New Year' Day

             In the present, most New Year’s festivities begin on December 31 (New Year’s Eve), the last day of the Gregorian calendar, and continue into the early hours of January 1 (New Year’s Day).
             Last year, I went to Chaing Mai with my family. I visited the older relatives at Nice Plaza. I went to travel many places such as Monjam, Ang Kang mountain, Chaing Daw mountain, Orange farm, and Strawberry farm. Before I came back home to Nakhon Pathom. I went to Kad Tung Kwain for buying the souvenirs.
             In my opinion, I think I like to travel together with my family. It makes me happy and spends time together.

My Favorite Place to Go

            My  favorite place is the sea at Pran Buri, Prachuap Khiri Khan. The beach is wonderful for me.  And it is to take a long time to go to Pran Buri from my house to the sea.
            There are many resorts to choose several types. And the people in this place is a good mood person. Own resort is fishermen's uncle, so he is a cute and a good person. We can bring a dog into the resort. The weather is hot, but the water is cool and fresh. First, I enjoy swimming and building sand castles. Pranburi is a quiet beach and a wide. The sand is soft and white. I like the beach smell. The air smells salty from the sea. The beach is noisy with waves, seagulls and laughing children.
            This place is the tourist attraction for relaxation. There are many activities such as taking a photo, surfing banana boat, fishing squid, and rock climbing. At night, we can drive into the city. There are midnight markets and Cicada market. In this place it is the tourist attraction for going shopping. There are many things such as seafood, clothes ,and handmade souvenirs.
            Pranburi is becoming popular with those tourists who are looking for a quiet alternative to be nearby Hua Hin. The sea Pran Buri is my favorite place to go. If you do not have favorite place, I recommend this place. It is good for your relaxation and enjoyment with many activities. You will want to go to the sea Pran Buri.

The End of Buddhist Lent Day

         The End of Buddhist Lent Day festival takes places on the 15th day of the waxing moon on the 11th lunar month (around October) each year. It was the day that The Lord Buddha came back from visiting his mother in the heaven so people held the welcoming ceremony for him. Besides, it was the day remarking the end of rainy season, the period of time that the monks cannot stay overnight in another monastery. Some province will be see various special cultural performances. For example, Illuminated Boat Procession at Nakhon Phanom, The Chakphra festival at Surat Thani , and The Naga Fireball phenomenon at Nong Khai.
          When The End of Buddhist Lent Day, I and my family went to temple for giving food offerings to a Buddhist monk and listen to the sermon at the temple. When I make merit with the family. It makes me very happy.

Valentine's Day

          Most people will like Valentine's Day because it was special day. The people would give flowers with special person such as boyfriend, girlfriend, father, and mother. Special person did not limit only lover. You could give flower, chocolate, handmade, or everything with special person.
          Last Valentine's Day, it was holiday that match the Makha Bucha's Day. the student would give flower or chocolate before holiday. When the holiday I went to temple for making merit with my family. Last Valentine's Day, I not gave flower and chocolate with special person because I had not money.
          In my opinion, I think that I can show love any day need not only a special day. I will tell love with special person (boyfriend) everyday if I have.

Northern and Southern of Thailand

          I have ever been the northern and the southern in Thailand every year. I felt it was very different between the summer, rainy, and winter season.
          The summer season is hot in northern. The northern is cloudy and windy. There are planting strawberries, carrots, plums, and grapes. I like to visit strawberry farm because I like to eat strawberries.
Popular places are Monjam, Intranon mountain, and Angkang mountain. Especially, the winter season is cold. People stay on the mountain and plateaus that are lots of hotels. And there were local products for tourist attraction such as preserved fruit, handmade bag, chili paste, and silk.

Intranon Mountain

Monjam 

           However, the summer season is hot in the southern. The southern is rainy and flood. And everyone likes to swim in the sea. People also go travelling in the many mountain. In the southern, there is not the winter season, but in the rainy season. There are many storms. There are planting palm trees, coconuts, pomelo, and grapefruits. In the southern, there are many hotels near the beaches.

            In my opinion, I like the northern rather than southern because the scenery looks the beautiful and cool atmosphere, whereas in southern is very hot. Even though there are lots of activities, but I also prefer the northern to the southern.

Chinese New Year

         The most important holiday for Chinese around the world is Chinese New Year. According to the legend, the beginning of Chinese New Year started with the fight against a mythical beast called the "Year". It was name of dragon. At the night of New Tear's Eve, the "Year" will come out to harm people and animals. Later people found that the "Year" is afraid of red color, fire, and loud sound. Therefore, for self-protection, people form the habit of posting red Dui Lian in front of the house, launching fireworks, and handing lantern at end of the year.
          Before the New Year's Day, all family will go shopping and clean them house. First day of New Year, people will greet each other, especially younger people will visit and greet the older relatives and friends. In second day, some people will host some religious ceremonies to honor the ancestor to die or the gods. In the evening, the New Year's Eve dinner is the most important dinner for Chinese. Normally, this is the family feast especially for those with family member away from home. The food important is Dumplings, Yang Yuan, and Laba Congee. After that, the elders would give a red pocket with money in it. The people believed that the money in the red pocket will suppress the evil from the children for keeping the children health. And there was burning gold and money to ancestors. In Bangkok, there was Chinatown that this was a place where people of Chinese descend and live in Chinatown a lot. In Chinatown, there will be a festival. In celebration, there will manage for the show. That is the dragon dance. Dragon dance is a form of a traditional dance in Chinese culture.
            Finally, I think I like the Chinese New Year festival because it makes me have found many relatives. We have dinner together that it makes me happy.

Not Enough Time

         Should I quit my part-time job? I like my job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant because the food is good , the atmosphere is friendly , and I can earn some money. But it is causing some problems for me.
         One reason is that I want to be a teacher and i want to concentrate on my studies for teaching in the future, but I can't work so many times. In addition, I would like to get money to pay for everyday life, but I would like to spend my free time for taking care my sick mother. And finally, I have to do my homework that it was not enough time to finish my homework because I have to work hard almost everyday. Even though I like my job, I might quit until I finish school, or ask my boss if I can work fewer hours.

My Own Story

         I am a student at Nakhon Pathom Rajabhat university. Ispend the most of time at university. On the weekend, I go to university that I wear university's uniform every time. In 1 day, I have to do many homeworks in worksheets. Everybody pays attention to their homework. My friend is drawing on white board.She has beautiful handwriting. She has many white board markers and many colours. She always brings it. In every day, I always wear a sweater because it can sunblock. I have a friend. She is talkative. She can talk every time. In class room, there are only one friend that has many accessories. She wears  not the same accessories in some day. She has many handbags too. After that, I go to the market to buy cub cake and a water drink.

White Lies

         Most people will lie for their benefit. It was a good and bad thing that event force ; for example, if you said you didn't like it, you would make them unhappy and angry with you. You could lie if the truth would hurt and it was not important.
         Three years ago, I and my friend went to Siam that her was self-confident in dressing up. That day, I saw her wear flashy cloth and very close-fitting that it was not suited for her, but I was afraid her feel bad. 
I told her that today her dress was pretty. After that, we always traveled together. She always dressed up this style. Sometimes she wore strangely. I was not sure that I had to tell the suit. I am not encouraged.
         One year after that, I decided to tell the truth with my friend everything. She said you lies me. Suddenly, she said you did not lie to me again.
