Travel Tips by Dr. Prinya |

I like to go to Damnoen Saduak or floating Market located at Ratchaburi (Ratchaburi occupies an area of 5,196 square kilometers and is located 101 kilometers from Bangkok along Phetchakasem High way or 80 kilometers along the Highway No.35),where timeless lifestyle of Thai people can be observed along the canals. The Floating Market is not far from Bangkok and it takes about 1 hour to drive. In floating market you can rent a boat to ride around the canal. There are many kinds of food available such as fresh seafood, vegetables, fruits, and original Thai food. And i can also see traditional Thai’s lifestyle. I like to spend overnight in the homestay and they treat me as part of their family. Seafood is my favorite dish especially at Lumba Lumba restaurant (31 Soi Langsuan, Ploenchit Road Lumpini, Pathumwan, Bangkok, walk from BTS Chitlom Station down to soi Langsuan less than 5 minutes) They offer a fresh seafood and Chinese food. Inside is full of hundreds of beautiful Balinese statues, and artwork that cover the surrounding dining rooms. I noticed that the tablecloths and utensils are authentically Balinese. It is pretty impressive. I like playing golf in the free time at Laguna Phuket Golf Club on Phuket Island that is one of the best my golf club(Home of famous Blue Canyon Golf Lodge with two 18-hole championship courses, Canyon and Lakes). Distance from Bangkok is about 1 hour and 15 minutes by air and there are more than 15 daily flights available. Diving at Nang Yun Island and Samui Island is also my favorite activity. It is an island off the east coast of the Kra Isthmus in Thailand, close to the mainland Surat Thani town. It is Thailand's third largest island, with an area of 228.7 km².The most popular sites for advanced divers are Sail Rock and Angthong National Marine Park off the northern end of Samui island because the reefs are still very intact and the marine life is very abundant. I suggest to come and enjoy diving is from mid-November through March. |
