Songkran Holiday 2016 [Thailand]

Today is the first day of Songkran Holiday in Thailand, also in Myanmar and Cambodia. During the holiday from 13rd to 15th April, Thai people do not work, some of them go back their hometown, go to travel or just stay at home and relax. 

I'm really impressed with their traditional colorful clothes, very like. Thai people wear these shirts everywhere that remind the atmosphere is coming to town.

Can't believe that I could have this chance take part in this holiday, not too much activities  (for me) but I actually feel strange and amazing.

colorful clothes everywhere

According to national tradition, Thai people often splash water to the others in order to wish for happiness. Anything that can hold water will be used such as: bowl, bucket, bottle...and water gun.
This activity attracts children, teenager and tourists join the crowds and shout and sing and splash...totally amazing.

water guns are sold everwhere
love this color
I love Thailand.

Cheers!

[One Piece] Luffy and Chopper.

One piece is one of my favourite Japanese cartoon series produced base on the same-name manga. 
It talks about the adventures of captain Monkey D. Luffy named Straw Hat Pirates with his sailors on the way exploring the grand line in search of the world's ultimate treasure known as " One Piece".
His dream is become the next King of the Pirates.
He is a funny young man and very kind with everyone. Always smile and like eating. His character influences my way of life and my attitude facing with difficulties will come.

Luffy 

Chopper is a doctor, also called Tony Tony Chopper as well as the youngest member on board.
Chopper ate a Devil Fruit that has turned him from a reindeer to many kinds afterward: person, devil as well. 
Luffy met him at Drum Island and Chopper has become the sixth member of the crew. 

my 2nd favourite member of the crew

Luffy and Chooper are very kind, honest, brave and cute. :)))


Cheers!

Bang Saen Beach (หาดบางแสน)

Bangsaen Beach (หาดบางแสน) is not a remote area as I thought at the beginning, the beach is famous to local people, especially Thai families but there are enough foreigners here, almost Japanese and French. 

The seashore with golden sand streches quite long over 2km with coconut tree-lined road. It took me one hour wandering along the beach.

We have tasted the delicious seafood along the pavement beside the beach and enjoyed fresh air as well. It was such an enjoyable holiday of us. After 5pm, all the vendors must clear up the space for sort of mini-coffee cars at night.

 I like this place much more than Pattaya because of its peace and quiet, that's why it has become the destination for locals rather than tourists.

The nightlife is more peaceful compared to any beaches I've been such as Pattaya or Phuket. We rent a mini 2-star hotel closed by the beach, only 5 minutes walking. There are reasonable accommodations along the beach with swimming pools or mini bars.



 I was overwhelming with a lot of umbrellas and chairs along the beach, the sand is always clean and in high standard.
golden clean sand and long seashore until heaven
 This town is home of young students of a university who often come to the beach to play activities after school time.

he might be a teacher

There is a sad love story about this town since 18th century about a couple who died to protect their love, Saen and Muk. The name Bang Saen has derived from his name and a destination Sam Muk hill has derived from her name.

I have felt pity because we just spent one night here, next time would be longer staying.
