__Retracing history in Chanthaburi__
"Red Building" is an old tourist attraction in Laem Sing District, Chanthaburi Province. It was built since the time when Thailand still counted years as "Rattanakosin Era" or in the R.S. 112 era, which if compared to the year B.E., it would be B.E. 2436, more than 127 years ago. Along with Chicken Dung Prison, it was originally the location of the Phikhat Pajjamit Fort, which was built during the reign of King Rama III. Later, when the French occupied Chanthaburi, they demolished this fort and built the Red Building to be used as accommodation and the French military headquarters. Later in B.E. 2527, the Red Building was renovated to be used as a library building and non-formal education center of Laem Sing District and was discontinued. Until now, the Red Building is open to tourists without charging an entrance fee.
"Chicken Dung Prison" is an ancient prison used to hold Thai male prisoners, but it has never been used. And built with the Red Building, the upper floor of the prison is a place for raising chickens, where they will defecate on the prisoners' heads. However, some historians argue that this building was not built as a prison, but was built to be an observation tower alongside the Red Building, called the French Fort.
Chicken Dung Prison is a square fort made of bricks, located not far from Laem Sing Beach and the Red Building. The prison itself has remained the same since 100 years ago, without any renovations. Only the area for walkways and the garden around the outside has been decorated.
The Red Building and the Chicken Dung Prison are open to visitors every day from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Admission is free.

Take a Rest ☕️🔅🏝️
🌊 Seaside cafe, Laem Sing, Chanthaburi Province, a new and super chill cafe. Sit and enjoy the sea breeze to your heart's content... The shop is 100% outdoor, real wind, real sunlight. If it rains, you might get wet. 😆 There is no air conditioning, but there is a fan. A small cafe but I really like it.
🍹 There are many drinks to choose from. Good coffee. What you shouldn't miss if you come to Chanthaburi is the lime juice. It tastes delicious with anything. It's sour and refreshing. There are also cakes to choose from.
🚗 There is parking, very convenient.
🕔 10.00-20.00 hrs. Closed every Wednesday.
📍 Location: Behind the red building, Laem Sing Beach, Chanthaburi

Life is a
Life is a long journey, we are full of ourselves in constant encounters, once again come to Thailand, still attracted by the exotic scenery of the tropical style, this trip, specially selected the strong cultural flavor of Chanthaburi, After seeing the Old Street Catholic Church here, I am full of curiosity about the life of the locals. Let us walk into the most popular market in Chanthaburi to experience their usual living conditions. Such a market is scattered around the world. It is the most prosperous place and the best way to understand a city. For eating, everyone has the same love. Go to a strange place and taste the rich. Local specialties are a favorite of many people who love to travel. The colorful fruit I photographed is actually a kind of pasta. It is filled with stuffing. It tastes a bit jelly, 25 baht. A box, the taste is very good. I can't speak Thai, I can't communicate, so I still don't know the name so far.

Escape fro
Escape from Nanjing at -1° to Chanthaburi at 30°!
Wake up every morning and look up at the rising sun,
is like a scene in a movie, awakened by the sun...
Enjoy the warm sunshine and delicious fruit in the durian world, / Hh/ There is a whole whole piece of durian orchard. It is very cute to see the mini durian and the mini mangosteen. When the fruit is ripe in April next year, it can be eaten until August, and it will burst!
There are thrilling jungle adventures and mountain bikes here. About three or five friends are playing here. I don't want to go to the goddess of the supersouls in the evening to make a wish.
