Nareemol Oyster Omelette at Bang Noi Floating Market

Despite our initial plan to travel with four people, we ended up being only two. However, we decided to continue our journey as we had already booked accommodation and a tour in Amphawa. We didn't want to waste our arrangements, even though it was drizzling the entire way. Nevertheless, we knew that "a hungry army cannot fight," so we decided to find something to eat.

Before reaching our accommodation, Baan Nam Resort, located in Bang Khonthi district, not far from Amphawa, we decided to stop for a bite to eat at the "New Market," also known as "Bang Noi Floating Market." This market was not yet officially open when we visited, with locals mentioning an official opening date of August 12th.

The Bang Noi Floating Market is easily accessible, located near Wat Ko Kaeo temple. In fact, some parts of the market are within the temple grounds, such as the parking lot. The market offers a variety of goods, similar to the Amphawa Floating Market, but on a smaller scale. It can be considered a miniature version of Amphawa.

Roti from the shop next door

We stumbled upon a stall selling oyster omelets, which was unusual because they stir-fried it with Chinese kale. We ordered one each to satisfy our hunger pangs, followed by roti with condensed milk from a nearby stall. The oyster omelet was truly delicious, with a crispy yet fluffy texture. However, it doesn't stay crispy for long, as the vendor mentioned they don't use baking powder or crispy powder. The addition of chopped Chinese kale helps to cut through the richness, similar to bean sprouts, creating a unique and enjoyable flavor.

After eating, I went out for a walk. Wow, there was so much food!

The Power of Language: A Journey Through Translation

The act of translation transcends the mere conversion of words from one language to another. It is a bridge between cultures, a conduit for understanding, and a testament to the power of human communication. As a journalist translator, I am entrusted with the responsibility of navigating this intricate landscape, ensuring that the essence of the original text is faithfully conveyed while adapting it to the nuances of the target language.

My role extends beyond simply finding the closest equivalents for individual words. It involves a deep understanding of the cultural context, the intended audience, and the specific purpose of the translation. Whether it's a news article, a scientific paper, or a literary masterpiece, each text presents unique challenges and demands a tailored approach.

In the realm of academic translation, accuracy and precision are paramount. Every detail, every turn of phrase, must be meticulously scrutinized to ensure that the translated text faithfully reflects the original meaning and intent. This requires a mastery of both languages, a keen eye for detail, and a thorough understanding of the subject matter.

Beyond accuracy, effective translation strives to capture the spirit and style of the original work. This involves a delicate balance between literal fidelity and creative adaptation. While preserving the core message, the translator must also consider the cultural norms and linguistic conventions of the target audience.

The process of translation is not merely a technical exercise; it is an art form that demands both skill and sensitivity. It is a journey of discovery, a quest to unlock the hidden meanings and nuances embedded within the text. As I embark on this journey, I am guided by the principles of accuracy, clarity, and cultural sensitivity, striving to create translations that are both faithful to the original and accessible to the target audience.

Through the power of language, I aim to bridge the gap between cultures, fostering understanding and appreciation for the diverse voices that enrich our world.

The market is back on track.

The Ban Pa Hin Paen Museum, also known as the Set Siam Ha Museum, is a local museum brimming with knowledge about ancient earthenware vessels, some dating back hundreds of years. These vessels represent various pottery styles from the Sukhothai period, including cooking stoves, braziers, fireplaces, water jars, liquor jars, garlic jars, fish sauce jars, and fermented soybean jars.

The museum houses a collection of ancient artifacts, including pottery excavated from the Mae Klong River, teak wood combs, nickel trays, teak wood grinding boats, braziers, and various rare antiques. It was established by Mr. Thaweechai Pisetsalasai, an avid collector of ancient vessels, who amassed a vast collection over time. He decided to open his home to visitors free of charge, creating a space for cultural appreciation and learning. The museum also serves as a valuable resource for nearby communities interested in conservation efforts. (Source: Tourism Authority of Thailand)

Visitor Precautions:

Handle with care: Due to their age, these ceramic vessels are fragile and susceptible to damage from impact. Please exercise caution when viewing them.

Although the museum is open to the public on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, we did not visit it. This is because entry requires advance notice two days prior. For inquiries, please contact Mr. Thaweechai or Mr. Prapeephat Phisetthasalasai at +66 3476 0098.

There are many cafes with beautiful views and lovely decorations.

Walking back the same way, I came across an old-fashioned dessert shop. Huh! What is it?

Roti Taechiew

A popular Teochew snack, the "Roti Taechiew" is now a rare find, but can still be found at the Bang Noi Floating Market. The outer layer is a thin, round sheet of dough, coated with vegetable oil to prevent sticking. The filling consists of peanuts, brown sugar, and fragrant roasted white sesame seeds.

Additionally, there is a wooden bridge crossing the Mae Klong River, which is decorated with lights and cute signs for tourists to use as photo props.

Across the river is a restaurant and coffee shop called Hua Ha, which is an old coffee shop and a Thai singing club. People will come to sing old songs until they are loud throughout the bend of the river. At first, I thought I would sing with them, but I was afraid they wouldn't have any Bodyslam songs.

After a satisfying meal, we took a leisurely stroll to aid digestion and did a bit of window shopping. We returned to our accommodation with some snacks in tow, and it was time to head to our lodging for the night, "Baan Nam Pern Resort." Some of us had the opportunity to catch up with each other.
