Southern "Sart-Duen-10" Fest
At 4:00 am. yesterday, I took a bath quickly to go to Wat Lamai with folkins. We brought a lot of food & fruits into many bakset.
When we arrived at Wat Lamai's Community's Chapel , there were many people around . Mostly are women. They sat grouply with the same family's names to join the same group of food baskets.
In the food tray , there is a big bowl of Rice, wrapped in cone shape by banana leaf. Arounded with small pots of several local style foods such as; Squid stirr fried, "Yok Yuan" Mince Pork cooked by steaming with Salted egg yolk on top , varieties of fish menus-curry-fried, "Nam-Prik"with vegetable, etc.
the sweet & fruit bowls with color fags and Thai style bouquets.
There were many people out of the groups came to add their food with us then we had to sent ours in return to put in their groups baskets. Besides, the sweet for this fest in the past has used only Local styles. There are some available in Samui.
"Kai-Pla" -ขนมไข่ปลา , the sweetpea nut grinded and stirred fried with coconut sugar , shaped into fish's egg,then deep fried.
Untill 6.00 am. our food baket was nearly finished. The monks came to announce the ceremony. Then let people to bring the baskets to the shelves instead of under the trees as in the past.
Then we preyed in Bali for hours and it's time to take back Binns to the groups. After Binns came , people in groups grabbed anything they wanted back.
When the binn was empty. Time to go home .This time is the receive ancient spirits into the family. They were believed to stay with us about 15 days, then we will come to Wat Lamai with Binns again to send the spirits back to their places.
We weren't not be serious for whatever we could take back home because we always set group to eat together in our sala in the middle of village.But the time in preparing things brought many young and far-away folkins back to families and made the moment full of joy that more important than anytihng.

Villa's neighbourhood
When we go out to visit Mom's folkins in Wat Lamai area, we have to turn left of the ring road. The first interesting building on the right hand is Buddy Boutique Hotel. The luxuary Hotel which is the same owner of Buddy Bar at Kao-San road in Bangkok.
Firstly, Buddy had the land at beachfront where's opposite the hotel. There are small shop houses around and easily notice from my home at night because of their spotlight. When time pass, I think it's time that Boutique hotels boom in Samui. Buddy decided to create the beautiful hotel building on the other side of their own.
With my little knowledge of Architecture, I'm impressed with the tone color and its style. They look much like my favourite Vintage Luxuary. Curved and Mould Concrete decorated in every corner filled the place reminded to be in Mediterranean location , not my Samui at all. I love the arcade and shops but must confess that I prefer only Villa supermarket and Bangkok Bank shop. Others are suit to Foreigner to shop.
Anyway, the hotel rooms cost expensive but I think it might worth for living if you are stylish mode. I think the place is nice to be some fashion Location one day.
Must go to stay at Aunt's tonight. Tomorrow we have to go to Wat Lamai at dawn. It's time for Sart-Duaen-10 festival or Southern's New Year time. Will write and snap some pics as well.

Chansuwan Villa
I've try 3 Logo designs for my Villas , here are they...
Well, the first one is Moon + Rock
Well, Here is my plot layout. The land is split into 2 part. The smaller one has Office (that is a grocery as well) , Grove for local plants , and our housing units placed behind the flower row.
The bigger plot is my parents' house and the housing units along the left side of the road. Which is the private route , only for us and the other plot owners. They are my cousins and havn't developed yet. There are some rental units in their plots ,too. Some have many dogs and they will come immediately when a stranger walks on the road. That helps us to prevent our privacy even sometimes we might be annoyed with their noise.
Time to leave ,

Rainny season is still...
When I come back to live in Samui this time , it's the Rainny season. My parents have a new couple helper who are great in taking care of our garden. The fruit groves are still Banana, Papaya, Mango, but we try more cropped another such as; Custard apples "Noi Na", Marian Plums "Ma-Yong-Chid" , Lansats. We can't grow Durians because they take more water feeding.
Banana Garden in front of house. Samuiians have the belief about planting Banana in the seaside area will gain the best products. The fruits from my land are aways be like that. Maybe it's correct fact but now when the seaside land value cost up high , no one think about it anymore.
Nearby my house , Pommergranade tree are fruitful. Unfortunately they are not tasty at the moment even the products are many. Maybe I have to find some manual book at K. University when I go back to BKK.
Last month, "Hom" bananas are cut from their trees behind our gardener's house. They are very big. The fruit size is nearly 1 ft. long and still greenish. Mom kept them in a box for making them yellowish. Then spread out to our clients and some friends. I forgot to take a picture but there will be another times.Won't be missing again.
Na Kiat , Gardener made a wooden fence to the boundary line. Because this part beyond is open to the beach , to prevent anyone who wandered around for fishing at "Pang-Kwai" the cape end rocky area invaded into the housing area at night.
Then cropped some banana around , hope they will produce the big group of bananas.
Yam garden nearby grocery. Just start the crop. In 1-2 months they will productive. We have to cut 2 old coconut trees off. They are too high and not give any good coconuts anymore. Windy is so much dangerous when walking under them.
I've finished making website , http://www.chansuwanvilla.com/ There are many new things about website development to study. It's so nice to have a pathway to show people by this and hope to improve my Villa's site better later.
Bye bye :>
