			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>&#8220;Ohh..We are so lucky!</strong> That that .. Can you see it?!!&#8221; excited voice of middle-aged man shouted against the winds and the waves, while he quickly ran to a little boy who was making a sand castle with his mom and sister.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Dolphins, Dolphins, Dolphins!!!&#8221;</strong> his dad is still exciting, while carry the boy in his arms and take him to see the dolphins for that the boy can talk big at his school day&#8230;.&#8221;</p>
<p><img src="http://www.thailandtravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/kaoplydum01.jpg" alt="" title="kaoplydum01" width="300" height="250" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-148" /> <img src="http://www.thailandtravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/kaoplydum02.jpg" alt="" title="kaoplydum02" width="300" height="250" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-149" /><br />
<span id="more-147"></span><br />
This is a little part of impression that always see on <strong>&#8220;Had Tongyang&#8221;(Tongyang Beach)</strong>, the one beautiful place of <strong>Mookao PlyDum (a group of Mountain,Plydum)</strong>,where is <strong>Nakornsrithammarat</strong> proud to present.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.thailandtravelling.com/tag/kao-plydum" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with kao plydum">Kao Plydum</a></strong>, this strange name has been origin from the appearance of the mountain which similar to the Elephant, or else some people told that it comes form the name of the herb on the mountain,<strong>&#8220;Pridum&#8221;</strong>,which can cure many disease and only found at this mountain in former times.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.thailandtravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/kaoplydum03.jpg" alt="" title="kaoplydum03" width="300" height="250" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-150" /> <img src="http://www.thailandtravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/kaoplydum04.jpg" alt="" title="kaoplydum04" width="300" height="250" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-151" /></p>
<p>However, we don&#8221;t clearly know the origin of the mountain&#8221;s name, the physical features of the mountain which has 3 long continuous range, Plydum Mountain, Kland Mountain, Laung Mountain, by the jiont of Kanom and Sichon district, create a very rich forest and many impression place. So, it&#8221;s proudly called <strong>&#8220;The <a href="http://www.thailandtravelling.com/tag/south-sea-dragon" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with south sea dragon">south sea dragon</a> &#8220;</strong></p>
<p>Many tourists who point their distance to<strong> <a href="http://www.thailandtravelling.com/tag/kao-plydum" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with kao plydum">Kao Plydum</a></strong> always have the same question &#8221; Could we be lucky to see the dolphins?&#8221;, because the one great destination of <strong>Nakornsrithammarat</strong> is <strong>&#8220;Wang Loma&#8221;(Dolphin Palace)</strong>.<strong> Wang Loma</strong> is located on the north of <strong>Ao Tongyang</strong>, near the height mountain and full with group of stone along the beach.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.thailandtravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/bangkok.JPG"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-54" title="bangkok" src="http://www.thailandtravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/bangkok-150x150.jpg" alt="bangkok" width="150" height="150" /></a>Where to go ? &#8211; <a href="http://www.thailandtravelling.com/tag/bangkok" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with bangkok">Bangkok</a></strong></p>
<p>Over the past ten years or more, the self-styled Land of Smiles has grown from being mainly a backpacker preserve to become one of the countries most popular tourist destinations and businesses of the game. Shambolically from its capital, <strong><a href="http://www.thailandtravelling.com/tag/bangkok" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with bangkok">Bangkok</a></strong>, the epic of white sand in some of the world&#8221;s most beautiful beaches, <strong>Thailand</strong> is able to satisfy different tastes. The difference today is that the elephant walks through the jungle and days spent on palm fringed beaches usually end in a luxury hotel or Spa Resort, rather than a &#8220;dollar-a-night&#8221; beach hut.</p>
<p><span id="more-35"></span></p>
<p>Most Thais refer to capital <strong>&#8220;Krung Thep</strong>,&#8221; Thai abbreviated name of a city that actually consists of 32 different words, a suitably impressive number of monikers for a capital which is one of the most eclectic and exciting.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.thailandtravelling.com/tag/bangkok" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with bangkok">Bangkok</a> in Thailand</strong> is what London is in England: metropolis, the hub of activity, economic and political. The rapid pace of change and the increasing prosperity that gives the city much of its vitality has also caused some problems, with widely reported nightmare traffic jams and pollution. In recent years, the opening of a new smart metropolitan rail land that allows visitors to slide in chaotic scenes below, along with its low cost and often river boats and convenient air-conditioned taxi, the situation has improved significantly.</p>
<p>The city is running the <strong><a href="http://www.thailandtravelling.com/tag/chao-phraya-river" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Chao Phraya river">Chao Phraya river</a></strong>, on the banks find that some of the best hotels in <strong><a href="http://www.thailandtravelling.com/tag/bangkok" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with bangkok">Bangkok</a></strong>. It&#8217;s also where visitors will find <strong><a href="http://www.thailandtravelling.com/tag/grand-palace" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Grand Palace">Grand Palace</a></strong>, which covers a wide area, is one of the largest sites. Again, is <strong><a href="http://www.thailandtravelling.com/tag/wat-phra-kaeo" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Wat Phra Kaeo">Wat Phra Kaeo</a></strong>, a temple complex that houses <strong><a href="http://www.thailandtravelling.com/tag/the-emerald-buddha" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with the Emerald Buddha">the Emerald Buddha</a></strong>. This statue of Buddha is not covered in emeralds, as the name suggests, but is made of translucent green jade. Upstream from the <a href="http://www.thailandtravelling.com/tag/grand-palace" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Grand Palace">Grand Palace</a> is the Royal Barges. These richly decorated barges are still used for processions on the Chao Phraya. Within the limits of the city is a fortune of over 300 Buddhist temples and shrines.</p>
<p>More famous is <strong>Wat Benchamabophit (Marble Temple), Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn) and Wat (Temple of the Golden Buddha)</strong>. One of the largest temple complex in the country is <strong>Wat Pho</strong>. In total there are more than 30 individual temples scattered here, including the Temple of Buddha is the largest. The statue of Buddha is enormous, a great 47.5m (156ft) long and 15 m (49ft) high. The gardens surrounding the temple offers an escape from the frenetic pace of the city. The temple is also the National School of traditional Thai massage.</p>
<p><strong>Floating  market </strong>is an interesting place to visit, even if it has become more of a tourist attraction of a genuine market for Thai. Other attractions include <strong>Lak Muang (city of stone), Erawan Shrine</strong>, where local supply is carried out every day, and the <strong>National Museum</strong>. <strong>Inrymt in Suan Pakkard Palace</strong> is a collection of valuable antiques. Interesting is also the former home of the U.S. retailer of silk <strong>Jim Thompson</strong> who has disappeared without trace in 1967. Today, the house is a craft museum with a shop that sells high-quality silks at reasonable prices. <strong><a href="http://www.thailandtravelling.com/tag/bangkok" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with bangkok">Bangkok</a></strong>&#8216;s thriving nightlife is also a great attraction. The ubiquitous girlie bar in <strong>Patpong</strong> is known, but these days are tourist friendly, and beyond these dens, there are new designer bars and discos smart modern, as some of the best restaurants in Asia.</p>
<p><strong>Grand &amp; palacewat pra gaew <a href="http://www.thailandtravelling.com/tag/grand-palace" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Grand Palace">Grand Palace</a></strong> &#8211; this is, <a href="http://www.thailandtravelling.com/tag/bangkok" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with bangkok">Bangkok</a> should refer to the site of the house is a beautiful house and the king of <a href="http://www.thailandtravelling.com/tag/the-emerald-buddha" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with the Emerald Buddha">the Emerald Buddha</a>. This visit is the best thing you can hear the tour guides, all of the history around this wonderful site. <a href="http://www.thailandtravelling.com/tag/grand-palace" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Grand Palace">Grand Palace</a>, here&#8221;s a picture of the left. Remember to adequate clothing (shorts), this place.</p>
<p><strong>JIMUTONPUSON house</strong> &#8211; I have not yet visited, but this is a real beautiful &#8220;Thai style&#8221; O HAUSUOBUAMERIKA SS official that the former reconstruction after the Second World War, Thailand is the silk industry and the mystery disappeared during holidays .

<p><strong>Thai boxing (Muay Thai)</strong> &#8211; Thai boxing has become famous all over the world. Pattaya and Phuket go to a game and you can see the rig, or you can go to Lumpini Park and see the real thing, please.

<p><strong>River &amp; Canal farm arunsnake WATTOWATTOARUN journey </strong>- and not RITORUTORIPPU pleasant, but many are known to take a boat rental and a two-hour long journey through the canals of <a href="http://www.thailandtravelling.com/tag/bangkok" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with bangkok">Bangkok</a>. You can rent a boat and the driver is a snake farm and take the farm and WATTOARUN River Orchid (Temple of Dawn). WATTOARUN river photos are displayed on the left side.

You can certainly go through the Canal on the other side of what life please refer. If you want to receive photos of some major channel in proceedings for children waving and smiling on you, this is the trip. I have these guys know how it is not possible to stay in good health after swimming.<br />
<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong>These are monumental enough to visit many places in and around <a href="http://www.thailandtravelling.com/tag/bangkok" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with bangkok">Bangkok</a>, in no particular order, I made a list and a brief overview.</p>
<p><strong>Wat Po</strong> &#8211; <a href="http://www.thailandtravelling.com/tag/bangkok" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with bangkok">Bangkok</a>, another famous Wat, which is a tutor for Thai Massage.

It was interesting places that you can buy from suppliers indicate that on a daily basis.</p>
<p><strong>Chao praya River Cruises</strong> &#8211; Another nice thing to do is take a cruise along the Chao p raya. If Vai Ayyudhya to travel agencies, will probably recover the package includes: Van however; ayyudhya travel to <a href="http://www.thailandtravelling.com/tag/bangkok" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with bangkok">Bangkok</a> and back to his praya river Chao (RIBAOBUKINGUSU).

This site has been made famous in the West, and when I went to the king &#8220;Anna&#8221; from the film &#8220;Anna and the King&#8221;. Thailand believe that the history of hatred, why not become king farang their love with women. Capital is the former ayyudhya the Thai government, when they burned, the invasion of Burma in 1782 and moved to the new capital city of <a href="http://www.thailandtravelling.com/tag/bangkok" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with bangkok">Bangkok</a>. Ayyudhya ancient ruins, and a fantastic collection, it is really a breath happening (at least for me).<br />

<p><strong>The Centre emporiumshopping</strong> &#8211; Of course, if you want to go shopping in <a href="http://www.thailandtravelling.com/tag/bangkok" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with bangkok">Bangkok</a> is the place. There are several shopping malls in the most incredible that I have ever scene. The most famous shopping malls, large retail and sukhumvit soi 24 SAIAMUSENTA Shopping Center, which is accessible from both the system and some of BTS is to find the best (and most expensive) brand names world.

<p><strong>Thailand</strong> is a country of ancient traditions, of peaceful temples and modern urban excitement. With and independent history going back more than seven centuries, it has managed to absorb a variety of cultural influences and blend them into something uniquely and memorably <strong>Thai</strong>.  Each of its four major region offers a distinctive experience for the traveler in search of discovery. Misty mountains in the north shelter verdant valleys and exotic hill tribes, while in centers like <strong>Chiang Mai</strong> traditional customs and crafts have been preserved over generations. Along the picturesque coastlines of the east and south lie some of the world&#8217;s most beautiful beaches and off-shore islands, each with its own beauty. Scattered over the northeastern plateau are superb khamer monuments from the time of Angkor Wat and natural parks teeming with wild life.</p>
