An Average Weekend in Thailand: Written by Panrit "Gor" Daor
On Sundays, I usually go to my grandmother's home to visit her and take my brother back home because he always goes there on Friday evenings. I like to visit my grandmum's house very much. There it feel like my home because I stayed there and she looked after me when I was younger. My grandmum's home is near Yothinpradit temple where I was a novice monk.
This picture shows my grandmum's home. And next door is my great aunt's home and shop.
Sometimes on Sundays I go to "Seacon Square" shopping mall to play bowling, watch movies, play Laser Quest and shopping. In Seacon Square there's a lot of fast food restaurants like K.F.C., Pizza Hut, McDonalds, A&W, Popeye, Chester Grill etc. But I always eat K.F.C. sometimes I eat Pizza.
One day I went to the biggest football stadium in Thailand. It's called "Rajamankala Football Stadium".
I went to the biggest Crocodile Farm in the world.
