Where do I live

banbueng.jpg


Ban Bueng has no tourist attractions in the customary sense but Ban Bueng has a special attraction, the buffalo race. It is a spectacle for itself.


Ban Bueng is a small town with more than 10,000 inhabitants. Ban Bueng is not far from Chonburi. Many Chinese immigrants have settled in Ban Bueng; agriculture is the main income. Many restaurants with the most different courts adorn the high street. The town looks hectic, but nevertheless, it has not lost in coziness.

People are anyhow related around seven corners live in joy and warmth. Modern and antique are taking place side by side. Young and Old meet with respect. It is a pleasure living here

Walkaround Thailand

I'm gonna post some pictures taken around Thailand. I don't do the competition but I would like to share some impressions around me. Hopefully that you like my stuff.


The Royal Flora Ratchaphruek was a flower festival held 1 November 2006, to 31 January 2007, in the Thai city of Chiang Mai that drew 3,781,624 visitors. It was one of the grand celebrations being hosted by the Royal Thai Government in honor of King Bhumibol, the world’s longest reigning monarch.

The Ratchaphruek (Cassia fistula L.) or Golden Shower Tree is the de facto national flower of Thailand. It’s yellow blossoms correspond to Monday, the birthday of Bhumibol. It is also named “Khun” or “Chaiyaphruek”.

Re: Walkaround Thailand

In a Chinese Restaurant, (I'm going to post some photos from this beautiful restaurant later), chestnuts roaster. Chestnuts, imported from China, are roasted in a very large wok filled with tiny iron pellets.

Re: Walkaround Thailand

Why do they put the iron pellets in with the chestnuts? Does it help them roast faster? Are these water chestnuts?

It roasts not faster it's is like roast - cooking, not one gets burned nether breaks open and it becomes a nice sweet taste.
