High noon in Mae Klong, SamutSongkram

Today I traveled with my auntie to SamutSongkram(sa-mut-song-kram)
a province not so much Far from Bangkok.



It was quite sunny day when we arrived.


We drive first to Kromaluang Chumpon Shrine ( site with English descriptions )
that we Thai people believed that visit and pay respect to his shrine make us lucky.
I was making some wishes for myself and my family.
I also bought a 1,500 fireworks, people believed that Krommaluang Chumpon loved it.
the sound while quite loud they burst. ^ ^u


after left the shrine, we go shopping at Don Hoilod where has much seafood products for us.


da da daaa... non-instant seafood shop near the sea ...welcome to Don Hoilod ;)


mostly are dry fish and another seafood sold here..
I bought many of them back for today....I think it can eat around 1 - 2 weeks. haha


Pla Insi tak-hang (dry Spanish mackerels)..it's very salty and smell so strong..
well.. a bit like Western's anchovy.
We often eat with rice or sometimes contain in some Thai food.


we love fishh


already fried fish for testers...(free for eating) ...they were fantastic!


Our (late) lunch time at SamutSongkram,
our familiar foods ( but it's more special than that :) )


1st... Som-tam Thai ( Thai papaya salad)


2nd Grilled Chicken :P


Som-tam Yod maprao on ( heart of cononut palm+ seafood salad)

Dry Hanging Pla Ryu-kyu (GIANT CATFISH) xD

around market place areas ..we are so full and wasted money

SamutSongkram has more cool places that I didn't go
...like floating market Ampawa, and some fly fire light trips at night.
