just a quick question..

in thailand what are the traditional leisure time with activities?

[TerAlelmlor]

Don't really understand the question, and I'm no expert, and I live in Ireland.

But, from what I have experienced, on Two Visits.

My family, live in a small village surrounded by Highways in Pathumthani.(north of BKK)
There is a Temple and shops, and... a Playground for Children.
There are lots of Festivals, and the Village organise appropriate activities for these Festivals.
Every week (bit of an exageration ) there is an Ordination, and Party to go with it.

When they go on a trip, two or three times a Year, (its always, Children, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts; at least 15 people or more) its to The Beach, and they stay a night or two, and bring everything with them, including "The Kitchen Sink."

"Future Park" Rangsit, is near, and the teenagers go here, like any other teenagers in the World going to "The Mall"

I'm sure there are others who Live in Thailand, who can give a better Answer.

David

Agreed
Also looking for new restaurants and places for delicious food.

lots of families pack up their picnic baskets, rice boxes, beers, etc and drive to the nearest beach / waterfall / lake / hot spring / national park, where they offload the car, walk 100 metres maximum, and have a picnic. the kids and teenagers enjoy splashing in the water, sometimes the adults too. there are always more food stalls, and inflated inner tubes for rent for the kids.
extended families spend more time together than in the west.

Watching TV is one of the most popular activities that take hours or a day or more.

Hunsolo, I had deleted some words in your above post which were not appropriate in a family-friendly site. My editing was reflected in the bottom of the page with my name (as the mod who moderated it), my comment and a time-stamp. But you 'edited' your post afterwards, though, frankly, I could not see anything changed after I had left it. However, your act effectively erased my name, and your name replaced mine. Even if you did not touch my comment, the next posts, especially that of Guava, now sound senseless and confusing because they're specifically referring to my edit. This is a minor matter, but this forum will appreciate it very much if you avoid doing the same thing again. Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Oh very sorry Marie,...I was not aware of that, that your name was "erased" from my post,...the reason I edited my post is I saw one wrong letter Un instead of In so I corrected that, (it must have been my own error from first post)..I was not even aware that your name would be erased from my post....sorry about that...I have no hard feelings for your editing my post... Your name still shows on my post that you have edited it.

[Yswxomvy]

Your name still shows on my post that you have edited it.

Only because I restored it to avoid the confusion.

Maipen rai ka.
