Bangkok - city of angel

'Bangkok' is the name of Thailand's capital. The meaning is 'city of angel'. Last weekend I went up to the tallest building in Bangkok name 'BaiYok Tower'. I've got a good view that I've never seen before.

Seagull... far away from its home

Once when I was child, my parent took me to the place where we can see the seagull called 'Bangpoo'. Bangpoo is far from Bangkok just around 30 mins drive. When I was first at this place it so impressed me since I can see many kinds of seagull as well as can have a great dinner at that place. After that I still went there for sometime to take a fresh breath and let my mind went with the wind to relax. But, I'd never had chance to take a photo of the seagull. Untill the last time, I went there just for taking photos and I got whatever I wanted. However, I'll go there again when I have time...

The seagull come to this place every winter. They evacuated from the cold climate area to the tropical area where Thailand is one of the place for them. There are more than 3,000 seagulls and many kinds of its coming to Thailand. And here is the one of its destination.

Therefore, at the period of October to the early of May, Many of Thai people like to come to see them and take some photos of them.

The result of war

When I look at these photos, it make me sad. These are photographies of the former capital of Thailand named 'Ayuthaya'. The historical record said that this city used to be the most beautiful city in this region at the time. The people had a good life, the hapiness all over the city. However, the war among the neighboring country always occurred, epecially between Thailand and Myanmar. The king at the time needed to occupy the other.

Around 250 years ago, the Myanmar army invaded to Ayuthaya, just wanted to totally occupied and destroyed the city. They spent around 1 year to do that. Finally Thailand was occupied by the Myanmar, then they destroyed everything... nothing remaining. But the Myanmar could not occupied Thailand for so long. Just around 7 months later, Thai soldier name 'Phraya Tak' together with his force came back to Ayuthaya and took it back from the Myanmar. Then, Thailand never been a colony of any country anymore.

One thing I realised after visited to Ayuthaya is the war never been good for the mankind... It destroys everything - life, happiness, smiling, beautiful, and much more. Let's have a peacefull all over the world.

For the New Year occasion, I wish to have a peaceful anywhere anytime, and wish you all very happy all the time.
