A trip to Uthaitani

Last month, before the beginning of the second semester, I had a chance to go to Uthaitani. It’s a province in the middle part of Thailand. There were six people in this trip. There were my dad, mom, uncle, aunt, my friend and me. We planned to go there on October 20 – 21. So my friend, Aum had to come to stay over night at my home on October 19 because we had to leave early in the morning. We left the house at 6 o’clock in the morning. We took two cars in this trip. We stopped at the gas station to have breakfast at 7 o’clock. After that, we moved on. On the way to our resort, we passed many provinces, such as Phatumtani, Ayuthaya, Supanburi etc. We saw many green rice fields and mountains on the way we drove. We arrived at the resort around 1 o’clock in the afternoon.
After we left our luggage in our rooms, we had lunch at the resort restaurant. When we finished our lunch, Aum and I took bicycles to look around the resort. There was a beautiful and quiet place to stay. There were many small houses, a lot of big trees and flowers. There was a club house providing many facilities, for example, bicycles, exercise facilities, swimming pool and a massage room. We planned to go up to Hauy Kha Kang National Park but we couldn’t because the road was damaged by flooding. So, we decided to go to see the hot spring water at the village nearby. They built many bath rooms for tourists. We went there to take a bath from hot spring water. It was quite hot but we loved it because it felt good. We left there and went back to the resort at 4 o’clock. My dad and uncle went to the massage room. Aum and I went back to our room and watched TV for a while and took a nap because we felt so tried. At 6 o’clock, my mom called me to get up and go to resort restaurant for dinner. I thought the food was not good enough and everybody agreed with me. There was another big group of tourist in the restaurant. They were very noisy. They were magicians. There was a magic show on a stage. It was not interesting, I thought. So, Aum and I went back to our room watching TV but my parents and my uncle still sat drinking some wine till 10 pm.
Next morning, the adults woke up early in the morning but we were still in bed till 9 o’clock. We followed them to have breakfast at the restaurant. After we finished our breakfast, we checked out of the resort and drove back home. On the way home, we stopped having lunch at Bangpa-in. The restaurant was near the Pasak River. We ate big river shrimps. It was quite expensive but it was very delicious. We enjoyed our lunch very much. We were still there till the sun set. It was very beautiful. And then we drove back home. I thought it was a nice trip.

My last weekend

Last weekend, I went out of my home every day. I went out to see my old friends and went to my old school. I visited my teachers who taught since I was 8 years old. I felt very happy when I met them. After that I went out of my old school. I went to my friend’s mother restaurant. I went to help them serve food for many hours. I thought, it was very fun to help them cook or write the order. It was a very good experience for me. After I finished helping them, my friend and I went back to my friend’s home. We waited for other friends who hadn’t come yet. We decided to go to Water Front restaurant near the Chaopraya river. When all my friends came, we took a taxi to go to the restaurant. The restaurant was very beautiful and quiet because
there were not too many people. All dishes that we ordered were delicious. Some of my friends and I drank some beer. We enjoyed our dinner that day. We finished our dinner at 9 pm. and because it was early to go back home we decided to go to Khaosan road. We left the restaurant and took a taxi. It took about 10 minutes to Khaosan road because the restaurant was not far from Khaosan road. We went to The Cave pub. Inside, there were many people. We came in and sat at the middle table of the pub. I was a little bit drunk but we also ordered some beer to drink again. There was a little concert in the pub, everybody danced with the rhythm of the music. We had a good time there. We left the pub at 1 am. in the morning and we wolked a long Khaosan road then, I said good bye to my friends and took a taxi to my home. I thought that it was a very good time to meet my old friends and it might take a long time to see them again, it might be next year. On Sunday, I woke up at 10 o’clock in the morning. That day I planed to go to JJ market with Sam and Aum, they are studying with me at ABAC now. Sam and Aum went to JJ market by bus. I told them to call me when they arrived to JJ market because my home is not far from there. So we met each other at 11 o’clock and we all started to shop. It was very hot in there, so we had to break for a long time. Then at 1o’clock in the afternoon ,we started to shop again. We got many things from JJ market and we left there at 2 o’clock. After that we went to Central Ladprao. We were very hungry so we had dinner at MK restaurant. After we finished our dinner, we went to see the movie at SF cinema city. Finally, we went back home at 9 pm. I thought, that day was the best for my friends and I .
