Naval Gazing

A day in Samut Prakan will give you a chance to catch up on the history of the Royal Thai Navy

Guns, a submarine, torpedoes, a seaplane and a tank are just some of the exhibits at the Naval Museum in Samut Prakan. The museum offers a unique insight into the long and colourful history of the Royal Thai Navy.
On Sukhumvit Road, opposite the sprawling Royal Thai Navy Academy, the museum is a treasure trove of artifacts and memorabilia, from weapons and models of ancient warships to remnants of royal barges.

In 1891, the first telephone service was introduced, connecting the Ministry of Defence in Bangkok with Phra Chulachomklao Fortress in Samut Prakan. The telephone highly improved communication between Bangkok and this strategic fort, enabling instant reports to be sent by naval personnel of hostile foreign activities on the Chao Phraya.

After the short briefing, we proceeded to the main entrance of the museum building. As one steps inside the narrow hallway, there is little indication of what is to come. The first few rooms are dedicated to King Taksin the Great and Prince Chumphon. Exhibits of their personal belongings, such as handwritten manuscripts, a pipe for smoking tobacco and a compass, are interspersed with modern paintings of King Taksin on horseback and old ships sailing on turbulent seas.

On the opposite side of the hall is a display of weaponry that gun enthusiasts will find truly mind-blowing. Exhibits include everything from rifles, handguns and cannon, to shells and edged weapons, some dating back to the Vietnam War. Also on display are a selection of mortars, along with machine-guns and naval shells. Some of the oldest weapons date back to the mid-1930s.

A display of various bayonets also receives a lot of attention from visitors. As photography is allowed, visitors can take photos of themselves with their favourite weapons.

On the ground floor of the adjoining building are exhibits on past naval battles, including torpedoes, the country's first lighthouse and royal barges dating back to the reign of King Rama V. One of the wooden barges boasts an artistically carved royal emblem.

In my thought, there are very attractive show that can related to the life in the past. It shows a lot of useful stuff, and all of these stuff has been told about their properties. That make a new generation know what was going on in the past and what were these weapon. They are giving the knowledge and they are very useful

Thailand hope to defeat Kiwis in September

Thailand believe they can defeat New Zealand in the Davis Cup Asia/Oceania Zone Group 2 final in September. Thailand manager Taweesak Silvakul admired his players Kittipong Wachiramanowong, Weerapat Doakmaiklee, Sonchat Ratiwatana and Sanchai Ratiwatana for giving their all in the triumph yesterday. He also praised captain Paradorn Srichaphan, the former world number nine, whose experience was a major factor behind the win. Taweesak can defeat against New Zealand as Thailand's top player Danai Udomchoke is expected to return after a long lay-off. "if we have Danai, defeating New Zealand is not too difficult."he said.

This news is very useful for Thais who are playing sport. It is make me so proud of being a part or Thailand. I think sport is the best way to exercise. It also make people get healthy and Tennis is the one of the most popular sport in Thailand,it is common for all of the world.


Sea turtles in Chiang Mai


Half of the 169 sea turtle eggs are going to break and become a little sea turtles at Chiang Mai Zoo aquarium. This is the first time that endangered animals have been hatched. Eggs are the part of this festival, between the zoo and Navy's Sea Turtle Conservation Center. The other of remaining eggs will hatched in next few days. The conservation centre will nourish the newly hatched turtles for five to six months before releasing them to the open sea.The turtle festival was arranged to raise awareness of the plight of the endangered shelled animal and to encourage people to get involved in conservation efforts.
In my critical thinking, Thailand doesn't have many interesting animals they would like to involved in conservation efforts. Also Sea turtles, along with other turtles and tortoises, they are easy to have them in the aquarium. Sea turtles play key roles in two ecosystem types that are critical to them as well as to humans—oceans and beaches/dunes.They are friendly, but Marine turtles are caught worldwide, although it is illegal to hunt most species in many countries.A great deal of intentional marine turtle harvests worldwide are for food.

Many parts of the world have long considered sea turtles to be fine dining, and Thailand does it too.

Drilling concessions strongly opposed

What reminds you of Koh Samui - a world-class tourist destination legendary for its music festivals and pricey holiday homes for celebrities such as tennis player Justine Henin Hardenne and football coach Sven-Goran Eriksson? Well, Koh Samui is not only about sand, sea and fun in the sun. It is now also linked with oil exploration - something that is not so ravishing, and so unlike this beautiful resort island.

TOGETHER: Thousands of villagers formed a human chain around Koh Samui to show their stance against oil exploration projects.

Last week Koh Samui made it into the media limelight once again, but not in a favourable way.

Last Saturday, locals, tourists and members of the Samui tourism industry staged a protest against the oil exploration plan. Thousands of people linked hands to try and form a human chain along the island's 52km-long ring road.

Such a mass demonstration is out of character on an island famous for its festive ambience. Yet their frustration is well justified.

My own thought, doing like this activity is the one of the most important idea that will attractive more foreigner to come and visit, this way we will gain up more country's profit. This event makes me think about when Thailand has Peace disaster rehabilitation.On that time,Thais are very unity. They love each other and also help each other too. They know how to prepare and they learn more about the truth of life. 2-3 years ago when Tsunami hit Thailand, my uncle was there and he told me that he knew how did people feel when they lost everything.

Exports-will-propel-gdp-up-7

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has expressed confidence that a growing export sector will help lift economic growth to at least 7% this year.

Addressing a 90th anniversary event at the Commerce Ministry yesterday, Prime Minister Abhisit urged its officials to encourage the development of a creativeeconomy in the agriculture and service sectors. KITJA APICHONROJAREK

"The economy grew more than 10% in the first half on the back of strong exports. Exports should continue to expand in the third and fourth quarter," the premier said yesterday at a fair held by the Commerce Ministry to mark its 90th anniversary.

However, he admitted export growth for the rest of 2010 may be slower, as comparisons in the first half were to a very low base in early 2009 when the global recession was at its worst.

Thai exports in July grew for the ninth month on an annualised basis, but slowed from the month before. The value rose 20.6% from a year earlier to US$15.57 billion, after June's 46.3% year-on-year surge to a record of $18.04 billion.

Growth slowed due to a drop in shipments of rice, fruits and vegetables, and gems and jewellery. As well, exports started recovering in July last year when the economy started to rebound.

The premier urged the Commerce Ministry to help the private sector in doing business and play a key part in nurturing a creative economy, particularly for agricultural and service sectors.

The ministry is also being encouraged to outline a prudent strategy on international trade agreements and underline regional co-operation as to ensure fair trade and consumer protection.

Payungsak Chartsutthipol, chairman of the Federation of Thai Industries, said growth above 7% was highly likely should the government settle the Map Ta Phut environmental issues and restore the investment and trade climate.

The National Economic and Social Development Board will release official first-half economic data on Monday.

"Exports are expected to record 20% growth this year according to the Commerce Ministry," Mr Payungsak said. "Several products have fared better than expected, especially automobiles as Asean economies have thrived."

He said the private sector was not too worried about the strengthening baht because other currencies in the region were moving the same way, since the economies of the United States and Europe remain weak.

The Commerce Ministry set an export growth target of 10-15% for 2011 to ensure GDP grows by at least 7% in 2011, said minister Porntiva Nakasai.

In my own personal thinking, Growth is slower to export in this movement but the government will support crop and service businesses to increases exporting. Chairman of the Federation of Thai Industries said it will grow more than 7% in this year. They guessed it will be 20% are growing in some businesses such as mobile and engine. The private businesses owner not worried about rate of money because money rate in many counties in Europe and American are weakness. In the present, people need to know more about finance and business, so they can gain their own profit. Finances are becoming more important , I guess that in the future people have to know it, not just people but also student,too.

NSC denies subway bomb claim

There are no intelligence reports pointing to a possible bomb attack on Bangkok's underground train system(MRT), as claimed by the opposition Puea Thai Party, National Security Council secretary-general Thawil Pliensri said on Monday.

Puea Thai spokesman Prompong Nopparit has claimed that the government security agency had received fresh information about a plot to bomb the subway in September or October. He claimed this would be used as a reason to further postpone the general election.

"Mr Prompong did not attend meetings of the Centre for the Resolution of the Emergency Situation (CRES) and we have received no reports about a planned bombing as claimed by the Puea Thai Party," Mr Thawil said.

Security units were keeping a close eye on all major transport routes at all times. The current security situation in the country remains normal, he said.

"Mr Prompong may be concerned about the country, but his comment will not discredit the government and the CRES since we are monitoring the situation continually," Mr Thawil said.

The government had no plan to lift the state of emergency in Bangkok and the six other provinces yet, he said.

In my idea, there are a lot of danger in our community for nowadays. According to, the paragraph on the top, Im thinking about Red Shirts, they wanted to make the country goes crazy. They want to destroy and force Mr. Abisit Vaitchacheva to waving the white flag and leave his institute. Since last time that Thailand get destroyed, our country still have some wired events happen. I want all people to know that we are Thai. There is no color on our life, we should love each other and try not to destroy anymore.
