My unseen Thailand: April 2010
http://myunseenthailand.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Places I have visited which normally no Farang would ever find. Sunday, April 4, 2010. The final building I entered is the courtyard, a walkway with the donated Buddha statues at the walls, and a white chedi in the middle. Though this part looked so similar to the ones I had seen in countless other temples already, here's a photo of the smaller statues. Sunday, April 04, 2010.

My unseen Thailand: April 2011
http://myunseenthailand.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Places I have visited which normally no Farang would ever find. Sunday, April 3, 2011. Cruise through the Andaman Sea. The second day was the highlight, as it took into the area of Ko Tarutao (เกาะตะรุเตา), a marine national park. Off the coast of Satun near the boundary to Malaysia. Used as a camp for political prisoners during World War II - see for example the fictionalization in The pirates of Tarutao. The final day was a visit at Ko Phi Phi Leh, the beach from the movie The Beach. List of Thai blogs.

http://myunseenthailand.blogspot.com/2010/07/wat-phra-boromathat-chaiya.html
Places I have visited which normally no Farang would ever find. Sunday, July 25, 2010. Wat Phra Boromathat Chaiya. Wat Phra Boromathat Chaiya Rat Worawihan (วัดพระบรมธาตุไชยาราชวรวิหาร) is the most important Buddhist temple of Surat Thani, and also one of the most beautiful ones. The central chedi in Srivijaya style with its many golden ornaments is even the iconic symbol of the province Surat Thani. The three Buddha statues outside next to the Bot are also notable. Normally Buddha statues are always...

My unseen Thailand: Museum Siam
http://myunseenthailand.blogspot.com/2010/08/museum-siam.html
Places I have visited which normally no Farang would ever find. Sunday, August 8, 2010. One of the best museums in Thailand is the relatively new Museum Siam. มิวเซียมสยาม), located at the southern end of the Rattanakosin island in the former building of the Ministry of Commerce. I learned about it from the great website Tour Bangkok Legacies. The first room is a big auditorium, where a short movie. And the prehistoric remains. One floor down the exhibitions continues with the map room, not only showing ...

http://myunseenthailand.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Places I have visited which normally no Farang would ever find. Sunday, February 28, 2010. The district museum of Samphanthawong district, which basically is Chinatown, was originally located within Wat Traimit. The famous golden Buddha temple. It was however removed there in 2006 in order to make space for the massive rebuilding of Wat Traimit, which now has been fully opened. Within the temple it now has a new local museum on the history of Chinatown, the Yaowarat Heritage Centre. Vin de Ray winery.

My unseen Thailand: September 2009
http://myunseenthailand.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Places I have visited which normally no Farang would ever find. Sunday, September 27, 2009. One of the local district museums I should mention here is the one of Thonburi. It is relatively easy to reach, has several nice exhibits, but most of all the caretaker was that much concerned about me getting most of the museum it was nearly annoying already. As she did not speak much English, she instead read the text on the plates next to the exhibits. Is located just around the corner of the temple. Of course ...

Places I have visited which normally no Farang would ever find. Sunday, August 23, 2009. Morakot cave, Trang. Islands made it quite a memorable trip, even though the underwater sight were soon thereafter outshined by those around Ko Tarutao. But that will be another posting. Sunday, August 23, 2009. Sunday, August 9, 2009. Surat Thani night market. For some additional photos, take a look at Camille's review of this market. On his Samui info and weather blog. Sunday, August 09, 2009.

My unseen Thailand: October 2010
http://myunseenthailand.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Places I have visited which normally no Farang would ever find. Saturday, October 30, 2010. One can find both outside and inside views. In fact, it was that site which made me aware of this museum. And the provincial court - not that different from the current governmental center of Nonthaburi. One of the exhibitions rooms is thus on the history of the building, too bad I could not photograph the map which office was in which part of the complex. Saturday, October 30, 2010.

http://myunseenthailand.blogspot.com/2010/07/district-museum-yannawa.html
Places I have visited which normally no Farang would ever find. Sunday, July 11, 2010. When I read about Richard Barrow's test ride on the BRT. I was curious to try this new bus system myself. Looking at the route map, I noticed that along the route it has the BMA local museum of Yannawa district. On Yannawa district which she found deep inside a drawer of her desk, hope it wasn't the last one kept for the museum itself. Sunday, July 11, 2010. Location: Chong Nonsi, Yannawa, Bangkok, Thailand.
