How many weekends before was it? I can’t remember. But the feelings, the memories, after I see the photos are still fresh. Concluding this series (which is very very late, I know) I will take you to three places – The view point, King Chulalongkorn Palace and Yellow Buddha.

The View point is nothing more than a view point (of course, it’s name says that). There is a bridge leading to rocky beach (not exactly) which tempts you to go and check out the caves which seem very near from above. If you go downwards, you’ll be probably disappointed as you can’t reach there. I can’t say for the evening though when the water generally recedes. Anyways, not more than half an hour worth is this place. May be good for photographers though. Check out the photos below –

Next is King Chulalongkorn Palace. Also called King Rama V Palace, this is very beautiful place to visit. Itself contains a lot of places for sightseeing, do eat a lot before going to this place as you’ll need energy. Lots of stairs and rocks to climb. Especially for history enthusiasts, who are interested to learn more about royal family’s history. Each palace dedicated to various princes of their times contains books and accounts for their and people’s under them lives. Don’t miss the stone bell and the temple. If you get tempted to go to further up ahead for another viewpoint, take a lots of water and heart, as you may get a little disappointed there. A fun place and has appropriate rest points. You can actually enjoy sea too. And some spots to enjoy are just so accurate that – how do I describe it – you sit,wind blows, sea is before you, it’s peaceful, not even birds, just waves’ sounds and you can ponder about life after reading the charity works and great developments done by the Kings there. Very much coverable on foot but if you want to hire bike, I think they allow that too. The pics are below:

We went to beach (where our tuk tuk driver took us) after that but that is not a very special place. Ah! You can have your lunch there though. Lots of places to eat. And the time we reached was about right too. You can play first or take lunch first. But beware! The rocks are very slippery and the beach has a lot of shells and stones.

Lastly we went to the Yellow Buddha on our own. It wasn’t included in our Tuk-Tuk trip. But it’s not very far away from the main pier. Also, it’s a curvy road climbing – very tiring – but worth it. We were lucky that when we reached there, no one was around. Although we were afraid of entering the cave, nonetheless, we did and I’m glad we did. The big Yellow Buddha is just at the entrance and there is just an old rusted sign pointing to the cave, so it’s very much possible to miss it. But if you go down, you’ll find reclining Buddha and big Buddha’s foot.

And it’s really interesting to go down a cave. We got a little lost but if you fell like that, just take the muddy road you see before you and go down, you’ll meet with the main road which took you to the temple. But where is fun in that. It’s the only place you can explore like a real adventurer. Like in search of some treasure. The fallen apart or being newly constructed buildings are not less than that.

There is a Golden Buddha too but we had heard it had 500 stairs! Due to lack of time and strength, we decided to go back. The ferry leaves every hour from the pier but the place for leaving may as well change, so it’s better to ask first.

In the end, these are the photo of the Yellow Buddha and around –

Enjoy! Oh! And we had our lunch at Pan and David’s. Really good food. You should try out there too! They have a site about the island too – http://www.ko-sichang.com/

Side Story 1 – I have been trying more groups now and I was trying Japanese groups. What caught my eyes was the biggest group I have come across – AKB48. I had heard about it’s anime but never watched that and never realized that it was based on real idol group. And when you check out the ages, they start from like 12 years!! Now since they have a lot of members and a lot of songs, I don’t think I’ll be able to learn the faces anytime soon. I just hope to learn a lot of Japanese from them. I got surprised when I could get a lot of lyrics from their songs. Really boosted my confidence. I am very happy!!

Side Story 2 – Oh well! I think I am going in depression now considering I had lots of plans after I would have got placed but it seems, everything is falling apart because the companies are not coming on campus TT_TT. If there was such problem, why were we called in such winter and our holidays in the first place? It’s too unfair that I have to spend my holidays and the festivals almost all alone in the college.

Side Story 3 – Since there are very less people on campus right now, I got to join this group of people and they are really fun. Why did I not meet them in my past three years here? Oh well! My mistake only. I was the one who was reluctant to come out of my room. But now I want to change. Thailand has already changed me a lot. Although it’s my last semester, but I am finally getting to know people – good people. Also, one of the girl told me today that I am fun to be around. Oh! I am so happy right now. It’s probably the first time someone has told me this. Thank you friend 😀 😀

Today’s song – Isn’t it obvious, it’s going to be AKB48? Nopes, it’s MissA today. I have been stuck on two songs from them and if I am not trying out Japanese groups, then these two are the only songs on my playlist. Posting one of them. Here:
