Chinese New Year 2014 Year of the Horse

Chinese New Year will bring celebrations all over the island next week, with cultural events,

festivals and concerts and parties in Phuket Town. In fact Phuket Town will become a hive of activity, and at the time of year, people come from all over Thailand to visit relatives and celebrate this New Year; which incidentally is the year of the Horse.

The most important event on any Chinese calendar is of course The New Year and this year being the year of the horse, will be no different here in Phuket, firecrackers fireworks being let off at all times of hours over the period will keep you informed of its arrival.

There is a large Chinese Thai community here on the island and none more so than Phuket Town. Inside the town there is a small China Town. And it is in this area where most of the celebrations will be taking place: there will see other events around and about on the Island, but not in the same capacity as in Phuket Town.

When you go down to Phuket Town, be sure to check out the old Sino Portuguese architecture and it is that area of Dibuk, Talang, Yoawarat and Ranong roads where there will be a lot of action. Small concerts, art displays shopping stalls food stalls, more fire crackers, bars, the works, it’s a full on, all singing, all dancing New Year festival and no one does it better than the Chinese.  

Most of the main roads will be shut to traffic. There will be lots of people, and it’s a real pleasure to walk around the town without all the traffic clogging up everywhere, it’s a great atmosphere, we go every year.

All the old Chinese houses will be decorated, in red decorations and beautiful colourful flowers, and offerings of fruit and sweets to Buddha.

All the shops and restaurants will also be festively decorated, giving a complete sense of joy at the year of the Horse. It is a wonderful experience this time of year. The parties go on well into the night with plenty of live music been played and several outside venues.

Accommodation is hard to come by this time of year and you really need to book in advance, otherwise a long door knocking around the town will may be required. There are literately hundreds of places to stay in Phuket Town; from world class hotels down to the small guesthouses and backpacker establishment.

The food on offer by the local street venders is not to be missed, you should definitely take the time to sample as much of the local and Chinese dishes as possible. There is more food on offer at this time of the year, than there is even at Song Kran, Thai New Year (most are too drunk to cook).

As you walk along any of the main roads, they will be bordered by a vast array of small market stalls, all selling their goods from souvenirs to food to paintings to antiques.

All the food on offer is completely delicious, and you will find dishes that you may have never tried before. I recommend that you give it all ago, count the calories when you go back home.

There will be a troupe of 50 acrobats headlining this year’s festivities. The Henan Troupe will entertain us with their own adaptations of old Chinese Fairy Tales, it will be magnificent.  The shows will be free and be shown near the Provincial Hall throughout the week.

It is tradition to wear red at this time of the year, it is believed that what you wear at New Year sets the tone for the rest of your year. So wearing nice bright red colours give you the appearance of happy, bright and ready for what lies ahead.

It is common for children to be offered small gold and red, envelopes in side will be a few small coins for good luck.

Get ready for midnight, as when those firecrackers start to kick in, you will think that the world has exploded. Such is the racket they make, all adding to a unique blend of cultures coming together to celebrate of the great festivals of world religions.

Come down to Phuket Town, you will have the time of your life. So much to do, so much to see, eat and drink, it does not get much more exciting than this.

Phuket Weather Update 21/27 of January 2014

Here is the latest weather report for those keeping a check on your next holiday destination.

The Weather this time of year is very settled and quite mild for Thailand, with gentle cooler winds blowing down from the North East these winds keep it cooler. Being January and the rest northern hemisphere is shivering in the coldest time of year Phuket is basking is more favorable time of the year.

Even with the trouble in Bangkok Phukets beaches are busier than ever with Patong, Nai Harn, Surin and Laem Singh beaches recording high levels of customers. You can always guarantee great weather this time of year.

Phuket benefits from the cooler winds, though it still basks in glorious sunshine, it is the humidity that has been switched off. The weather this time of year does not change too much but it is pretty much near perfect.

Biking in the lost Ancient city

After I been to Ayutthaya (Ancient city 2nd capital of Thailand) so many time. I hear people talking about do the biking tour in Ayutthaya and get there by train. It’s actually the whole next level of the way I see it as it use to be. Before we go any further let’s me tell you a bit about this city.

Ayutthaya is an ideal destination for those looking for a short trip away from Bangkok, but actually there are plenty of interesting things that you can do here. Besides the old Temples and nice Palace there is also the opportunity to learn more about Thai culture and the life style of the local people who live along the river. You can also ride a bicycle around the historical park. It is just a great way to feel and touch the beauty of the Kingdom of Thailand.

This morning we start early by get to Hualumpong main train station. We catch the train from Bangkok to Ayutthaya. It took us around one and half hour to be in the heart of Ayutthaya.

On the way we can see the local area where local people live mix with rice field. This’s what you are not going to see if you take a big hi-way road trip to Ayutthaya. Finally we got there late in the morning then we rent the bicycles near by the station.

Then continue our journey across the river by took our bite on the ferry and continue our ride to “ Wat Mahathat” which is typical of the Ayutthaya ruins: large crumbling stupas surrounded by low laterite walls and rows of headless Buddha. One Buddha-head is in a tree trunk. It’s one of Ayutthaya’s icons that you can’t miss.

Then visit Wat Lokayasutharam where you will meet the big reclining Buddha. It is located in the ruins of Viharn and facing towards the East. It was constructed of bricks and cement in Middle Ayutthaya Period and is 37 meters long and 8 meters high. 

Then visit “Wat Mongkhonbophit” which was a royal temple. Here they have a very famous big meditation Buddha image.

And just a few minutes walk we will visit the old loyal palace. where the king use to live and his successors performed religious ceremonies.

Then check in at a typical Thai house style accommodation surrounded by a canal and beautiful garden. Here you will feel like time is just frozen from Ayutthaya period and tonight if you still feel like you have an energy.

You probable go out and have a look of Night view of Ayutthaya at night and check it out for local pub around in town.

                                                                                                  

Second day

After we finish our breakfast we head to the “Ayutthaya Floating Market “ It’s a very picturesque spot. Enjoy the canal boat, tropical Thai fruit and flowers as you see the life style of the Thai people from 40 years ago. Then enjoy lunch at a local Thai restaurant in the market. After the market we continue our journey to the Ayutthaya Elephant camp in town and enjoy an elephant ride. Here we do really enjoy getting close to biggest animal ever live

on land and it’s also Thailand icon.

After finish from here it’s just about time to head back to Bangkok. From here we arrange the private car to get back to Bangkok before the rush hour. It’s such an experience that I would never forget.
