Koh Lanta lies just south of the Andaman coast’s prime attractions, namely Krabi, Koh Phi Phi, and Phuket. The island has maintained its laid back atmosphere, even as Koh Lanta has slowly developed to include some of Thailand’s finest Beach resorts.
Still, Koh Lanta remains an amazing beach Destination for families, couples, backpackers, and scuba divers: anyone who is looking for a Thai Island that has not succumbed to overdevelopment but still has many options in regards to Accommodation and activities.
Koh Lanta Yai is 6km wide and over 30-km long, featuring nine golden sand Beaches and diverse terrain, including mangroves, waterfalls, and forested hills.
After the sun sets a great activity is to either dine at one of the many restaurants scattered around the island or travel north to the pier area where and sample some of the local food at the night market. This market normally lines the side of the road each evening but from December 26th to January 4th it’s expanded to ...
Khlong Toei wet market, or Talad Khlong Toei, occupies a sprawling site along Rama IV Road in Bangkok’s Khlong Toei district, a short walk from the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre and Khlong Toei stations on the MRT Blue Line.
The name of the surrounding area recalls an older canal once bordered by fragrant pandan leaves, though much of that waterway was long ago filled to expand the road network.
Today the market forms a dense, labyrinthine complex of permanent stalls under pavilions and open-air lanes where vendors spread their goods under umbrellas, and porters weave carts through crowds of shoppers and the occasional motorbike.
Its history is bound up with the creation of Bangkok Port in the same district. After the Second World War the World Bank helped finance a modern container facility on the Chao Phraya River, one of the first of its kind in Southeast Asia, to handle Thailand’s growing agricultural exports. Migrant workers from Isan, the South, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar and ...
Last season (2025/26 Thai League 1), Port FC finished a strong 2nd with 60 points from 18 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses (59 goals scored, 23 conceded, +36 GD), behind champions Buriram United (70 points). Lamphun Warriors ended 12th on 29 points (4 wins, 17 draws, 9 losses; 35-47, -12 GD), a mid-to-lower table campaign marked by many draws but limited winning consistency.
Tonight’s early 2026/27 Thai League 1 meeting (Matchday 2) at PAT Stadium sees Port as clear favorites. Port started the new season strongly and sit top after a road win, while Lamphun are bottom with zero points after a defeat and a poor goal difference. Port’s home form, superior squad quality, and recent head-to-head edge. A 2-1 or 2-0 scoreline looked realistic given Port’s attacking options and Lamphun’s defensive vulnerability on the road.
Port delivered exactly that result with a 2-1 home win. Issam Al-Subhi converted a penalty in the 14th minute (after a VAR check) to give the hosts a 1-0 half-time lead. ...
Wat Ket วัดเกษ, sometimes rendered or misheard as Wat Let, stands as a quiet restored ruin on Ayutthaya’s city island within the Historical Park, at the junction of what were once Pa Thon and Si Sanphet roads in the old Pratu Chai district.
In the days of the Ayutthaya kingdom this modest monastery occupied a strategically grim corner of the capital, positioned close to the original city jail and the great drum tower known as the Ho Klong. The temple itself was linked to the guardian spirit Jao Ket, the protective spirit of that tower, a structure from which officials beat drums to warn the populace of fire or other sudden danger. Traditional accounts even speak of foundation sacrifices connected with such important civic buildings.
Architecturally the site is modest yet distinctive. Its principal surviving feature is a bell-shaped chedi of unusual pyramidal form executed in the Sukhothai style, the only example of its kind among Ayutthaya’s many temple ruins.
Foundations of an ...
