水中竹筏景点吸睛 吹出来的！
水中竹筏景点吸睛 吹出来的！
那空那育府(Nakhon Nayok)空玛德瀑布-龙攀公园，日前在社交网站发布一组优美的河中竹床观景宣传图，从图片中清楚地看到清澈的河水、优美如画的风景，吸引很多网友想前去体验，一睹优美的观光美景。
话说网上的宣传照片实在优美，但现实与想象相差实在太大，有网友去了回来说，景色太差，水不清景不美，且周边还有很多苍蝇蚊子。
那空那育府直辖县龙攀公园的竹排河床在社交网站吸引很多网友浏览，点击浏览次数超过25万人次。
这组图片显示的是一幅风景优美、山清水秀、竹排河床上听水声的优美画面，吸引很多网友点击浏览，并说想去体验这优美的画面，且公园入场券才20铢，相当划算。
社交脸书网友Beach Still Pmb昨天（23日）说，因之前看到龙攀公园推出的竹排河床观光旅游景观很美，于是便在本月21日前往体验一番，但去到后看到的景观令人大失所望。
竹排河床安在凹凸不平的岩石边上，环境不干净、周围有很多的苍蝇。
此前，进出公园的道路也很难走，崎岖不平，有些还是泥土路。所以，建议没去过的朋友还是另选他处吧！
另外，本月18日，那空那育府镇管理组织主席本猜及军警等人前往龙攀公园调查，并控告该经营人侵占公共河流，没收其的所有物品，以及下令60天内拆除一栋建筑物。

Ancient Thai city is protected but still crumbling
Ancient Thai city is protected but still crumbling
Sprawling urban growth and water management problems are threatening conservation efforts at Thailand’s ancient city of Ayutthaya, experts say.
The Unesco World Heritage site located some 80km north of the capital, Bangkok, was once among the world’s wealthiest cities and a major trading port from the 14th to 18th centuries.
Today, the city attracts tourists from around the world who come to admire the ruins and stone Buddha statues at Ayutthaya, once the ancient capital of Thailand, then known as Siam.
However, poor urban planning and its impact on water management in the low-lying area pose a threat to the historic park, said Montira Horayangura Unakul, National Professional Officer with Unesco’s Culture Unit.
“Half the island is protected as a historic park and is also a world heritage site and the eastern half is where a lot of the modern development has taken place,” Montira said in an interview.
Rapid development has fuelled concern over the area’s capacity to defend against floods.
A view shows the ruins of the ancient city of Ayutthaya.
Devastating floods in Thailand in 2011, which killed more than 900 people and cost billions of dollars, hit Ayutthaya. Dozens of temples were inundated for weeks, although most suffered little damage.
“Once the waters receded there didn’t seem to be too much damage,” said Montira.
“However, after that we found residual effects for example to mural paintings.”

A lack of knowledge about traditional materials used at some sites is another problem that besets Ayutthaya and other heritage sites, including the awe-inspiring Angkor Wat temple complex in neighbouring Cambodia.
“An issue we are trying to address now is knowing what the ancient materials used in Ayutthaya were and what the composition of them was,” Montira said.
Thailand held an international conference, in collaboration with Unesco, in October to discuss conservation of brick monuments at the site.

Discovering Dvaravati
Discovering Dvaravati
A visitor takes a close look at the Dharmachakra Wheel at the U Thong National Museum in Suphan Buri.
The U Thong National Museum in Suphan Buri takes the visitor back through the millennia to an ancient Mon Kingdom
Suphan Buri province, 130 kilometres northwest of Bangkok, never lack ideas to attract visitors. The province continuously promotes various activities and attractions, among them the Suphan Buri Flower Festival showcasing tulips and other cold--climate flowers, the Promise of Love to celebrate Valentine's Day and the Candle Festival marking the Buddhist Lent. Those wanting to escape Bangkok for the weekend can enjoy the 100-year-old Samchuk Market, Wat Pa Lelai Worawihan, an old temple that is mentioned in the famous Thai literary work "Khun Chang Khun Pan" and the recently built Dragon Descendants Museum, which symbolises the close relationship between the Thais and Chinese.
It is also home to one of Thailand's less famous gems, the U Thong National Museum, which sits solemnly and largely unadvertised on Malaiman Road in U Thong district. Established in 1966, it houses precious artefacts from the Buddhist kingdom of Dvaravati.
Compared to the busy National Museum in Bangkok, which sees swarms of Chinese and European tourists, the U Thong National Museum is peaceful and laid back. The lack of tourists allows visitors to appreciate the artefacts at their own pace and there are no restrictions on photographs though the flash is not allowed.
The significance of U Thong, which literally means golden cradle, was recognised when Prince Damrong Rajanubhab, the Father of Thai History, visited Suphan Buri in 1903. He surveyed the ancient city of U Thong and later wrote about it in his official report and in his book, "Nithan Borankhadee".
Prince Damrong worked closely with French scholar Georges Coedes to classify unearthed artefacts from various historical sites in Thailand and the two historians came to the conclusion that the land on which present-day Thailand is situated was much older than the Khmer period.
They suggested that the artefacts were associated with the Dvaravati Kingdom, which was mentioned by Chinese Buddhist monk Hiuan-tsang in ancient chronicles, where he referred to the Buddhist kingdom of To-lo-po-ti (Dvaravati) as being situated to the west of Isanapura (Cambodia).
Specialists of ancient Chinese texts had already surmised that the "To lo po ti" - sometimes rendered "Duoluobodi" - probably derived from the Sanskrit word Dvaravati (meaning "with doors"), a name used for a town in Indian mythology.
The term Dvaravati was then used to indicate a kingdom - or a collection of city-states - encompassing a large part of the territories of what is today modern Thailand.
Coedes also suspected that Dvaravati art might have influenced Southeast Asian art and that its people were Mon, as traces of the language were evident in Lop Buri, Haripunjaya and perhaps even on an inscription discovered in Ratchaburi. He surmised that the Dvaravati Kingdom, which may have existed as early as the fifth century, declined under the pressure from both the Khmer and the Thai in the 11th century
In 1961, the Fine Arts Department further excavated and restored old structures scattered around U Thong. French art historian Jean Boisselier later excavated and studied the ruins in U Thong between 1964 and 1966, paving the way for U Thong to become a rich resource for Dvaravati studies.
Some of the artefacts excavated from the ancient city led academics to believe that U Thong, rather than Nakhon Pathom as previously thought, was where Buddhism was first introduced to Thailand. It is also believed to have been the centre of Buddhism, culture and the international marine trade port some 2,500 to 3,000 years ago.
Housing various excavated artefacts from the U Thong ancient city, the museum is thus a major learning centre for anyone interested in archaeology and history.
Two galleries in the first building display artefacts dating from the prehistoric era to the Dvaravati era. Of particular interest is a terracotta relief portraying three Buddhist monks carrying their alms bowls. The oldest Buddhist artefact to be found in Thailand, it is so beautifully rendered that the delicate pattern of the flowing robe transmits a sense of the breeze cooling the three monks.
"This set of Wheels of the Law or Dharmacakra, the rectangular supporting base and the eight-edged pillar is very precious and absolutely unique as it is the only complete set found in perfect condition in Thailand. Dharmacakra with protective or beneficent motifs and deer represent the first preaching of Buddha at Benares. We are very lucky to have excavated this piece from U Thong ancient city and exhibit it here," the museum officer tells the small group of tourists from Bangkok.
The Mon art of Dvaravati results from the synthesis of local cultural traditions and certain fundamental elements of India such as religion, languages and concept of royalty. These elements were transmitted to Southeast Asia along the commercial routes that linked these regions to the Indian sub-continent.
"The Sanskrit inscription engraved on copper is evidence that ancient people in this area were influenced by Indian culture. Roman coins and other ancient coins from China and Arabia are excellent archaeological indicators of ancient trade as they often give an idea of the place and the time they were created. Native coins with images of a conch and the sun were also found here. These coins are evidence that U Thong was an international marine trade hub," the officer continues.
One of the artefacts in perfect condition is the Gutu or Chandra Sala, a terracotta slab in the form of a window frame or arch. It is a part of the temple superstructure of ancient Indian design and represents paradise where the gods and goddesses live. The face in window motif has thick facial features characteristic of Dvaravati sculpture, curly hair, and an unalome on the forehead suggesting a combination of local and Indian art.
Also on show is a permanent exhibition of beads made of gold, baked coloured clay, Carnelian stones and accessories like earrings and pendants. The sophisticated technique used to produce those accessories underlines U Thong's position as a commercial hub as well as the fine craftsmanship in that era.
The second building features information on ethnic groups in Suphan Buri and the marine trade routes around ancient Thailand and while not as breathtaking as the first, is certainly well worth a trip out from Bangkok.

Bangkok hotels tighten security
Bangkok hotels tighten security
HOTELS in Bangkok have stepped up security measures in the wake of Monday's bombing at the Erawan Shrine in the centre of the city, which killed 20 people and injured 130 others. The Grand Hyatt Erawan Hotel, which is located next to the shrine, said in a statement that the safety and security of guests was its top priority.
The hotel has elevated security following the incident. All perimeters have been secured and all bags and luggage are being checked at each entrance. The property experienced some minor damage as a result of the incident and will continue to monitor the situation closely, said the hotel management.
Meanwhile, the Grand Hyatt Erawan Hotel is in full operation at this time, it added.
Nattakit Tangpoonsinthana, executive vice president for marketing at Central Pattana, said its flagship complex consisting of CentralWorld, Zen, and Centara Grand and Bangkok Convention Centre, located at the Ratchaprasong intersection, had increased the number of security guards by 20 per cent following the bomb blast in the area.
The company is also leveraging its space and the Skywalk by increasing the number of security reminders and adding precautionary measures inside and outside the complex. Security guards have been assigned to check visitors' bags, while all CCTV cameras have also been checked to ensure they operate properly, said the executive.
Following the lethal bomb blast at the Erawan Shine on Monday, there was a second blast on Tuesday under the Taksin BTS Skytrain station beside the Chao Phraya River.
There were no deaths or injuries as a result of the latter incident, as the device was misdirected and detonated harmlessly underwater.
"This [second] blast has rocked many luxury hotels located along the banks of the river. Hotels have begun to be fearful, but we have now introduced more security measures," said a member of staff at one of the hotels in the area.
The international and big local chain hotels located in the area are the Anantara Bangkok Riverside & Spa, the Chatrium Hotel Riverside, the Mandarin Oriental Bangkok, the Millennium Hilton, The Peninsula, the Ramada Plaza Bangkok Menam Riverside, the Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel & Towers, and the Shangri-La Hotel.
"For the Mandarin Oriental Bangkok, we can confirm that the safety and security of our guests and colleagues is of paramount importance at all times. Our comprehensive fire, life, health and safety protocols are firmly in place and we continue to cooperate with the local authorities regarding proactive security measures in and around our property," said a Mandarin Oriental Bangkok spokesperson. The InterContinental Bangkok, a luxury hotel in the Ratchaprasong area, said it was continuing to operate as normal.
However, the hotel has implemented its "security wise" protocol in the wake of Monday's blast, which entails security teams tightening up and adding security both within the building and outside.
"We are providing all guests with the latest information updates and also advising them to avoid going to blocked-off places," a hotel employee said, adding that the property had set aside rooms for staff in case of a crisis.
Meanwhile, a suspicious object was found yesterday at Nana BTS station, bringing fear to locals and tourists in the city-centre Sukhumvit area.
Minor Hotel Group said it was taking additional security action at its Anantara, Oaks and Avani hotels in Bangkok after Monday's explosion.
Primary actions include bringing together a crisis management team from the property and corporate offices and activating the company's crisis communication plan, which is in place.
Measures taken include personal checks with every single guest; providing regular updates on the situation for guests; providing a 24-hour central point of contact; taking additional safety and security measures and monitoring the situation closely; providing alternative options for guests who may wish to transfer to another hotel in the group; and communicating with agents in Thailand and outside.
Meanwhile, in the wake of Monday's atrocity, the authorities are increasing safeguards and security measures at major tourist attractions, public areas, airports, as well as zoos.
The Stock Exchange of Thailand Index rebounded yesterday following an almost 30-basis-points drop on Tuesday after Monday's bomb blast and the attempted secondary attack, while the baht has remained stable at around 35.50 per US dollar.
The country's main stock index closed at 1408.74 points on Monday before declining to 1372.61 on Tuesday, but was able to rebound by 6.51 basis points to close at 1379.12 yesterday.
The baht was trading at 35.536 per US dollar on Monday and 35.539 on Tuesday, before continuing its depreciating trend against the greenback to 35.580 as of 5pm yesterday, due to the strengthening of the dollar.

Bus fares to rise in Bangkok from Tuesday
Bus fares to rise in Bangkok from Tuesday
From Tuesday, February 10, the blanket Bt8 fare for conventional city buses under Mass Rapid Transport Authority concessions will be increased by Bt1, while fares for air-conditioned buses will go up by Bt1 for every step of service distance, after the Transport Ministry approved fare rises yesterday.
Phattarawadee Klomjaroon, head of the Association of Operators of City Buses, said the Bt1 raise was not enough for operators, saying the bus subsidy of Bt30,000 was granted when the Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) price was Bt8.50 per kilogram. She said the subsidy should be Bt80,000 because the current NGV price was Bt13 per kilogram.
She said a further fare hike was possible as the Transport Ministry said it would consider a request by operators after a one-month evaluation.

Up close with the dolphins
Up close with the dolphins
Drive to the Bang Pakong River in Chachoengsao province and make peace with the dolphins.
Every November and December, the Irrawaddy dolphin, the Pacific humpback dolphin, the Bottlenose dolphin and other species of the same large family visit the estuary to feast on the catfish. And they don't mind witnesses to their breakfast either, making this an ideal place for a day trip. The best place to watch the dolphins is from the fishing village of Tha Kham. Boat trips can also be arranged. Call the community-based tourism office at (038) 573 411-8.

华欣惊现毒水母群 不宜游泳
华欣惊现毒水母群 不宜游泳
华欣海滨沙滩昨天（1日）出现大量的水母被海浪卷上岸，这些水母个头较大，而且五颜六色，但当地官员指出，其中不少水母含有剧毒刺针，接触到皮肤重则会立即有类似「烧伤」的症状，轻则有皮肤刺痛过敏感觉，提醒游客不要直接触碰这些大水母，如果在水中遇到则应保持距离，以免受伤。
华欣市长诺蓬昨天出动工作人员到华欣海滨沙滩巡查，并收拾残留在沙滩上的水母。据当地清洁部门透露，受到天气影响，该片海域出现大量的水母群，并被海浪卷上沙摊。同时浅海中还可以看到大量的水母群，这些水母个头较大，部分水母直径达80公分，部分有蓝色、黄色或五颜六色，游客看到会觉得很稀奇，殊不知这些水母在当地被称为「火水母」和「碗状水母」，其中火水母具有剧毒刺针，若人的皮肤直接接触到水母的表面或触手，则会有严重刺痛的感觉，皮肤出现大面积过敏发炎，就像被火烧伤。
据悉，当地海域出现的水母有多个种类，毒性较轻的水母会导致皮肤发疹，但如果不慎接触到眼睛等部位，则可能造成重伤，所以提醒游客遇到水母应「敬而远之」。幸好昨天不是周末假日，到海滨游玩的游客较少，加上下雨有风浪，很少有游客游泳。无论如何，当地海滨近期海水较为清澈，水质适合游泳，但要非常小心水母。
华欣市长表示，已经下令在海滨张贴公告，以中文、泰文和英文提醒游客近期不要游泳，并加紧清理沙滩上遗留的水母。

防敲诈游客 差庵严管海上项目
防敲诈游客 差庵严管海上项目
佛丕府差庵县【Cha-am】县长努甘昨天（29日）透露，差庵县政府与水上摩托艇业者联手，打击欺诈游客行为，维护游客合法权益，整顿旅游风气。
努甘指出，差庵海滩水上摩托艇俱乐部已经成立20多年，该俱乐部的主要职责是监督及管制水上活动项目服务，预防不良商家敲诈游客。该俱乐部明确规定各种海上活动的价格，包括香蕉船、水上摩托艇等，并且也明确了违法规定的处罚条例，包括辱骂游客、服务恶劣等，切实保护游客的合法权益，让游客信赖差庵旅游业。
国家旅游局差庵办事处主任昂拉逸表示，该办事处不定时前往差庵海岸视察，主要调查业者是否服务周到，是否顾及游客的人身安全，游客租用摩托艇是否给游客配备安全帽及救生衣等，主要是一些细节问题，因为发生意外往往就是因为疏忽了细节。
差庵海滩水上摩托艇俱乐部主席表示，目前差庵海滩共有125家水上摩托艇服务门店，业者主要是当地人。为维护差庵4公里长的海滩，该俱乐部将海滩分为6段，每一段都有专门的负责人，一旦发现问题首先追责负责人。

大城府宋干节前奏 人象同High
大城府宋干节前奏 人象同High
泰国各地下周将迎来传统宋干节（泼水节），中部大城府昨天（9日）上演「宋干节人象同欢」前奏，该府故都古城大城园的30头大象将在13-15日与观光客打水仗。为让当地居民与观光客尽情泼水，该府还设50多处免费发水点，提供1200多个大桶的清洁水给民众使用。
大城府直辖县的市长颂嵩少尉昨天主持新闻发布会，宣布该府将办出另一番特色宋干节，誓与曼谷争峰头。本月13日将是宋干节及传统泰历新年，在地方行政管理机构的协助下，大城故都公园内的大象园将出动30头大象，与观光客打水仗，并推出「故都宋干节人象同欢」创意新主题活动，以此打造一项宋干节品牌观光形象。
在昨天的新闻发布会上，数头大象被彩绘成各种「动物」，与参加宋干庆典造势宣导的工作人员及观光客一起相互泼水，大象则直接用鼻子吸水后喷向游客。工作人员表示，游客不必担心大象鼻子喷出来的水会不卫生，因为参加该活动的30头大象都事先通过体检，而且进行鼻内清洗。
虽然目前是旱季，但大城府主办单位已为13-15日的宋干节三天泼水狂欢备好足够的水源，从附近一条河引水进入古城区。并准备在市区50个地点，由大城市政府准备清洁的自来水免费发给参加活动的游客，初步准备了1200桶自来水，每桶容量为200立升。除了打水仗狂欢以外，还在那历萱路举行「泡沫派对」，吸引年轻人参加。
无论如何，大城府作为拥有上千年历史的故都古城，仍注重沿袭传统。该府古城区多处古佛寺均举行泰历新年礼佛活动，让游客及当地居民全面体验宋干节的传统文化风俗氛围。
