Crazy nightlife, inexpensive bar girls and lots of lady boys
Thailand you know, Thailand you imagine.
A lot of you who doesn't know Thailand well enough would only imagine it's a tourist land. Beautiful nature, friendly people and besides that, you probably focus on those things Thailand are known for among foreigners, night life, prostitute (no kidding), lady boys, and all that.
Thailand could be as extremely touristy as you have heard but guess what, there are some sides of the country a lot of foreigners who have come here never get a chance to experience. To be honest with you, even I myself as a Thai person, also don't really get a chance to see this very often either.
Yesterday was my aunt's birthday and she wanted to bring us to a restaurant in a suburb of Samut Songkhram province. On the way, I could really tell that's we're somewhere out of the cities, where we're used to. So much green and so much blue. No big building, only simple houses with local people. No fancy cars, only vehicles they got really for work and transportation.

It was just simply pretty.
I felt like all the scenarios, the views we drove by, nothing fancy like in the cities but it just looks so pretty. By that I really mean, simply pretty everywhere that I couldn't help taking out a phone and snapped it #nonstop. What I will be sharing here is just half or even less than half of what I have taken as I got them while the car moving so, they're mostly blurry. To be exact, I was on the back right passenger seat.
I have also noticed a shit ton of interesting stuff along the way. Something I had actually never realized it's there till I try getting some shots. Here are a few takeaway...
How many small manual gas stations (See! I don't even know how to call them) there are because it's so damn hard to find an actual gas station out there. How rarely they would own a car. Almost all the houses got a small house built for the spirits that they believe protect their houses. Some even looks more beautiful than the actual human house they live in! #lol
8THB coconut ! That's $0.03 !!!
They live real simple Thai life and around here, you wouldn't find take-advantage kind of prices of any products or goods. If there is so, then I afraid they won't be sold as there are all just locals around.
We stopped by at a pomelo farm and get a bunch of them. So much that there's no more space for an additional coconut we got afterward. I was as well shocked with the price of a coconut. I hadn't really seen it this inexpensive else where. 8THB coconut! If you'd like me to make it even easier, that's $0.03 and in the city would be some where a little less than a dollar. Tourist places, it goes up to $2-$5
I remember buying a $6-$10 coconut somewhere in the US so I you were me, you might as well get a bunch even it means, less leg space (wink wink).
