To go to Thailand, of course, have to take their aircraft. Thai Airways service was good, relatively tasty meal done. I asked Mr. Thai Airways air, "Is this 777", he said: "No, 747". The Thai Airways stewardess smiling as much as possible in Chinese dialogue with us. It stands to reason that they speak English and Thai are good enough, may be with the increase of Chinese tourists, they also try to learn the Chinese language.
Compared with more than 737 Boeing 747 aircraft has four rows of seats, spacious and more. 20:50 take-off the aircraft at an altitude of 30009 1000 feet, flying 2 hours and 08 minutes to reach the Bangkok International Airport, Longman. Bangkok time one hour later than GMT. After finishing a smooth and expeditious entry procedures, than the world of difference between Hong Kong. This is true to go abroad, and everywhere in English and like bean sprouts in Thai signs, no longer see the Chinese.
On the bus before a young lady dressed in Thai costumes for each one of us in turn Xian a small string of flowers, his hands clasped together, of blessings. At this time there is a young man holding the camera taking pictures one by one to us, we feel that Thai people are very polite, mind Le Zizi's.
Morning did not wait for us to eat, photography of the small group began to collect the money one by one, each photo 100 baht, or about 22 yuan, so that we first experienced the worse of capitalism. Thailand's tourism promotion signs hanging everywhere - "Amazing Thailand", it seems we are too little prepared for it.
The morning we went to the outskirts of Bangkok to visit the North football Crocodile Lake. Raised here are mostly crocodile, great shape, 4 meters long, looks very ugly, and some lying motionless on the shore Zhangzhaodazui a sun, some in the hair and green water to swim to the middle. Staff said, crocodiles like the environment, clear-on the contrary good living. Crocodile This is something on the shore dull and slow, but the water is very quick, very aggressive and destructive, there are crocodiles in the wild, where the harm is often the water in the water or near shore.
The most exciting is the tame crocodile show. A Thai boy and a girl were dragged from the water the crocodile ashore, and then do some head and hands into the crocodile's mouth trick up his sleeve with these lower cold-blooded reptiles games, are disturbing to them was worried to Khan .
Samut Prakan Crocodile Farm and runs out at the lunch, went to Chulalongkorn palace tour. Visit the magnificent palace, and so then visit the Thai national treasure, are more taboo, such as not allowed to bring bags, not allowed to take photographs, not allowed to wear shoes, not allowed to lag behind and so on.
Thailand's Grand Palace of the golden dome of the sky in the southern sparkling shine with the people of Thailand's revered Royal family. During the visit and tour guides from the presentation, we found that the Thai people very much love their current king. IX the king is said to love those who use their brains, he invented the Thai Siam Romi, high yield, good taste. He often lived in the Institute, the annual two-thirds of the time among the people, in the eyes of the Thai people a higher prestige.
Finally a boat tour of the Chao Phraya River, looking boat dwellers and the waterside Temple of Letting Them Go.
Evening, we watched a half-decent level of Simon Cabaret.
Bangkok, too many vehicles, traffic management is not very good, is easy to congestion of the city, dubbed the world's largest parking lot. In Bangkok by car, tour guides often said: cold tea - planted earnest (slowly). So an encounter traffic jams, we joked with each other, planting earnest啦.
Thai language is also very interesting, greeting early, middle and good evening, hello all: Sawalika (dom). Toilet: coax furans (dom). Thank you: Are Ken (dom). Brother, Sister, teachers, affectionately known as: a match for. For example surnamed Zhang, the known as the match for Zhang, surnamed Gu Gu is called a match for (according to the Chinese reading, listening is not very good). Pipe a small handsome guy called: Old do do; beautiful girl called: Water Jin-Jin. Buying has been, grocery shopping, buy, respectively Higashiuri: No, no, do not be afraid. When asked to buy fruit, sweet without sweet: End After buying. Xiangui: the change Ang, variable Ang (expensive, expensive). Tube Shemale call: Russia Hartley. Bangkok is known as: Public-tai. In fact the name of Bangkok, is very long, from 140 Thai alphabet composed of some of the tune spectrum for this purpose, tour guides, "a match for King" also sang as we listened to. Thai has 44 letters, spell out a variety of sounds, most of the letters have brought vertical Road, following a small circle of friends, we call it sprouts text.
Thailand's economy affected by 98 years after the Asian financial crisis has waned and the past, many millions of family property, now sold villas, Mercedes-Benz cars and so on, put one at the roadside stalls to do business, talk to make a living. In our journey on the way, often to see the roadside there are some large car park, there is not anything close to fun, good-looking, good to buy things, but the sale price of these cars.
Is different from the general parking lot is that there are two features of the most obvious: First, almost all the cars are on the front windshield that read Thai numbers or digits, indicating the price of this vehicle; second is that all cars wipers are not flat to climb high in the windshield but the tilt is said that this is because the local climate hot, the sun is strong, cars parked outside a long time still do not know what day will "remarry", wiper rubber bead on where there will be Dip baked in the glass of very good cleaning.
These cars with the really surprising than the cheap in China. "Mercedes-Benz 500" price tag 170,000 (converted into RMB, same below), "Honda Accord" price 80000, "Toyota Camry" priced at 110,000. To know that these cars is almost the same as new cars are forced to sell off the owner's. 5,6 into a new car that sold more cheaply, 2 - 4 million on can be very much love won, if not a customs restrictions, I really want to buy an open home.
31 afternoon, we ride to Pattaya. The way, tour guides A financial big appetite, but also separately to each person more than 1000 yuan, saying it was what the group tours must be paid, or only living in Pattaya's hotels, where not to go. I do not know we had paid in advance of the tour fare to Thailand where they are going to use? Quan Pei is not explained, acquiescence A financial grabbing money, the whole car tourists are happy. However, the Afghan Finance this battle, see more, you have gas I am not anxious to do one by one smiling, patient and painstaking ideological work. Finally, we still remain silent and handed over the money.
In the evening, tour guide arranged for Thai massage using ancient techniques, works well. Is a cross between massage between the medical and health care. It is not our main point massage, but pay attention to joints, muscles, from the feet Daotou, the whole process is about two hours after the lifting of a long-distance travel massage caused by fatigue, relax tense spirit. Masseuse are all women, from 20 years old to 40 years old people have, these people are attributable to strength and technology to meals. They work together very seriously, there are some people can understand a few words in Chinese, and some can even say that on the two. We are seven men and women squeezed into a big house, laughing and joking with each other laugh by masseur kneaded dough to twist like to go.
Thailand coach drivers to work is very serious. Visitors ride the bus are generally luxury personal property belonging to the driver, some "big Mercedes-Benz", plenty of "Volvo", the value of 1 million per vehicle. They are safe and prudent to drive to the tourist spots, tourists continue to play, they Queba vehicle cleaning to clean the car, and then closely follow open air-conditioned patient, no matter what happens, they have no complaints. Even at night, they do not live hotel while living in the car, one to save money, and second, fear of what the car mishap. Therefore, the drivers earn is hardly worth the effort, very not easy.
Today is our country's Armed Forces Day. Morning we take the boat to go island play Sands. We are seven people who like to sit in the boat in the first viewing, is also like a stabbing blue flying boats of the sea. Heavy waves slapped the boat, and a half hours down, jolting our bottom Sheng Teng.
Midway, boats parked next to a huge floating dock. We filed up and put on life jackets, seat belts are properly tied, queuing round flying umbrellas hang from the small boats at sea, flying traction, which is a more exciting project, poor health or fear of heights in the free of. I was doing my part, and enjoy the fun of flying a sea.
We then multiplied by a bigger motor boat to the sea fishing, these fish are a part of our lunch, tour guides Chong Ah Choi, said fishing will not bring you hungry. Fortunately, those of us who are not stupid, I hooked fish after the first one, we have good news. Even Bodhi so half-hearted, half a day without looking at the all caught a fish hook. Less than half an hour, we will catch a bucket of fish.
Boatman on board as we have done a meal for lunch, with fried chicken, burn the squid pieces, deep-fried fish (our fruits of labor呀), and some fruits such as rambutan, oranges and so on. Quite happy to eat the sea. After the end of this project, tour guides only tell you, tease you playing with it, to the shore also arranged for a formal lunch meal.
It is very nutritious lunch is also very good looking, in a rattan basket at the end of a small flat whole placed on a green banana leaves, putting a big red crab, a shrimp, a boiled yellow corn, 2 Jiao brown yellow fish, a few pieces of lettuce next to the green again shelved a few small tomatoes. Take-away a small dish of condiments, a big tub on the Xianyu Tang, and a big tub white rice, really color, flavor, aroma, shape is superb, looking at there is loss of appetite. Such as rice, bursting belly has to eat.
August 2 early in the morning we get up, go to store ancient monk in Thailand relic of the memorial, visit the Wax Museum. After that, we went to this far away from the Buddha looked at the Daikin, this Daikin Buddha spent the previous two years, the faithful donated more than a ton of gold embedded in a mountain of a plane, this plane is almost perpendicular to the ground the Buddha 108 meters high, seen from afar is like the golden line drawing out of a giant painting. It is facing the eminent monks, monuments and the direction of Pattaya, according to the local people say, you can bless them safely. From here out, we went to play Nong Nooch Tropical Garden.
Nong Nooch Tropical Garden is a private garden, built a very delicate beautiful, step one scene, flowers, planted we had not seen many kinds of subtropical plants, pruning of the patchwork. There is also Thai folk songs and dances, Thai boxing, tame elephant show. The restaurant here, we have accents from the visitors able to listen to distinguish, there are many Chinese people, followed by South Koreans, some Japanese and Europeans.
Night, we watched a Simon Cabaret, this show pretty pass, which the Japanese song and dance, song and dance of ancient Egypt, South Korea song and dance, Russian dance, Indian dance, Thai classical dance. China's song is "such a return to the previous year," White Snake and Green Snake inside a long embroidered good dance, and Xu Xian ogle. Choreography, lighting, sound and stage of scheduling and programming interface are more particular about.
Thai massage as the traditional method has left us feeling good, we are ready to make trouble, "conspiracy" must look to find the opportunity to deepen the impression. A larger gap at noon that day, we have a line a few people taking advantage of lunch break, but also find time at their own expense to enjoy a Thai massage using ancient techniques, except for a rush these days suffer from fatigue. Massage for my little girl's name is very long, I do not remember, but simply told her Supa, and I thank her labor, together with her a shadow, and she asked me to send her some pictures.
August 3, we left Pattaya, leave the monsters and freaks, where the coexistence of fragrant flowers poisonous weeds and went to a golden temple tour. Everybody is really magnificent Buddhist temple in Thailand, very beautiful. I am not Buddhist devotees, but when I know that this temple dedicated to the Lucky Buddha, compassionate Buddha, Ping Buddha, Emerald Buddha statues, etc., I still cherish a kind of pious heart to my mother invited one can be hung on the Ping Buddha on the back of the neck, I wish old people safely in his later years happy.
After that, we went to the Thai-Burma border to visit a gold Buddha Hall. There is no way to visit a project in Thailand, mostly Buddhist temple. This Golden Temple built on a hill, take the cable car to go up. Here enshrines a monk passed away over the years not a bad flesh. That monk practicing buried alive when a is carnal, calm the mind, such as water. Absolutely did not expect, in the final days, they provoke a bustling stage that day, no peace. If the monks in the days of souls, I do not know what to think he would. Stay here for less than 40 minutes, tour guides and they urged us to board buses to the famous River Kwai.
Sino-Burmese border, is a World War II ruins River Kwai railway bridge, when the Japanese invasion front in order to put a longer time to facilitate further mobilization of the army, in the sub-tropical jungles to force United States and British prisoners of war and Chinese prisoners of war, in extremely harsh conditions River Kwai built for them. Many prisoners of war, disease, torture, hunger and beatings in the buried here.
Not far from the bridge, there are two pieces cemetery, a prisoner of war in China, are traditional Chinese chair graves, there are many graves before wreaths, offerings; one is the United States and British prisoners of war, the cemetery without graves, only the rows of solemnity of the 10 sub-frame. In any case, they are aimed at the anti-fascist and safeguarding world peace and died as a junior from the heart of my respect for them, passing cemetery, the sky was raining, as if shedding tears for them. Vehicles do not stop, walked Chinese prisoners of war cemetery, my hands clasped together, silently wish their souls rest in peace.
Evening boat tour the River Kwai, in the boat drinking beer, drinks, sing karaoke OK, dancing. This is the last night in Thailand, we have a great time, very thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Causing such a fuss when the madness, simply put beer lavished on the tour. Everybody seems to have forgotten the age difference, over a Thai-style of "throwing beer" section.
During this period, we watched the old nun still ashore floating, suspended water meditation performances. Conclusion of the event, we drive back along the way also irrepressible excitement, but also singing, but also downtown. Back to Bangkok, is already more than 12-point night, and still living in the Alexandria Hotel.
