Many people love the nature and try seeking the beautiful nature sites to visit. These places are spreading everywhere in the world. Some might hide in the secret areas and wait till someone passes by and explore.  Caves would be one of the places in this kind of nature site that people love to see and explore. They are not the same in term of the area where they located. In Asia like in Thailand, caves are the places where the ancient people kept all treasures in for the new generations to find and preserve. Muang On cave that we are going to tell you the story is one of the local tourist attraction sites in Chiang Mai, Thailand.  30 kms. to the East side of Chiang Mai city area, located in Sankhampang District. There’s a legend tells among the local people that once when the Lord Buddha had travelled in this area and stopped by the cave for rest, meditation and teaching the Buddhism. He found the cave and spent his time there. In the cave, there was a Naga who lived there had disguised himself and offered the Lord Buddha fruits and honey when he spent his time there. When the Lord Buddha was going to leave the cave, the Naga had asked for the Lord Buddha’s hair to place in the cave for him to pay respect. The Naga had placed the Lord Buddha’s hair on the top of the stalagmite as seen in the present.  The local people found the cave again when Kru Ba Sriwichai, the famous monk of Lanna had spent his time meditation in the cave and found the relic of the Lord Buddha so that it has became the place for the people to show respect for the Lord Buddha since then.

Chore : The never ending work!!

Chore : The never ending work!!

Today we’ve just spent our free time on housework or “ The Chore”. Of course you might think why have to be this word!  Let’s say. If  you are not going out anywhere and you are home. 100% you might start doing something that involve with the chore.  Please!! Don’t say no. Because we won’t believe you. Haha.   The chore or housework is something hiding in every  houses.  It depends on how we see them or not. Some people might not see them or see. But ignore them and says “ I would do it later.” Then forget it.  These could be some disaster as they would be like diseases which would expand  quickly to every corners of the house if you not doing something.

However when you have started to do one of the chore…more would come and then you could continue and they would keep you busy for a whole day long. Tired?  Oh..Yes!!! But it is worth doing. Because after you clean the house and do the chore, you would feel happy and confident when there are guests visit to your house.  Also it is for your hygienic.  Other benefit you could get from doing the chore is exercising. You spend and burn your energy after eating lots of food…both good food and junk food in the same time. Find some music you like to listen to while doing the chore is not too bad. It would make you feel relax and enjoy while doing the chore, cleaning , washing or whatever.  We don’t mind dancing and singing in the same time while doing the chore, right?

Well …let’s get started. Do it bit by bit for every day. You might have to do the same things almost every days  for the  chore as we says the chore is the never ending work, but it is the better way of living. Let’s do it!

Thailand ONLY

By admin777 On

The roads split out in all direction from the center of the capital city of Thailand. If heading toward the eastern side it will lead to Kanchanaburi. There are a few trains per day going there, but the faster and easier way is by cheap minivan ride. There are a lot of accommodation options to choose. The town seems to host tourists for a long time so infrastructure and facilities are well set up. There is the tourist street lined with shops, restaurants, bars, massage parlors, etc. It is not as busy as Khaosan Road in Bangkok though, which can be even better for those who do not like too touristy, too loud, and too crowded places. The small night market close to the railway station is an interesting place to go shopping or simply check out things sold there.
