Thai boxing is a local version of kickboxing, and it’s the most important sport in Thailand.
When I was visiting Thailand, there were lots of demonstrations in Bangkok, because people weren’t happy with the current political situation.
Tourists in general, should avoid places of demonstrations, because you never know how violent it’s going to be. Nothing bad happened to me, but it was sad to observe all these people.
Bangkok is officially named “Krung Thep Maha Nakhon”.
It’s a capital since 1782.
These days, it’s a large, tropical city with many different districts, and two huge airports (that sometimes causes confusion).
Yesterday, I showed you a typical picture of one of the temples in Bangkok; for today, I chose rather not so typical image of the city, however I like it. 🙂
The flag of Thailand has five horizontal stripes in the colors red, white, blue, white and red.
The colors apparently represent the blood of life (red), the purity of the Buddhist faith (white), and the monarchy (blue.)
The flag looks like that since 1917.
Welcome to the Kingdom of Thailand. 🙂
Have you been to Thailand? What are your memories?
I have to say, Thailand is far from being my favorite country; I think it’s overrated from many reasons. However, there are still nice, interesting and worth visiting places. And that’s what I’ll try to show you this month on my blog. Hopefully, you’ll like it. 🙂
Today, the last post about Sardinia on my blog.
How did you like my travel impressions about this big Italian island?
I have nice memories from Sardinia; it was interesting and relatively easy to travel through the island. Definitely, I enjoyed my holidays in Sardinia. 🙂
Tomorrow, we’re going “a bit” farther. 🙂
Stay tuned!
Castelsardo is a must-see town in Sardinia.
It’s lovely located on the hill by the sea.
You’ll find there castle and fortifications from the 12th century and many colorful houses.
I’m sure you’ll enjoy your time in Castelsardo and it’s very likely your camera will stay quite busy there. 🙂
Santa Teresa Gallura (Santa Teresa di Gallura or Santa Teresa) is a seaside resort on the northern coast of Sardinia. Nice colorful town, a harbor, a 11 m high 16th century watchtower (La Torre di Longonsardo) and sandy beaches, just relax here. 🙂
Arbatax is a small harbor town in Sardinia; it’s a nice and friendly place for a walk.
And, it’s my absolutely must-see in Sardinia, because of amazing Red Rocks (Rocce Rosse).
