Rainy season is not quite pleasant. As the name implied, it will be raining most of the time during the rainy season. Sometimes it rains cats and dogs. Probably going to Rainfalls is the best choice for Rainy season. Most of them are located near mountain s and the west of Thailand. A recommended province if you would like to see rainfall is Kanjanaburi which is about 200- 300 kilometer from Bangkok. Moreover the ancient place for example River Kwea Bridge which people use to cross the river to Burma.
The bridge was built during the Second World War by prisoner of war of Japanese army and also there is a prisoner of war cemetery. Also the Japanese weapons and equipments which were found during the Second World War are collected and shown in the museum.
An ancient place which was registered as a world class from UNESCO is the Sukhothai memorable. This is about 400-500 kilometers from Bangkok. It began about 700-800 years ago, Sukhothai province had many memorable places e.g. Monuments, temples and the “ mile stone ” which indicates that Thai people has our own language and was built by King Ramkhamhaeng the Great.
He engraved the history of Thailand on the stone and invented Thai alphabets. Also Sukhothai is the place where “Loi-Ka-Thong” festival took place. It is in November of every year.
Another important province is “Pranakorn Sri-ayuthaya”, the province where many ancients were registered by UNESCO. The 417 years history with 33 Kings guarantees you how old the province is. Ayutaya has many ancient places. There were wars between Thai and Burma and that left many damag ed and wrecked places behind. No matter how much they were damaged they are still beautiful. Especially, “pra-barom-maha-rachawang” and “luang-por toe” which is the biggest.
Ayutaya has the most quantity of temples in Thailand. All these temples were constructed and engraved and crafted by the ancient specialists. Many of them are still in good condition and ready for our generation to visit.
The place which has to be mentioned and must go is “wat-pra-kaew”. In the past, “wat-pra-kaew used to be king’s paradise. “Pra-kaew-morakot” is located here. A round the temple consists of many wonderful architecture and wall painting. The other place where it is not too far from “wat-pra-kaew” is “Arun-rach-wanaram” temple. The place where there is a pagoda located on the side of “jao-pra-ya” river.
We have talked about many interesting places. The other thing that we cannot miss when talking about Thailand is Thai Food, Thai sweet. It is well known that “Tom yum Kung”, and “papaya salad (som tum)” is very popular. Whoever ever visits Thailand must ask for “Tom yum Kung” and “papaya salad (som tum)”. They say “who never taste tomyumkung and som tum, they never come to Thailand”. For the sweet, there are thousands of them which I might not be able to describe everything. So I might demonstrate using the images.

My website mainly contains contents on technology but because I am Thai so I would like to promote my country. Sorry for the inconvenience of inadequate details. I have put some links about Thailand so you can visit these links for more Thailand details.
There have been occasions when Thailand was negatively portrayed by the media such as newspapers or websites, but I’d like to let you know that the majority of Thais are peace-loving and kind-hearted people. It is only very small numbers of bad apples -- perhaps 1 in 100,000 or even 1 in 1,000,000 – that make the other 63 millions Thais look bad. So, I want to reassure you that Thai people are in general really kind, peace loving and smiley. |
