The Trip in the Second Week conducted by UDRU for us
In
order to refresh our mind from our routines everyday, UDRU took us to some
beautiful places in Udon Thani Province by bus. The journey was begin at 08.00 AM.
I was so excited since A-jarn Kim a mentor at the university conveyed that we
were going to go to Wat Photisomphon, Udon Thani Museum, and Thai- Chinese
Cultural Center by a bus . They vehicle was so unique. It looks like a small bus,
but it doesn’t have windows at all.
Riding that vehicle together to get the
place, we were also accompanied by a tourist guide. She explained everything
including why people in Udon Thani usually wear orange clothes, the history of
the name of Ban Makkhaeng region, and so on. After arriving in the first place,
Wat Photisomphon, as usual we didn’t forget to take pictures together in front
of the buiding.The weather was so nice. It was not cloudy at all. Entering the
building, we saw many buddha’s sculpture including its sabordinates. The touristy
guide clearly explained that when budha was born to this world, he could take
about seven steps without being helped by other people.
And the reason why most
of them there usually wear orange clothes whenever there is a special occasion,
because budha was born under a tree having orange flower. Wa Photisomphon a
holy place for buddha people has four floors.Here are the pictures when i was in
that place.
The
second place we visited was Udon Thani Museum. They told me that this plase was
usually used to take the picture for a couple who want to marry, since it had a
nice view. The contain in that musium is about haw ancient people survived, and
sometime it also showed us abot the klife of dinosaurs in the old time. In the back
of the musium, we could see a very beutiful lake. I am not sure the name of that lake. In the
fist floor before we entered the musium, the are some sellers selling
somesouvenirs of udon thani, namely : earthware flask with neck and yellow duck
that is a symbol of Udon Thani. Therefore, No wonder that in Nong Prajak Prak,
we could discover the big image of these souvenirs.
The
third place we visited was Thai-Chinese Cultural Center. I think it is the mix
of Thain and Chenese Culture. A long time ago, Chenese people went and stay in
Udon Thani for Business Purposes and they made their home in a particular area
in Udon Thani. Thus, No wonder that every fifth February, most of people in
Udon Thani celebrate Chinese New Year.In that building, we could dicover many
items that are considered as a symbol of chinese.
The
garden of the centre has been designed in Chinese style under the name “the 24
Manners of Gratitude the Garden of Thausand-Year-Old Morality”. The lotus and
emperor-carp-ponds are spectacularly encompassed by various colourful aupicious
plants of China including bearded dragon, willow, and black bamboo.
