My podcast "Thai New Year"

Hello Hello Everyone, and welcome to my podcast "Thai New Year"My name is Thassanee Kerdrien and my podcast's name "Thai New Year"and it review some of my favorite activities in Thailand and today I will be reviewing the famous activitie "Rod Num Dom Hoa" It's the name one of the activities . Did you know that we have the apecific name for Thai New Year that's call "Song Kran". It's one of Thai festival lot of fun and lot of traveler come and visit this festival.So,now! I'm going to tell you more about Song Krann,So please listen up!

Hi Everyone,

Back to my podcast Thai New Year! Thai New Year or Song Kran is the big festival in Thailand. Most of Thai people would like to celebrate it with their family. It will be in April 12-14 in every year. It's the most important for Thai people to spend time with family because it's a big holiday and everyone will have stay home and enjoy the time and go eat out but some family will go to different places for the whole holiday. The most obvious celebration of Songkran is the throwing of water upon others. Thais roam the streets with containers of water or water guns. In addition, many Thais will have small bowls of beige colored sold cheaply and mixed with water which is then smeared on the faces and bodies of random passersby as a blessing for the new year. City officials close off many sections of the street thoroughfares for the festival disallowing all vehicular traffic save for ice trucks and fire engines which also partake in the watering festivities.  It is very common to have groups of Thais post themselves at the side of roads or corners of intersections with garden hoses or large new plastic trash cans filled with water (typically ice cold) that is used to drench sidewalkers and random vehicles (taxis, cars, motorcycles, tuk tuks) that come within watering range. This sort of festivity, however, was not always the main activity of this festival. Songkran is traditionally a time to visit and pay respects to elders, including family members, friends, neighbors, and monks. The songkran festival is counted as a new life festivity in which many around the world take part in, but mostly focused in the country of Thailand.

Besides the throwing of water, people celebrating Songkran as a Buddhist festival may also go to a temple to pray and give food to monks. They may also cleanse buddha images from household shrines as well as Buddha images at monasteries by gently pouring water mixed with a Thai fragrance over them. It is believed that doing this will bring good luck and prosperity for the New Year. In many cities, such as Chiang Mai , the Buddha images from all of the city's important monasteries are paraded through the streets so that people can toss water at them. In northern Thailand, people may carry handfuls of sand to their neighborhood monastery in order to recompense the dirt that they have carried away on their feet during the rest of the year. The sand is then sculpted intoground thand decorated with colorful flags.Some people make New Year resolutions - to refrain from bad behavior, or to do good things. Songkran is a time for cleaning and renewal. Besides washing household Buddha images, many Thais also take this opportunity to give their home a thorough cleaning. They believe that cleaning mean welcome the new good things for the next year.

"That's all for today. I hope you will enjoy my podcast and like it and want to go to Thailad for celebrating the Thai New Year! Thanks for listening everyone",and stay tuned for next podcast!!

They just have only a backpack and map this is enough for them to travel in Thailand and have fun.
Kho Chang is a fun place to visit and had so many travelers come for vacation.Kho Chang had lot of activities to do. Once when you get there you have to find the boat taxi to bring you to the Kho Chang. It will takes you about 40minutes.While you are on the boat you will enjoy with taking a pictures and see the beauty of the green clear water and all the fishes. They are very awesome and not too long you will see the beaches with the white sand and all the coconut trees. It's makes you feel like you are at Hawaii. For the place to stay they have so many choices to choose so, they will have hotel, motel, a vacation house, resort and ect. for you.

For the place to stay I highly recommend a vacation house because you stay at the people house it more like home that they will share you some spot of their house with you. You can use their kitchen and bathroom it is very convenient and the price very reasonable and affordable. You can use their stuff as well. Once you find the place to stay then we are going to see what you are interested to it they have so many fun thing to welcome you to help you enjoy yous time for example.

Some hotel will have night cub so that you can enjoy with your drink, chit chatting, watching some games.In the morning you will enjoy seeing the sunrise it is very beautiful and you also can do some exercise, jogging, swimming, sun shower,reading in the sun.

Kho Chang is the popular place to visit beside Bangkok and it is not so far away for the international airport it's the the the tourist should come to visit because if you come will know how beautiful it is? and how nice the people are?

Try making it at home with this easy Thai Green Curry recipe! It's easier, cheaper and better than eating it out! Here you go the recipe for Green curry.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp. cooking oil of your choice
  • 2 cans of coconut milk (14 ounces), the Chao Koh brand is my fav
  • 1 c. water
  • 3-6 tbsp. Thai green curry paste, Mae Anong is a good one
  • 1.5 lbs of pork or chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 1 c. frozen or fresh shelled peas, or small pea eggplants
  • 1 ib. small Thai eggplants, cut in quarters, or 2 long Asian eggplants cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 fresh kaffir lime leaves
  • fish sauce to taste
  • 1-2 tbsp palm sugar, or brown sugar, to taste
  • 1 c. fresh Thai sweet basil with flowers, or sub with other basil you have on hand

Instructions

  1. Add cooking oil to large pot and warm it.
  2. Be careful not to shake up your coconut milk because you want the thick cream to stay on top. Spoon out the thick cream from each can into the large pot and heat over medium-heat.
  3. Reduce until it looks bubbly like melted marshmallows.
  4. Add curry paste and fry for a few minutes until its fragrance soothes your soul and makes you smile.
  5. Pour in the rest of the milk, and water and bring to a boil.
  6. Add the meat and pea eggplants, if you somehow found them (I never have). If using fresh or frozen peas, don't add them yet or they will disintegrate, lesson learned.
  7. Return to a boil.
  8. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes uncovered.
  9. After simmering, add the Thai eggplants, frozen or fresh peas (if using) and kaffir lime leaves.
  10. Taste the curry. If you think it needs more salt, add fish sauce to taste. I like to add palm sugar because I like my curry a bit sweeter since coconut milk lends itself to that.
  11. Simmer a few more minutes until the eggplants and peas are tender.
  12. Stir in the basil and cook one more minute and turn off the heat.
  13. Serve with steamed jasmine rice.
  14. Enjoy!
Thai people believe that when they got sick and had a cold they would like to eat something hot and spicy because after they eat they will feel better.The spicyness could take away the cold."That's all for today.Thank you for listening everyone, and stay tuned for my next podcast!"

Survival School in thailand

Survival School in Thailand.In Thailand has so many area that need School one part of it I would say in E-Sann there are not so many school because people there so poor and they can not afford all the childrens to go to school and all the kids have to help out the parents work to earn the living they need food, cloth, medicine. They have to work so hard and they don't have time to school.

The resons why I want the survival school in E-Sann because I want all the childrens to go to school so that they can learn all the stuff and they will have opportunity to get a good job in their futher.
