2. *Rayong Rayong is a Thai province but I am from Banchang District which is where I was born. Rayong borders both Chonburi and Chanthaburi provinces as well as the the Gulf of Thailand to the south. 3. *Banchang is near both Sattahip and Pattaya and is famous for many things such as long beaches, golf courses, seafood restaurants and temples. Today I would like to tell you about some of the ones that I consider to be the best and most famous are 4. 1.Nang Ram Beach (Nang Rum Beach / Hat Nang Ram) 5. *2. Wat Papradoo or Papradoo Temple 6. *3. Art in paradise 7. *4. Mimosa 8. *1.Nang Ram Beach (Nang Rum Beach / Hat Nang Ram) -Sattahip I like to spend time with my friends on the beach in summer where we like to go swimming, playing volleyball on the beach and riding banana boats. Normally these things we do in the afternoon because in the evening we have to go home. 9. Although it is hot we do enjoy our times together in Nang Ram Beach being the most popular beach in Sattahip because not only are there many facilities and restaurants located there but it is also taken care of by the Thai Navy. 10. Another interesting place is the HTMS Chakri Naruebet (Thai , meaning "In honour of the Chakri Dynasty") which is the flagship of the Royal Thai Navy (RTN) but is usually only viewed by Thai citizens. Also, not far from the Nang Ram beach there is an island where visitors can see shallow coral reefs. 11. Additionally, there are home stay accommodations for visitors run by the Thai Navy as well as lots of other activities such as banana boats, horse riding, coral diving and driving a jet ski which is exciting! There is however a rule in which you have to exchange your identity card with Thai Navy at the checkpoint to enter the Navy's areas. 12. *2. Wat Papradoo or Papradoo Temple This ancient temple dates back to the Ayutthaya period and within the structure houses a large reclining Buddha image which is 11.95 meters long and 3.60 meters high. Unusually, the reclining Buddha image lies on its left-hand side. 13. This temple is next to my old high school and my friends and I often go there to make merit on Buddhist religious days or when we wish to have good fortune for things such as mid-terms and final tests. 14. It gives us peace of mind and some times we also like to help with temple activities such as sweeping the temple court or washing dishes when the once a year Buddhist ceremony of Thot Kathin occurs. 15. * This place is so amazing for me and my friends and we often spend many times many hours there to taking many pictures with the beautiful paintings. I really love going there and always want to go back when I can. 16. The admission fee is 150 baht and my suggestion is you go there with many friends so you can take photos with the many photos anywhere and anyway you like such as sitting, or lying on the floor or up side down or while making funny faces with the pictures. 17. This museum paints in three-dimensional paintings and looks very real, with which you can pose creatively and take photographs. 18. The museum is not an ordinary art gallery and amazes you at the awesome three dimensional paintings that look as if me and friends are real. 19. * *The next place to travel to is Mimosa near Pattaya which is also known as 'the City of Love'. Mimosa's atmosphere is modeled after Amsterdam containing chic shopping area decorated with cute and fun things in a nature environment. Following the concept as 'The City of Love' is caters to weddings and lots of these hang amongst its walls and buildings. 20. There are also spots of interesting objects for visitors to take photos of as well. A small canal is in the middle of the area which contributes to its major theme of Amsterdam which also helps make the area more relaxed and comfortable to walk around. 21. On its main walkway, there are buildings facing towards one another with the buildings consisting of mostly restaurants and souvenir shops. 22. In the evening there are 'Ladyboy' shows starting at 17:00 which cost 50 baht for admission. My friends and I love these shows as they are so much fun and we love to watch them go into the audience to kiss boys in the audience which we think is so funny! 23. The last time we were there however there was a light rain falling but we continued to sit through the show because we had never seen a ladyboy show before. I liked this show and the costumes and the make up and at first I didn't know they were boys but knew when my friends told me. 24. * 25. * 26. Thank you for watching my presentation. Are there any questions?
