Tourism in Thailand

Thailand is one of famous Asia places to travel. Tourists would like to go to temple, beach, and mountain and so on. The famous provinces are Bangkok (a capital of Thailand), Chiang Mai (the north of Thailand) and Phuket (the south of Thailand). Now a day, Thai government creates a lot of activity for available travel in Thailand every season. Thai government wants to encourage tourists focus on Thailand. So after that events are released, there have many new businesses occur in Thailand especially guide tour, bar, hotel, spy for tourist. Then Thailand has been come an entrainment country. However, it is a good benefit for country to gain high income but it still have some problems .The first of problem is some companies are emerged such as bar, spy, and hotel. That make some people in Thailand think education isn’t necessary to study. All of those jobs don’t require high quality but they give high revenue. The second of problem is high packet tour of Thai people travel. For example, if I want to choose to go some place in the south of Thailand, I can’t afford it in the short time because the price is triple, 10 years ago the price is just around $ 200 but now the price is around $ 600. The third of problem is effect of culture. Thailand becomes more free sex, especially, some place which near the entrainment area for tourist. Even though, Thai government begin to do some strictness at bar (such as the open time, the show and the age), it is too late. So one thing they can do to reduce this problem is to focus on old traditional Thailand.

Disneyland & Six Flags

Actually, I had been both of them, Disneyland & Six Flags. Before I went there, I thought Disneyland is as same as Six Flags because they are the place for group of people who want to enjoy with many machine in different park. Moreover, they are famous place for tourist. In fact, they are totally different. First reason is Disneyland isn’t exciting as Six Flags. Disneyland focus on dream and magic for kids, so if I want to find a breathtaking ride, I have never find in here. Even though Disneyland still has a park for adult, it isn’t exciting enough for me. Second reason is Disneyland is a bigger than Six Flags. They have a lot of park for customers which divide around 5 parks in Disneyland town by depending on target of customer. If I want to walk through every park, I have to go there early. Third reason is different feeling. Disneyland I will smile all day with a lot of show or take a picture with my favorite cartoon actor. Six Flags I will scream and laugh all day. However, they are different, I still love it. Hopefully, I will be there again and again.

My First Saturday of September

The first time I think I will stay at home to do my homework on this weekend. Especially, I plan to finish all of my homework on Saturday. So I woke up early in Saturday morning. I woke up around 8.00 am. Before I started doing my homework at 9.00 am, I took a shower and got a good breakfast. I did my homework until 12.30 am. My sister called me to go to have lunch outside with her family. At that time I didn’t know that it was my last time to do homework in this day. The first I didn’t know where we would go to have lunch, but I assumed that we will find some restaurant around Fullerton County. During My sister drove, I asked her that where will we go. My sister told that we would go Thai town at Los Angeles. Her asked make me surprise because it is too late for us to go to Thai town. However, it is too late to change her mind because we had already taken Free way 5. We discussed which Thai restaurant we will go on the long way. We chose some restaurant near Ban Khanom Thai, Thai desserts. After that I though, we would go back home. I was wrong. My sister wanted to go Santa Monica Beach. We walked around Promenade Street until 6.00 pm. After I came home, I was very tired.

First impression at ALP

I had enrolled in ALP, Fullerton for 1 year. I still remembered how nice teachers were, even though in the first day I was very nervous about how to communicate with my teacher and my class mate before I went to study. After I had finished the primary class of this program, I was surprise that everything I assumed it was wrong. I felt the time pass so fast for me in the first day. I was comfortable to communicate with them because the way teachers teach us reducing my pressure and helping her student know each other. However in this semester, I see a lot of thing, changed after I enrolled. Some process is so weird. I think ALP is changed to look international for people who will enroll in the future, but it still looks complicated. The first semester I had enrolled ALP just have 6 level and they didn’t have specific name of each level. Now a day, we have a specific name of it, so when I asked some international friends what they are level they will answer the name. Then I have to compare what they are level in real ALP level. I don’t think it is a good idea to have a specific name because every international student still know where they are after that,even though it look nice and polite.
