Li Peh Island, Satun......beautiful island in Thailand

The weather is getting hotter now so it makes me want to go the the beach and have some activities. This post i want to introduce one of beautiful island in the south of Thailand, named "Li Peh Island, Satun ".

Li Peh Island is located in the area of Tarutao National Park. It is the first marine national park, and contains 51 islands that is praised as ASEAN's heritage.
and also be the home Urak Lawoi, the ancient folks. Li Peh island located near many other attractions: Adang-Rawi Island, Hin Ngam Island, Khai Island and etc

When the pioneer travelers reached the place, the roads were not as convenient as they are today. Those travelers were surprised with the greatness of nature and wanted to keep the place a secret, so that tourism would not come and destroy the beauty of the place that was then called Thailand's Maldives. After that, the secret was revealed, and the island started to be popularity. The white beach, the soft and warm sand, and the turquoise sea will make those who love the sea breeze and the sound of the waves overcome with the whole scenic. Also, you can see the seabed at the 2 meter depth and walk on 3 beaches that is said to be the paradise on the earth.


The best period to visit Li Peh Island is between November and April. Be prepare and ready to have fun at the beach.^^

Have u ever tried Thai food

Because now I am starving so I would like to talk about "food". I am sure that some of you might try Thai food before but many of my classmates never eat it. Actually, I wanna take all my friends to Thai restaurant but it’s very difficult so I’ll use this blog to promote Thai food to everyone.

Not only Thailand is a great place to visit but also Thai food is very popular in Asia, America or Europe. Thailand consists of 4 regions (North, Central, South and Northeast) which have difference in lifestyles, cultures, traditions, values, Thai accents and including difference in Food. Each of regions has their own style of food and taste because the using their local ingredients but all of them are really good!!!

I can say that Thai foods are very good for health. We usually put some herbs which can provide many benefit for health such as Lemon Grass: "Ta-khrai" in Thai .Therapeutic properties are as a diuretic, emmanagogue, antiflatulence, anti flu and antimicrobial agent.

Floating Market




I am sure that everyone love their own country and so do I.In my country,Thailand there are so many gorgeous places which I wanna share with you.
The first one is Floating Market, It is a market where you can get some foods,fruits including Thai dessert like every fresh market but the different thing is that this market is located along the canal and all merchants are selling their stuff by small boat.

This place is a ‘must-see’ destination and probably visited by nine out of every ten tourists who visit Thailand. Every morning, hundreds of boats crowd the market area. Most of them are paddled by women with picturesque straw hats. Visitors can find everything from vegetables and fruits to freshly-cooked noodle and souvenirs at this lively market.

Tip for trip
The best way of appreciating the floating market is to join it, to take a boat ride through the vendors to savour the smells and sounds as well as the sights. A little effort spent in getting away from the popular haunt and exploring along back canals is rewarded by other scenes of a traditional way of life that has scarcely changed over the years.
