Border town in Ranong, Thailand a mix of great food and culture.
Driving through Thailand and discovering things we have never seen. Too much to see. This border town offers a great variety of Chinese, Burmese, Muslim, and Southern spicy Thai food.

Wat Hong Thong Temple, Song Khlong, Bang Pakong, Chachoengsao,Thailand. ( 2 )
Wat Hong Thong Temple, Song Khlong, Bang Pakong, Chachoengsao.
It is called Wat Hong Thong which means the Golden Swan in Thai. I found this Temple somewhat amusing at first because at first sight it resembled a pier theatre, I expected someone playing the organ while rising from out of the floor. But when there, I found it an unusually serene Temple, with the structure being built over water. At the far end there is also a memorial for Prince Chumphon who is considered a patron saint for fishermen. Not many Temples in Thailand are built this way and it was strange to see but a marvellous concept and well worth a visit to this Temple. If you wish to travel by car, you need to drive down Highway 3 from Paknam or Samut Prakan. You need to go past Bang Pu Seaside Resort and also the fishing town of Klong Dan. A short while after the town, just after you cross the border into Chachoengsao, you will see a sign for a road on the right that leads to Wat Hong Thong.
Having visited this Wat some 6 years ago in 2009, I decided to see how things had changed. Some boardwalks had been added to make walking round safer and better. But the main work going on was the huge building to the right of the old temple structures.
This new addition is very large and must be costing a huge amount of money. The site was still under construction and therefore many cement trucks builders material were being delivered the day I went there. However you can see from the photos its a structure that will greatly add to the attraction for visiting this beautiful and unusual temple set in the lovely province of Chachoengsao.
The day I revisted was 15th March 2015 the same day I visited Wat Saman Rattanaram on the Bang pakong river and Wat Sothon Wararam Worawihan temple. It was a busy day trying to get round all the attractions.
However I went by my friends taxi so he did the driving and knew ( this time ) where all the places were. This time I went inside many of the temples buildings I did not see last visit. The Chinese section of this temple was big and attractive, and went up three floors. So a good viewing point was to be had at the top floor.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Tenasserim Hills or Tenasserim Range (Burmese: တနင်္သာရီ တောင်တန်း, [tənɪ̀ɴθàjì tàʊɴdáɴ]; Thai: ทิวเขาตะนาวศรี, RTGS: Thio Khao Tanao Si, pronounced [tʰīw kʰǎw tā.nāːw sǐː]; Malay: Banjaran Tanah Seri/Banjaran Tenang Sari) is the geographical name of a roughly 1,700 km long mountain chain, part of the Indo-Malayan mountain system in Southeast Asia.
Despite their relatively scant altitude these mountains form an effective barrier between Thailand and Burma in their northern and central region. There are only two main transnational roads and cross-border points between Chumphon and Tak, at the Three Pagodas Pass and at Mae Sot. The latter is located beyond the northern end of the range, where the Tenasserim Hills meet the Dawna Range. Minor cross-border points are Sing Khon, near Prachuap Khiri Khan, as well as Bong Ti and Phu Nam Ron west of Kanchanaburi. The latter is expected to gain in importance if the planned Dawei deepwater port project goes ahead, along with a highway and a railway line between Bangkok and that harbor.The southern section of this extensive chain of mountains runs along the Kra Isthmus into the Malay peninsula almost reaching Singapore. Many rivers have their source in these mountains, but none of them are very long.
