The
Story of Thanon Khaosan For half century,
a 300-meter-long and 20-meter-wide street right in
the middle of Bangkok, Thailand, has been changed from  In the 60's, the junctional
road betaween Chakrabongse Road and Tanao Road. There
were a great number of businesses. The most important
good was "Khao San" (Uncooked Rice), which
became the name of the road. Because people living in
this area were wealthy, they could send their kids to
study aboard such as U.S.A or European countries. When
they graduated, they came home and took their foreign
friends to visit Bangkok. Therefore, Their houses were
decorated to be houses for guests (Guest House).In addition,
there were several places of interest around Khao San
Road; for example, The Grand Palace, The Royal Garden,
The Temple of Dawn, and so forth, and Khao San Road was
the nearest place to stay, so it became very famous area
for Bangkok tourists.
Now, Khao San Road has been totally changed. Big gorgeous
houses and rice stores have become guest houses, apartments, cozy hotels,
restaurants, gift shops, travel agents, and so on. Besides, Khao
San Road has also become an important tourist information
center of not only Bangkok but Thailand. Many tourists prepare their
trips in Thailand from here. Therefore, the jobs Thais living in this
area are related to Thailand tourism; selling goods, tourism services,
accommodation, visa/immigration services, even stall shops. Tourists
can communicate with them in easy English.
If you are a backpacker travelling to Thailand, this is a must place
to come to and you can receive a great deal of Thailand tourist information
and get ready to travel around Thailand.
Welcome to Khao San Road, one of the
place which you will never forget.

Museum
of Buddhist Scriptures |
|
 Besides the Museum of
Buddha Images, some parts of the Sala Rai around the Mondob
have been allocated to exhibit another collection of Wat
Pho's treasures; namely, the palmleaf Tripitaka scriptures
and Samut Thai, Thai folded books.
According to Buddhist belief, those who establish the Tripitaka scriptures as
an offering to the temple will gain supreme merit because they are taking part
in sustainging the doctrine of the Lord Buddha which is composed mainly of 3
divisions know as ‘Pitaka'; namely, the Disciplines, the Sermons, and the Metaphysics.
In former times, the establishment of the Tripitaka was time-consuming, as it
had to be inscribed on palm leaves with an iron stylus. So was the writing of
the sermons on Samut Thai, the Thai folded book, which was made from ‘Khoi' or
Siamese Rough Bush paper into 2 different kinds: Samut Thai Khao and Samut Thai
Dam.

What
Is Tooth Whitening? It's actually a bleaching
process that lightens discolorations of enamel and dentin.
The system recommended, is to use a mild solution retained
in a custom-fitted appliance that is worn over your teeth
while you sleep. You also have the option of using the
system during the day as the custom-fitted tray is hardly
visible and does not interfere with speech. |
