น้ำทวมทีามหลวง เป็นสถานการณ์ปกติของที่นี่

ที่มีปรากฎการณ์น้ำขึ้นน้ำลงเป็นปกติ เพียงแต่ช่วงนี้น้ำมากกว่าทุกปีเท่านั้นเอง ขึ้นไม่กี่ชั่วโมงก็ลดจนแห้งแล้ว ที่สังเกตเห็นคือชาวบ้านแถบนี้ไม่เห็นเขาตื่นตะหนกตกใจอะไรเลย สนุกสนานด้วยซ้ำ ยังทำมาหากินเหมือนเดิม บางทีไปคิดแทนชาวบ้านว่าเขากลัวน้ำเลยกั้นน้ำกันสุดฤทธิ์ ก็อาจคิดผิดก็นะ ปล่อยมาเลย เฉลี่ยเท่าๆกัน ภาพเมื่อ 30/10/2554   CBN PRESS

Vegetarian Festival

Veggie Fest Begins at Sawang Boriboon Foundation
Over recent weeks you may have noticed the giant yellow signs across the main
roads, advertising ‘The Pattaya Vegetarian Festival’ at Sawang Boriboon. Well, the
festivities got underway on Monday afternoon with the official opening of the ten
day event. On arrival it was soon apparent how big this occasion was, as having
proceeded through the immediate entrance, the long thoroughfare was completely
lined with yellow stalls selling all manner of appetising vegetarian foods. On closer
examination these stalls sold some temptingly delicious produce including all manner
of fruits, curries, some amazing creations in batters and vine leaves to soya ‘meat’
making a brave attempt to taste like ‘the real thing’. For anyone that is a permanent
vegetarian this festival is ‘a must’ as ideas for meat substitution were in abundance.
However, this annual festival is in essence about the cleansing and purification of the
body, and is traditionally linked to the Chinese communities not only in Pattaya but
around the whole country at this time of year. Most of the stallholders were more
than happy to try and explain what ingredients went into their ‘creations’ and were
very precise about how it should be eaten and what with. Further down the road of
gourmet delights, saw the entrance to a large square, which an hour later would be
filled by a ‘sea of white’.
