Rap Bua Festival en Thaïlande

Posted on by

Le Rap Bua Festival ou Yon Bua Festival (ประเพณีรับบัวหรือโยนบัว) est une chose unique en Thaïlande, vous pourrez avoir ici la description de ce qu’il est, ma vision personnelle de cette fête, ainsi qu’une série de photos, puis, je vous expose mes recherches qui m’ont permises de savoir qui était célébré ce jour.

Pour cette fête bouddhiste, les croyants viennent pour jeter des Dok Bua (des fleurs de lotus) en offrande sur le bateau qui transporte cérémonieusement une statue du Bouddha vénéré. Appelée Luang Poh To หลวงพ่อโต, cette représentation de Bouddha est abritée par le temple Wat Bang Phli Yai Nai à Samut Prakan วัดบางพลีใหญ่ใน (สมุทรปราการ)

Le Wat Chaloem Pra Kiat et le parc contigu près de Bangkok

Posted on by

Pour faire ma recherche d’espace vert à Bangkok, j’ai la chance d’avoir maintenant accès aux cartes sur internet car il est très difficiles d’avoir des renseignements sur ce sujet. Surtout que j’aime les vrais espaces verts dans lesquels il est possible de se promener et que je ne trouve pas d’intérêt à ceux qui sont grands comme un mouchoir de poche.

Ainsi, j’ai pu découvrir le très agréable parc Chaloem Kanchanaphisek qui jouxte le Wat Chaloem Pra Kiat.

20 avril 2015 : 41° à Bangkok.

Posted on by

The 20 avril 2015, il a fait une chaleur exceptionnelle à Bangkok : 41° celsius soit 106° fahrenheit.

Il faut remonter au temps de l’élection de John F. Kennedy à la Maison Blanche, il y a 54 ans, pour connaître une pareille chaleur à Bangkok dans le quartier de Don Muang voir ici.

The demonstrations in Bangkok : Shame on all French journos.

Posted on by

I write this because I am so shocked to read reports of most French newspapers on what happens in Bangkok, it does not reflect what is experienced here.
They probably want to sensationalize things so they write anything. They refer to the exception to derive a general rule. One has the impression that they embroider on writing gives a recess without inquiring or come on site to see what is happening.

Visit Southern Thailand

Posted on by

A visit to southern Thailand for three weeks :

Do not yet know the south of Thailand and its beaches are so many foreigners come, I decided to make a trip to get an idea.
I wanted above all to visit and see most things and places to respond to those who ask me advice.
I also tried to make the most of all the beautiful things and great opportunities that are available in this country. I also wanted to realize that the presence of foreigners had destroyed too beautiful Thai-style qualities or beautiful landscapes.
Do not have time to see everything, I chose to visit the coast of the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand to Surat Thani Songla and I will return to visit the interior of the country with its stunning national parks and other times his mountains.

It is truly amazing to see France hindsight.

Posted on by

Back to Bangkok after a family Christmas
⁃ What a pity to see the degradation of the country where he live!
⁃ Censure is stronger than ever.
⁃ All are set up so that the individual does not see what happens.
⁃ Once inventive solutions were people who were acclaimed and rewarded. Today they are ridiculed and imprisoned.
⁃ The French are proud of what has been done in the past but no one reacts to what is imposed on them now.
⁃ The maturity was never a quality of French people, but now those who are able to see, judge and act appropriately are never released.
⁃ The fables of Jean de La Fontaine must not be learned or at least not included. But powerful that strip are now out of France and all French will be deprived of their acquired.

Fortunately, I am lucky to have friends and family who makes me want to come back with a girl who made me the excellent French cuisine.

Hello

Posted on by

Having a lot of pictures since I'm here and having discovered another way of looking at life, I decided to create a blog to benefit others.

So here I am to experiment with wordpress which seems good, but I'll modify it to make my sauce.
All this instead of going to enjoy the pool!

Is it reasonable?
