Have many people went to here to celebrate Bangkok Chinese New Year Festival. So, I thought that I was correct to come here, It was very interresting to see how tradation perfromed could put together a thai people in the Bangkok.

For this today, I will tell a bit about Bangkok Chinese New Year Festival

Thailand's largest Chinese community, in the Yaowarat area, organises an annual fair to bring in the New Year. Expect international and Chinese music, lion dancing, local Chinese cultural performances, Chinese opera and fireworks, as well as plenty of stores selling products and food like grilled pork, Peking duck, Chinese desserts and noodles.Thailand's Chinese population is so large that the entire city seems to shut down during Chinese New Year. During this holiday, Chinatown, Bangkok's streets are filled with an international crowd eating their way along Yaowarat and Charon Krung Rds while watching spectacular lion dancing and colourful dragon processions.When you're there, don't miss Wat Traimit (Tri Mit Rd), which houses the world's largest solid gold Buddha, the crocodiles of Wat Chakrawat (Chakrawatm off Anawong Rd) - its first guest is still there, stuffed in a glass case - and Nakhon Kasem (Thieves' Market), where you can buy everything from phallus keychains to hubcaps.

The area has been Chinese community since the early days of Bangkok. Originally living in what is now the Phra Nakhon district, they were relocated here when the capital was set up. The narrow Sampheng Road (สำเพ็ง, now called Wanit I Road, วานิช 1) was the chinatown main street until the Yaowarat Road was constructed in 1892 during King Chulalongkorn period. Nowadays, Yaowarat Road remains the heart of chinatown.
The area for Samphanthawong district was once three separate amphoes, Samphanthawong, Sam Yaek, and Chakkrawat established on 15 October 1915 where old amphoes were overhauled and replaced by 25 new amphoes to cover inner part of Bangkok. Amphoe Sam Yaek and Amphoe Chakkrawat were later merged into Amphoe Samphanthawong. The amphoe became Khet Samphanthawong in 1972. It is believed that the name Samphanthawong was derived from Wat Samphanthawongsaram, the temple near the district office when it was first built. Now the district office is moved to Yotha Road in Talat Noi sub-district.

Synopsis

Movie Title: Naresuan

Director: M.C. ChatriChalerm Yukol

Screenplay: M.C. ChatriChalerm Yukol, Dr. Sunait Chutintaranond

Budget: 500 million baht

Summary Of The Story

Naresuan was born in 1555 , He was the son of King Maha Thammaracha by his chief queen, who was the daughter of King Chakkraphat. He had been taken off to Burma as a hostage for his father’s good behavior in 1564; he returned home in 1571 only when his sister was presented to King Bayinnaung. Though Naresuan was then only 16 years old, his father sent him north to take charge of the Phitsanulok region, thereby maintaining the Sukhothai line's traditional claim on the manpower of that region. At the same time, Naresuan was officially designated uparat, heir-presumptive to the throne of Ayudhya. Over the next decade, he matured to power and demonstrated his great military capabilities in several actions against Cambodia. In the midst of Ayudhya's difficulties in 1581-82, the young prince was sent to Pegu to represent his father in paying homage to King Nandabayin, who had succeeded Bayinnaung at the end of 1581. There he must have seen at first hand the factionalism and jockeying for power that soon threatened to shake the powerful Burmese Empire apart. Legend has it that, in the course of that visit, Naresuan participated with his troops in a Burmese expedition against a Shan state and succeeded in taking a city after the Burmese crown prince and another prince had failed to do so. He thereby gained the jealous enmity of the crown prince, and the Ayudhya chronicle's accounts of the Thai-Burmese conflict that followed are enlivened by the personal rivalry and animosity between the two men. Soon, relations between Pegu and Ayudhya worsened. In 1583, reports reached Naresuan that the Burmese were constructing a road toward Ayudhya; and in the following year, Naresuan was summoned to assist Nandabayin in a campaign against a rival prince in Ava. Naresuan complied and marched with his troops from Phitsanulok to the Mon region of the lower Salween River.There he was informed that the Burmese planned to ambush and kill him. After rounding up captives in the region, he marched back to Phitsanulok and then moved down river to Ayudhya, bringing with him considerable numbers of men to bolster the defenses of the capital. Naresuan now clearly was in defiance of the Burmese court. When a small force sent to punish him early in 1585 was easily repulsed, the Burmese sent vast expedition against Ayudhya in 1585-86 and 1586-87, but on both occasions Naresuan was able to withstand them. In the latter case, he also dealt successfully with a small Cambodian attack. Following the death of King Maha Thammaracha in June 1590, Naresuan formally became king of Ayudhya, perhaps appointing his younger brother Ekathotsarot as his junior co-ruler; soon thereafter the Burmese resumed their attacks. Annual expeditions culminated in a major Burmese offensive at the end of 1592. Led by the crown prince, Naresuan's old rival, Burmese troops marched over the Three Pagodas Pass to Kanchanaburi and from there northward toward Suphanburi, aiming to approach Ayudhya from the west. Informed of their approach, Naresuan led a force from the city and encountered the Burmese at Nong Sarai, twenty-three kilometers northwest of present-day Suphanburi. A massive battle between the two forces ensued on January 18, 1593. The Burmese won the initial skirmishes and pressed down hard on Naresuan's main force. Rather than reinforced his vanguard, Naresuan stood his ground while the Burmese rushed forward, breading ranks in pursuit of the crumbling vanguard. Naresuan and his brother, Ekathotsarot, then plunged into the fray mounted atop war elephants and, on seeing the elephant of the Burmese crown prince, advanced toward it. To the crown prince, Naresuan shouted out, “Come forth and let us fight an elephant duel for the honor of our kingdoms.” In a few moments it was all over. As the two elephants closed, the crown prince slashed a glancing blow at Naresuan with his war scythe, whereupon his body lay exposed to a sudden slash of Naresuan's sword. The crown prince was slain, and the Burmese army fell into disarray and retreated toward Kanchanaburi. The Ayudhya army followed, inflicting heavy casualties upon them. Ayudhya's independence now was secured, and for the next generation, the Burmese kings would be on the defensive against Ayudhya, the tables of war thus turning for the first time in 30 years.

In my opinion, I think that This movie is a good movies. The reason that I think because this movie make me knowing a history of thai country and The people who watch the movie getting the viewpoint from King Nareasuan movies that " If we have a harmoniousness , Nobody can not destroy our country " .

Bung Boraphet

Bung Boraphet

Today, I will introduce the famous place of Nakhonsawan provience. I was born in Nakhonsawan provience. I have studied here since a kindergarten until graduated at Nakhonsawan school. So I knew that Nakhonsawan had a tourist attraction where was interesting. For this today, I will tell a bit about Bung Boraphet.


Bung Boraphet is the one famous place of Nakhonsawan provience. Bung Boraphet is depending on the water level, it can be a small sized lake, or a large sized swamp, occupying a vast area of approximately 140,000 rai. It is the largest aquaculture source of fresh water fish in Thailand. There is a museum and aquarium with many species of fresh water fish. Travel to Bung Boraphet may be arranged by car, a trip of about 9 kms. on Nakhon Sawan - Chum Saeng Road, while a boat from the landing behind the City Market takes about half an hour. Bung Boraphet, or Boraphet Lake, in Nakhon Sawan, claims over 44 species of marine plant life, 162 species of bird, and numerous other wild life. It teams with marine life; fish, insects and plants, making it a great source of food for the flocks of animals and birds, many of which migrate from the cold climate of the north to the lake each winter. This has created a natural ecological cycle for Bung Boraphet. The Wildlife Conservation Divition of the Royal Forest Department declared the area a National Park to protect and conserve wildlife in and around the lake from hunters. Some areas have been designated educational areas for the purpose of nature study at first hand. This aims to instill students and youth with a love of nature as a measure to conserve the environment. Throught the year, Bung Boraphet abounds with animal life, both local and migrants, especially at the beginning of winter in October through March. Birds migrate to the lake in numbers. Teals make an impressive sight as they float serenely on the water surface and then suddwnly take off together into air. In addition to teals, one will notice various local birds such as the gallinule, the water cock and the jocana, as they carry out their everyday business of hunting for food. And it was here at Bung Boraphet that a new species of bird was discovered, bringing the name of Thailand to every bird watchers lips. The rare Princess Sirindhorn bird, or Pseudochelidon hirundinidae can only be found at this lake. It is in the same family as the swallow.

In my opinion, Bung Boraphet is an important tourist attraction of Nakhonsawan provience. It can appeal a tourists from in the country and foreign land. It helps an economy in Nakhonsawan provience and people in provience. So I think that BungBoraphet is the place where I want to give everyone knowing about it and get to visit the Bung Boraphet. If you are interesting it , I can take care you to visit the Bung Boraphet.

My favourite football team

My favourite football team

My favourite sport is football. The reason that I like it because it is a popular sport and make me having a lot of friends. When I played it. The Football team that I like being Manchester United Football Club. In my opinion, I think that The team is a big , great , and have many fans all over the world. Why I think that , because The team have a great football players. For example

Bobby Charlton – one of the greatest strikers football has ever seen;
George Best – the bad boy of football but arguably the
second best player ever (after Pele);
Denis Law – a great striker and one of the world’s best
headers of the ball;
Eric Cantona – the legendary French player who led
United to the League and Cup Double in 1994;
David Beckham – captain of England and a great
inspiration of United’s success;

I started watching Manchester United when I studied at grade 7. I was about 13 years old. My father also like Manchester United. I will tell a bit about Manchester United Football Club.

From its humble beginnings in the Newton Heath area of Manchester, where a group of railway workers decided to start a club in 1878, to its present position as the number 1 club in the world. The club had its good times and bad times until 1945 when Matt Busby was appointed manager. He began to build ateam of teenagers who became known as ‘Busby’sBabes’. But in 1958, the world of Manchester United was destroyed. Returning home from a European Cup game inYugoslavia, the team’s plane crashed in a snowstorm inMunich. Eight players were killed by the crash and several others were seriously hurt. The team had to be rebuilt and that is what Matt Busby did. Manchester United have also had some of the greatest managers. Matt Busby was brought to Manchester after the Second World War in 1945 and was manager until 1971. He built the foundations of the modern club, finding young talented players from around the country. Although the Munich air crash nearly destroyed his young team, he rebuilt the team and won the club its early successes. The other great manager was Alex Ferguson. He was brought to the club from Aberdeen in 1986. Ferguson brought players like David Beckham through the Youth Team scheme and also bought good players from other clubs. His team has won every prize in world football. Manchester United is the richest and most famous club in the world and it seems like this is only the beginning.
