What hived?

Mister: drug.

Me : I think so.

Muang Sing Historical Park Kanchanaburi Thailand

Jan 8, 2018

A friend offered to be our driver today could pick up us a bit late. I told her to pick us up at Best Western Plus Grand Hotel, Changwattana at 11am. and we picked up my mom together. It took about half an hour to get to mom and we headed to Kanchanaburi.


Traffic was not bad so we got there in two hours. As we had half day then I looked at places to visit last night and picked two, Wat Tham Sua (Tiger cave temple) and Muang Sing Historic Park. We went to Muang sing Historic Park first because it closed at 4pm. then Wat Tham Sua.
