Tomato Festival

Posted on March 23, 2015 by The Traveller

La Tomatina is a Spanish festival in Buñol where participants throw tomatoes at each other. It is said to be the biggest food fight in the world. From the festival’s origin as a food fight between friends in the 1940s, it has become a famous tourist attraction. I paid 10 Euro to join in the flight.

Thousands of people from all over the world gathered in a narrow alley in a small town in Bunol for the once a year tomato fight. I was one of them. This is a life-time experience for me. Worth the trip!

The Flood in Bangkok

Posted on February 11, 2015 by The Traveller

I arrived from Beijing to Bangkok on a late evening flight. Surprisingly, certain places in Bangkok were flooded and the taxi refused to take me to my destination. Somehow I got a taxi driver to take me to a dry place to stay for the night, with an over-charge. The next day I moved to Khao San area and stayed there for a few days. These pictures are taken somewhere near Khao San road.

Hua Hin 华欣

Posted on December 8, 2013 by The Traveller

I took the train from the Donmuang railway station (just opposite the Don Mueang International Airport) to Bangkok. The train ticket is only 5 baht (20 cents Singapore) for a 2-hour ride; of course the train is old and without air-con. From Bangkok Chinatown, I took another train to Hua Hin.

Hua Hin has the best railway station in Thailand as the station is built for the royal families. Hua Hin is a rather small place and I think staying there for 2 nights is more than enough unless you want to visit the bars often.

There is a train library near the station. Surprising I saw a Singapore flag.

Though Hua Hin is known as a beach resort but I do not recommend you to waste your time at the beach as there is no sea sports. There was merely less than one full hand count of people at the beach when I was there.

I stayed in this Les Bobo’s backpacker when I was in Hua Hin.

Food is all around the place where I stayed. There is also a lively night market.

During the day, I just walk around exporing the places.

Two years later, I went back to Hua Hin with Derek and Christine. This time, we discovered more places of fun and excitment in Hua Hin.

We took a tuk-tuk and asked the drver to show us the interesting places.

We went this food centre for a late lunch.

We stayed in this Tid Tarad Hostel. I stayed with some foregners and both Derek and Christine stayed in anotehr room. There are food, such as fruits, bread, nuts and instant noddles, provided free for the guests all day round.

We also visited the old palace and the man-made flooding market.

Before we left for the next destination, we went the train coffee station to have a taste of the coffee in Hua Hin.

Ayutthaya

Posted on October 20, 2013 by The Traveller

I took the bus from Bangkok’s Northern Bus Terminal (Moh Chit) to Ayutthaya for a day trip. Ayutthaya is worth a visit if you have not been there. From Ayutthaya, I took the train back to Bangkok.
