Many teenagers look for old motorbike like this and restore them by putting a new engine, painting a bright color and add more accessories. They like to ride it around town or show off among their friends. They even have a club for this kind of bike, like vespa or chopper. It is an old classic motorbike so it doesn’t need a register. You can ride around town without being caught by a police.

In the villages or in town, you will see lots of guys carrying a cake of Konghuajuk bird and hang them together for singing practice. The singging contest is a big event that they oranize every year. The winner gets big prize like many hundreds thousand.

Spicy, yummy and light good for dinner when you want to loose weight…

All the roads are flooded with last night rains..

We have one more day for weekend bc most of the schools are closing due to the flood..

This morning, my mom, my aunt, my sister, her hubby and I joined the big donation event held at the school situated in front of my shop. They performed a religious ceremony that we chanted and prayed together and we offered food to the monks afterwards. There were 129 monks attending the event. All the foods are dry and canned. After the donation, the foods will be sent to the schools and soldiers working in the 3 southern-bordered provinces. And the prayers are for the soldiers, schools, teachers, students and the villagers living in those area to be safe from the daily unrest situation there..

it’s where we gather to make merit for our dead ancesters by praying and offering food to monks, apart from going to the temple.

Our ancesters wore this kind of outfit more than 100 years ago, both children and adults. It was their usual outfit that they wore when staying home.

Nowsaday, most of the children wear it again for speacial occasions like Songkran day (Thai New Year), when attaining ordaination day, or going to temple to perform religious ceremonies etc..

Yesterday was my sister’s birthday and picked this day to perform home welcoming ceremony. We’ve moved here for nearly a year now but haven’t done such things. In Thailand, when you move to a new house, you have to perform religious ceremony by bring monks into the house to pray for your new house and for you to live peacefully and happily.

So, yesterday we invited 5 monks to the house to pray and after the ceremony we offered food to them. We also invites relatives to join the ceremony and have lunch together..

We only find this style of stupa in the North of Thailand and mostly in Maehongson. It looks very different from the ones in the South..

another kind of tuk-tuk in Trang province..
