i hate doing blogs. js

Bangkok is the capital and the most populous city of Thailand. It is known in Thai as Krung Thep Maha Nakhon or simply Krung Thep. The population is 6.355 million. Bangkok’s oldest and largest temple, Wat Pho has the country’s longest Reclining Buddha. In the 19th century, Bangkok was known as the “Venice of the East,” since all transportation was by canal. No king has resided there since the early 20th century, but the complex is a stunning display of Thai art and architecture and a truly memorable sight. If you asked me i probably wouldnt go to that place because im to lazy and i honestly don't want to stand around looking at a “memorable sight”. would you go to this place? or nah?

Halong Bay is The Place for You

The Halong Bay in Vietnam is a place you should try to visit at least once in your lifetime. And if you don’t, then you should really consider looking it up, or something. Translating into “Where the dragon descends into the sea”, it is a beautiful and a majestic place. The islets in the World Heritage Site are made of limestone, and people take cruises to explore their caves. Many of the islands are less explored than the others, so they are probably the most prime place to go. Though this may be true, the bay sees monsoon weather from May to September, and from January to March it is cool and drizzly….brrrr. (As you can see I just used an Onomatopoeia). Even though the water drip drops it is a place worth going during the months in between. It’s best to go in those months because the weather is nice. You should plop your way on down there. Consider it?

Bromo Tengger Semeru

Bromo-Tengger-Semeru National Park in Indonesia is spectacular. The national park is named after two mountains in this region. Mount Semeru the highest mountain in Java and Mount Bromo. This park is also home to the Tenggerese tribe. One of the last significant Hindu community left on the island. There are also a tremendous amount of different animal species. Some of the most famous to the island are deer, wild pig, marbled cat and the leopard yet hardly seen are the most popular to the park. There have also been a ton of eruptions on the island. In late 2010 and early 2012 volcanic ash was spit up causing a thin layer almost around the whole island.This is a beautiful island and hopefully it can be preserved and kept in great condition for other generation.

Sunsets at Bagan

If I could take a trip to Southeast Asia one of the first places I would go is the Temples at Bagan. Formally known as Pagan, Bagan Myanamr has over 2000 temples.  In the past they had over 13000 but, since then some have crumbled. In the 'sea of temples' they say they have some of the most beautiful sunsets in the world and say that only few are better. With the marigold light fading from the sky surrounded by thousands of temples seems like the most extravagant thing I can think of. The Buddhist temples a beauty in  there own would excel with a exceptional sunset in the background. Just imagine could you see it?

Halong Bay

The Halong Bay, is an amazing place to relax and enjoy your self. Other than that it has an amazing view. Just imagine yourself waking up and looking at an amazing view of water wouldn't that be a great way to start your day? I’m sure I will love it. If I went there I am sure that I will not regret it and I will probably would love to go back that’s my opinion. So if you got the chance to visit the Halong bay would you visit it or not and why?

Do you like krab

Have you heard of Krabi Providence In Thailand? If you haven't then I think your missing something really special. Krabi is a town on the west coast of southern Thailand at the mouth of the Krabi River where it empties in Phang Nga Bay. Krabi is subject to a 6-month rainy season between May and November. In recorded times it was called the "Ban Thai Samor", and was one of twelve towns that used, before people were widely literate, the monkey for their standard. Krabi's population in 2010 was 52,867. There are some really stylish (instead of cool) facts about Krabi. Ultimately, Krabi is a popular holiday destination with 132 islands, several of which - Phi Phi Don and Ko Lanta - are inhabited. Also the geography of Krabi is quite unique, featuring distinctive rocky outcrops (limestone karsts), pristine tropical rain forest (being only a few degrees above the equator), mangroves and a geological curiosity in the form of a 40 million year old fossilized 'shell cemetery. 

WARMTH????

Krabi Province, Thailand!!! Which is some of the most gorgeous sand and beaches there are. This quirky little town may  be small, but they have so many things you can do there. For instance, you can go to elephant camp, where you ride elephants. You can also visit is the Thung Teao forest, with majestic sights from crystal clear lagoon and even a complete nature trail walk. Lastly you should see Krabi Hot Springs. The hot springs is a almost hot tube like thing, that has many “healing” minerals which are known to cure some skin diseases. Of these two things to do, which do you think would be fun..er?



I would like to use better words.

Laos, Luang Prabang

For this post I will be working on my vocabulary skills. Laos, Luang Prabang is a breathtaking city in Southeast Asia that attracts many tourists. Like in the surrounding jungle, you can find unexpecting fascinating powerful waterfalls outside of town where there are deep bathing pools and dark mysterious caves. Laos, Luang Prabang in addition, has remarkable architecture, that makes people from everywhere with all kinds different backgrounds want to come and see every single detail! It is an enormous area for practicing buddhism. For their morning ceremony the monks wear stylish clad robes and collect food handouts from people in the area. They even have good chefs I heard! Laos, Luang Prabang is an enthralling place to be! Would you want to visit it?

Are Temples boring to you?

Did you know that there are many temples in Bagan? If you didn’t know, now you do. Some examples of these temples are the Ananda Temple, The Byan Nyu Temple, Dhammayan Gyi Temple, the Htilo Minlo Temple, and many more. Ananda Temple is like a museum. You can study all different types of arts here, such as architecture, stone sculpture, and wood carving. The Byan Nyu Temple was built by King Alaung Sithu in 1144 A.D. The Dhammayan Temple was built by King Narathu in 1170 AD.The Htilo Minlo Temple was built in 1218 AD by Htilo Minlo Min. Would you go to see any of these temples?

WHY WOULD I GO THERE!

I would like to visit Luang the most because it has many beautiful sights. Some of the most beautiful sights are there temples,Kuang Si waterfall, and Laos reclining Buddha. Luang tends to have warm weather and lite rainfall.They also have a beautiful set of waterfalls that bring in many tourist. Luang has a total population of about 50,000 residents and receive even more tourist than that. They have a big gold Buddha near a river that also brings in many  tourist to that area .Would you visit Luang, if not where would you visit and what would you visit there?

Food in Penang

There are many mouthwatering ( I want to improve my vocab) foods in Penang. First, (I want to improve on my transitions)  there is a dish called Wanton Mee, it is a famous noodle dish in Penang. This dish has a hot broth with noodles that is garnished with chicken or pork and bok choy and some dumplings on the side. It is one of the key feature dishes in Penang. Another amazing dish is roti canai it is a small bread that is grilled on the stove. On the side is a curry sauce so you can dip it in the sauces. For dessert there is a sweet ice cream called ice kacang. It is Malaysian dessert which has palm seed,sweet corn and agar agar which is topped with coconut milk. Do these foods make your mouth water? (trying to do end with a question that intrigues people)

#WhatIsLyfe?

When you hear the name Bali what first comes to mind? Well it’s not some random place in Indonesia. Bali is considered to be the most talked-about island in Indonesia. It’s beautiful sights of beaches and astonishing forests makes for an unforgettable time. Bali has more interesting place to see besides the beaches, such as Mount Agung. Mount Agung, is an active volcano that erupts anytime, so make sure you keep an eye on that.If you are a fan of monkeys, well this is the place for you. Ubud Monkey Forest Sanctuary, you can learn, feed, and spend quality time with monkeys in the forest. Last but not least the temples. Temples are probably as old as dinosaurs, but most of them were built on these rocky thing called volcanos. The temple of Pura Besakih was a hair away from being destroyed by the lava. I know I want to but do you want to visit Bali someday?

I would like to use more descriptive/interesting words

The Tremendous Temple of Angkor Wat

I feel like working on my alliteration. So I will be talking about the amazing adventures you can have in Angkor Archaeological Park! The word Angkor is derived from the Sanskrit nagara meaning city. The Angkorian period began in AD 802.There are over 1000 temples in the Angkor Park. Ranging from nondescript piles of brick rubble scattered through rice fields to the magnificent Angkor Wat said to be the world's largest religious monument. Many of the temples at Angkor have been restored over the years. I am sure the tremendous temples were restored by the most terrific craftsmen in the world. Angkor is considered to be a "hydraulic city" because it had a complicated irrigation network,which was used for systematically stabilizing, storing, and dispersing water throughout the area. Do you think that the people who created this magnificent park intended to have it last this long?

The beaches of Krabi

Out of these ten choices that Mr.Hopper made us pick one from I would definitely pick Krabi. It has beautiful beaches and the water is crystal clear :o. It has so many visitors every year and is one of the best scuba diving places in southeast Asia. They also have AMAZING rock climbing. The views of the beaches are very breath taking. One very cool feature is that they have lots of caves, rivers and limestone mountains. They get around by using mini buses or a taxi.  Did you know that there are 130 different islands in Krabi?   The Tsunami from 2004 destroyed many coastal regions and coral reefs, but nevertheless the diving spots of Krabi province belongs to the best in Thailand. And since then the region is covered and guarded by a Tsunami warning system.

"Grumpi" Islands

I would love to visit the Krabi Islands, in Thailand. It sounds like people are grumpy, but it’s beautiful. There are amazing white sand beaches and many things to do on them. You can go swimming and scuba diving in the crystal clear waters. I would like to stay in The White Pearl Hotel in the center of Krabi town. It’s really close to the shopping center and local market, and it’s very high quality and clean.  If I visit the Krabi Islands I would also like to explore the caves and view the waterfalls.  If you visited the Krabi Islands, what would be the first thing you would do?

The Beautiful Similian Islands, Thailand

One of the top places that I would like to visit in Thailand would be the Similian islands. They are a group of islands in the Andaman Sea off the coast of, and part of, Phang Nga Province, southern Thailand. I find them extraordinarily beautiful and even though they are pretty small, they can be very entertaining to explore. (I am trying to use bigger, better words.) What I would do there is snorkel. I love to snorkel! These bright blue, clear waters seem like the perfect place to do it. Do these set of islands look like an enjoyable place for you to visit too?

Some Déjà vu

I would like to go to Penang because of the food on that website Mr. Hopper linked.  It looked so good I want to visit there to try those entrees.  They are to die for (this is a hyperbole :P ).  Also the place is an island for those who didn’t know.  Char Koay Teow looks like its on my #1 to eats.  Mr. Hopper one way or another you know how to torture me!  Anyway back to bizness.  This is just like the other time I focused on food *sigh*.  If you look up Penang the sweetest pictures pop up (on google images) so I recommend it.  What is your favorite dish from this
link?

Read This!!!!!

Bali, Indonesia is a living paradise that feels like a fantasy. (I used a simile here) Bali is also an island and province of Indonesia. The capital is Denpasar and it is located at the southern part of the island. This gorgeous island has a variety of landscapes including hills, mountains, rugged coastlines, sandy beaches and lastly volcanic hillside. The province Bali has world-class surfing and diving and a large number of culture. On this 1,900/sq mi beauty a total of 3,890,757 people (in 2013) including the ethnic groups of Balinese, Javanese, Baliga, Madurese. In Bali, Indonesia, the religions are Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, and Buddhism. The languages spoken in this amazing island are Indonesian (official) and Balinese. Wouldn't this be an awesome place for the best vacation?!?

Come Visit a Super. Cool. Place!

Seriously. You need to come to the Tubbataha Reef, Philippines. It is like the coolest place ever, but before I get started, I will tell you that I would really like to work on, which is voice. Sometimes it’s not that strong, but other times it is quite strong. The Tubbataha Reef is a very interesting place. It is a National Park, which means that it is (usually) a historically important place, and it is protected by the government. It is located in the middle of the Sulu Sea, if you were wondering. I think this is a pretty awesome place, but what the real question is: do you?

Check out this cool video for more information!

The Dream Vacation!!!!

The Krabi Province of Thailand is an amazing vacation spot. In fact, archaeologist believe it is one of the oldest communities in Thailand. The province is known for its caves because in the past they were homes for gypsies, merchants and pirates. Wouldn't that be weird living back in the day with pirates! Ko Phi Phi Lei is one of the provinces islands,it is a great place for snorkeling,scuba diving and swimming. Also Krabi has yummy food ,it is a twist on thai and island cuisine. Thailanders love to eat their fried food, for example fried corn,fish ,and desserts. Thailand is a magnificent place to go.Would you like to go? Do you like to scuba dive?

Transitions

Not your ordinary "bay"

If I could go anywhere, I'd go to the Ha long Bay in Vietnam! Why you ask? Many reasons actually! Before I explain why, I need to tell you something... Sometimes I struggle with using very. As in WOW that sounds "very exciting". NO. So, I will try using other words such as WOW that sounds "thrilling"! That's what I'm talking about! As I was saying,  the Ha long Bay, known as "Bay of Descending Dragons", has many unique features.  Some of the natural features extend over the sea and form some 2,000 limestone islets! What the heck are islets? They're small islands and they're often covered in dense forest. Going on a cruise through the fantastic creation would be an amazing way to spend a few days to explore, rock climb, and do lot of other activities! Be careful of seasons though! Monsoons are from June to September and again from January to March. Therefore, it is best to take a cruise near the islands that are situated far from the center where everything is explored less. Why wouldn't you want to go to the Ha long Bay?!?!?!?!?! :D

Visiting Bali

Bali is considered to be the most famous island in Indonesia.  It’s gorgeous sights mixed with the beautiful beaches, forests and rich culture make for an exquisite time.  Along with the culture, beaches and forests the Bali temples are possibly the greatest know.  With not only beauty in mind but also religion, the temples aren’t only the greatest know but also partially the reason of  tourists.  When you think of “tourists” I sure you think of Florida or California but in Bali, “tourists” mean churches and other holy Balinese groups or individuals worshipping.  Not only are the temples as old as life itself, but many were built on a volcano, seeking privacy.  In 1963, the temple complex of Pura Besakih was nearly destroyed due to an eruption.  Fortunately the lava missed the sanctuary by a hair, so today you may visit the structure.  If you had an opportunity to visit Bali would you?

Angkor Archaeological Park

Angkor Archaeological Park is an astonishing (I’m trying to use more interesting words) place indeed. Angkor Archaeological Park is an area with an Immense amount  of temples. Some of the ancient temples there are more than 1,000 years old. In Angkor Archaeological Park there is home to the ruins of Angkor (well now you know where the name of the park came from). A few examples of these Magnificent ruins are, the Angkor Wat, Bayon, and other ruins. Much of the ruins there were once part of the Vast Khmer empire. The Khmer empire stretched across much of Southeast Asia. There are plenty of temples and i think it would be a great place to go, Do you?   

Bali is Calling You!!!

First of all, I would like to expand my writing skills by adding similes. Now let’s get to my blog!

Imagine living near a lake, you could go fishing or swimming whenever you want. What would be better than that? Uhhmm… let me think about that. How about living literally “on” the water! Well, you can in a little awesome place called Bali, Indonesia. Besides the homes on the water, Bali has many more interesting attractions. One of them is Mount Agung. Mount Agung is an active volcano, so watch out when it erupts unless  you want to be as hot as a ghost pepper! Have you ever wondered what it would be like to ride through a safari on an elephants back? Well stop your wondering and do it at Bali Safari and Marine Park! Here you can feed the animals, ride the animals, and even eat right next to them, at the parks wonderful restaurant! This is a place where you and your family can be as wild as the animals themselves. Want to “monkey” around with your family. Just visit the Ubud Monkey Forest Sanctuary! You can learn about, feed, and observe the monkeys in the forest. After a long day of exploring Bali’s many attractions, you and your family are tired. Where are you going to stay? Why not stay at Amankila, a cliffside, 5 star luxury resort. This resort has a private white-sand beach perfect for sandcastles! The beach borders the North Pacific Ocean. But who wants to swim in the ocean when the resort has a special three level pool! The pool is as cool as an iceberg, perfect for getting out of Bali’s hot and humid weather. All the suites are elevated so you can see all of the amazing views, of the ocean and surrounding areas right from your bedroom. This resort only has 34 rooms so make your reservations quickly. Now I ask you, would you like to visit Bali, because I certainly would?

One Fun Fact for my Readers: If you look at Bali on a map it looks like a duck's head or a fish depending on how you see it!!!!!

water lyfe

I would love to visit Phu Quoc Island, Vietnam. Why you ask, because of all the untaught (natural) environment. For examples, the Virgin Forest of over 37,000 hectares, the white sandy beaches, and the varieties(difference) of wildlife there. The sad part about is that this is an almost unknown place. International tourist and Vietnamese just recently discovered Phu Quoc Island. The government has formed a plan to develop the the island into a high quality ecotourism destination by 2020. Until then, people can adore (enjoy) the coconut trees and calm blue waters. Would you like to visit Phu Quoc Island?

Halong Bay a Amazing Place

Halong Bay Vietnam also known as the Bay of Descending Dragons. Just imagine more than 2000 islands rising out of the magnificent waters, because thats what this bay is. Halong translates as “where the dragon descends into the sea”. It’s called Bay of Descending Dragons because of a story where people saw a snake like creature, or dragon from the mountains. It even has a legend where the bay was created by a great dragon from the mountains. Then charged toward the coast and made all the valleys and crevasses. Finally when it descended into the sea the area around it was filled with water. Many people travel the caves in the islands, and see the amazing site. I would like to go to Vietnam to see the Halong Bay. What places in Southeast Asia would to visit?

The Coolest Place In India

If I could go anywhere in India I would go to Ifugao Rice Terraces, Philippines. One reason is that the they have very pretty surroundings and mountains. The layers of the ground are very neat with all of the grass. Their food “oh” looks very delicious with all of the kabobs and meat. There are many cool physical features in the Philippines. There are very unique things about this place that I find interesting. My great uncle Abe was in the Philippine death march and wrote a book bout it. The things that make it unique are the food and physical features. What is your favorite place in India to visit? Tell me more!!!

Sun at its Final Peak

In South Asia, the place I would go to is the Temples at Bagan, Myanmar. They say that, Bagan is a very spiritual land.The city attracted monks and students from as far as India, Ceylon as well as the Khmer Empire. According to the Burmese chronicle, Bagan was founded in the second century CE, and strengthened in 849 CE by King Pyinnya. To me, its amazing to think that there would be something left of an old history to experience right now.(I would like the reader to be able to experience and understand the feelings I have for something.) The Bagan city grew in size, and became a familiar center for religious and worldly studies. They specialize in Pali scholarship in grammar and philosophical-psychological studies, as well as working in a variety of language. They definitely seemed to be more of an advanced group. I know lots of people have lost touch to their spiritual side. I’m not trying to sound like some Buddhist or priest, but if people only stopped and experienced the temples instead of going through the motion I think they would be able to connect in a significant way. People say that the Temples at Bagan, Myanmar have one of the most beautiful sunsets, so while I’m exploring the Thatbyinnyu Temple, I’ll make sure to catch the alluring sun at it’s final appearance of the day. What would you do if were to suddenly appear at the Temples at Bagan?

No Place I'd Rather Be

Magnificent. Stunning. Exquisite. Those are all words that can be used to describe the Krabi Province of Thailand. There’s over 130 tropical islands, crystal clear water, hot springs, fascinating limestone cliffs, waterfalls, breathtaking caves, coral reefs filled with fascinating marine life, and of course, gorgeous beaches.  

Not only is there extraordinary scenery, the Krabi Province is also like a playground for adventure seekers (I’m working on using similes). You could go snorkeling with tropical fish and other exotic marine life in coral reefs that are like underwater jungles. Or you could go kayaking and sailing in the Andaman Sea, surrounded by water as clear as glass. In Khao Phanom Bencha and Than Bok Khorani, two of the main mainland national parks, you can choose to go trekking and bird watching. The strange rock formations in Krabi are perfect for rock climbing as well.  

Not much of an adventure seeker? That’s okay too because Krabi can also be the perfect place to sit back and relax. The pace is unhurried and there are lots of secluded islands that can be reached only by boat. There typically isn’t much development on many of the islands, so you won’t have to worry about high-rise buildings blocking your view or large factories polluting the air either.

Everyone can find something entertaining to do in Krabi, whether you’re looking for new adventures or you just want to appreciate the awe-inspiring scenery from a beachside bungalow. What kinds of fun activities would you like to enjoy if you got the chance to visit these remarkable beaches?
