Nakorn Si Thammarat - a new experience away from Malaysia - Thailand Border

 The Place
A new place to visit to gain an experience of a different culture, scenery, food, society and of cause the power of nationality of the Thailand people.
Nakorn Si Thammarat is located in the Southern of Thailand which I still can't believe that my journey there is actually only quarter part (maybe it doesn't reach that part yet) of the 'Gajah Putih' country. That's portrayed, how big its country compared to my own, especially Perlis which once, was also part of the Siam territory. (itu cerita lama laa..)

The city has a much larger north to south extension than west to east, which dates back to its original location on a flood-save dune. Its has a very long straight business activities with a double story shop along the road that maybe the Siamese people over there do it as their home or business trade among them or foreigner.

As one of the most ancient cities of Thailand, Nakorn Si Thammarat contains and sustain their historical significance buildings as their symbol of Siamese people who got a strong nationality spirits.
 

The Scenery
I don't have much opportunity to take an appreciation picture to express how beautiful and calm this city was especially on my way in the Chang's car ( the taxi driver) which presented me with an extraordinary view along the highway.

The left and right of the highway is full of great natural landscape by the mother nature feels. About 4 hour from Malaysia-Thailand Border to this place, I feel that there's much more will be shown and get if I have the time to take a good shoot over there.

Maybe, many people have been many time in Hatyai or Bangkok, but I believe that only several people who love to travel by road, will reach here. It is not a tourism place because actually it doesn't have any tourism attraction, maybe. But the feel of being there, can not be describe. It is like winning some trophy., straight 'A' or pass a motorcycle test!

The Food

Sambal belacan, siput apa pun tak tau, 'aromatic rice' which very popular in Thailand and the seafood, that have been serve, does not  have much of a difference then in Hatyai or other places in Southern area in Thailand. But actually,  its also same with the Malaysian food, but just the taste, the way it cook and the 'Thai feel' was so awesome!
