HOPE KRITSANA ANANTASETTHAKUL

FACECLAIM: Tay Tawan - ator DATA DE NASCIMENTO E IDADE: 07/06/1994, 30 anos GÊNERO: Homem cis ETNIA E NACIONALIDADE: Tailandês, tailandês OCUPAÇÃO: Dono do Anna Bar on the Beach É MORADOR OU TURISTA? Morador DISTRITO: Mueang Phuket @hopepht

PERSONALIDADE:

Com Hope, parece não existir tempo ruim — mesmo nos dias que os estresses do trabalho arrancam dele um xingamento ou outro. Um poço de carisma, está sempre preparado para atender a clientela com um sorriso no rosto e uma lábia que chega a ser perigosa. Alguns o acusariam de acomodado e impulsivo, do tipo que não leva nada a sério, mas Hope defende que ele aproveita a vida e sabe ser feliz onde está: não precisa se tornar um engomadinho e subir a escada corporativa para isso. Suas morais e sua ética são um tanto quanto… flexíveis, é verdade, mas é que mundo é dos espertos. É mais ligeiro e inquieto do que parece; está acostumado a estar sempre em movimento, mesmo que não esteja em alta velocidade. Quando quer, se dedica bastante. A verdade, também, é que ele se importa mais do que parece: tanto que, sob o exterior plácido, coleciona umas tantas inseguranças. Acima de tudo, porém, ele se importa com quem ama. É aí que todo o cuidado, o carinho e a dedicação de que Hope é capaz aparecem. Reluzem. Faria tudo, tudo mesmo, por quem ama.

HEADCANONS OU BIOGRAFIA:

Hope sempre foi, à sua maneira, uma força da natureza. Vai ver puxou à sua mãe, vai ver aprendeu com ela: depende se você acredita que somos frutos de nossos genes ou de nosso meio. A mãe de Hope? A mesma mulher que, a despeito dos protestos da família, se divorciou do marido ricaço que era pai de seu filho porque se recusava a lidar com um chato de galocha que não sabia tratá-la como merecia. A mesma mulher que se mudou para Phuket para recomeçar, mesmo que a troco de criar o filho praticamente sozinha — embora ali tivesse a ajuda e acolhida dos tios do rapaz. A mesma mulher que, quando engravidou de novo, decidiu por seguir como mãe solteira; não se casaria com um caso de uma noite apenas para se poupar de um estigma. Desde cedo, Hope tentou fazer o que podia para ajudar a mãe e a irmã mais nova. Ajudava nos cuidados de sua nong e ajudava no trabalho da família. Seus professores provavelmente o descreveriam como “esperto, cheio de potencial, mas desinteressado”... o que talvez fosse verdade. Hope estudava… o que lhe interessava; não à toa era quase um prodígio em idiomas. No entanto, vivia mais preocupado com coisas práticas. Nessa vida, já fez quase que de tudo um pouco: toda sorte de trabalho honesto… e nem tão honesto assim. Talvez já tenha passado a perna em alguns farang. Talvez já tenha vendido uns produtinhos pirateados, ou vendido bebida alcoólica nos corredores da faculdade. Talvez. Em sua defesa, se um dia aplicou golpe, sempre foi um golpe tão óbvio que, se alguém caiu nele, foi a seleção natural agindo. De uma forma ou de outra, com o tempo, a família Anantasetthakul conseguiu uma vida mais confortável. Hope conseguiu entrar numa faculdade. Até conseguiu fazer um intercâmbio de alguns meses para a Colômbia, por pura e simples vontade. Graduou-se em Turismo, mesmo que tenha se formado um pouquinho mais tarde que outros colegas. É que sua vida virou de ponta-cabeça quando a irmã mais nova sofreu um acidente que, além de deixá-la por um tempo internada, causou a perda da sua visão. Hope gastou uma parte de suas economias para garantir à garota o melhor hospital, a melhor cirurgia, a recuperação com todo o suporte necessário. Ei, duvide da índole de Hope, do caráter, da honestidade… mas você não pode duvidar da lealdade e do amor do rapaz a sua família. Faria de tudo por ela. E a rotina dessa família mudou bastante após o acidente. 

Anna continuava mais ou menos a mesma de sempre: era a caçula brilhante da família. Mesmo assim, era óbvio que estava enlutada pela sua visão, e pela vida que não recuperaria até segunda ordem. Era óbvio que Phuket não estava totalmente ajustada a pessoas com deficiência. Hope só queria garantir que ela se cuidasse, que recuperasse a confiança e que seguisse seus sonhos. Ela se formaria no que quisesse, faria da vida o que quisesse, e nenhuma barreira de acesso iria impedi-la. Por isso, Hope correu atrás de um bom estágio e arranjou um emprego estável. E continuou naquele emprego, em que foi promovido. Mesmo que o trabalho fosse estressante, desgastante, e se tornasse cada vez mais gratificante. Mesmo que o ambiente fosse tóxico. Mesmo que seu chefe fosse um grandíssimo de um filho da puta. Ele podia lidar.

Ou talvez não. Até uma pessoa tão tranquila quanto Hope tinha seus limites, pelo visto. Até uma pessoa tão incansável quanto Hope podia sofrer burnout. E, naturalmente, nem sua mãe, nem sua irmã, nem ninguém em sua vida, estavam muito felizes em vê-lo daquele jeito. Ele já devia saber que elas não engoliriam alguém fazendo sacrifícios por elas, ainda mais quando aquele sacrifício custava alguém que elas amavam. Hope cedeu: pediu as contas. Pegou a grana que ainda tinha guardada e investiu em um quiosque na praia de Bang Tao, um lugar tranquilo frequentado por gente com grana pra gastar — o tipo de gente com quem Hope aprendera bem a lidar. Ainda tinha a carteirinha de poliglota para lhe ajudar no atendimento. Deu ao seu novo estabelecimento o nome de sua irmã, para manter sua motivação perto, bem perto: diante de seus olhos. Se estava investindo em seu sonho? Bom… veja bem, Hope nunca fora lá muito ambicioso; tinha lá suas vontades e desejos, mas nunca tivera um graaaande sonho de carreira como outras pessoas. Só queria viver uma vida tranquila e feliz, e que as pessoas que amava vivessem o mesmo. Mas, às vezes, ponderava a ideia de abrir um quiosque: de ter seu próprio negócio e viver na praia, sempre conhecendo gente nova, sempre cozinhando algo gostoso, como bem gostaria. Hope torcia para não perder dinheiro com aquele negócio, obviamente. Mas não esperava que ele desse tão certo. Certo a ponto de seu staff quase não dar conta da demanda na alta temporada. O Anna Bar on the Beach estava ali para todo mundo, afinal: para os turistas de carteira cheia, para os mochileiros, para os universitários e moradores humildes que queriam explorar uma praia ‘de elite’. 

Agora, o bendito quiosque virou o xodó de Hope. Implementou projetos para expandir seus serviços e investiu em marketing — um jeito chique de dizer que, hoje, tem influencer divulgando o quiosque, que ele promove uns eventos maneiros, e que, ainda por cima, lá você aluga espreguiçadeira, guarda-sol… e até compra um protetor solar de emergência.

Hoje, Hope pode dizer que está muito mais satisfeito com sua vida. Sua família está bem, e, ufa, ele não colocou tudo a perder e levou ela à falência como tanto temia. Pelo contrário. Hoje o homem se dedica ao quiosque durante o dia e, depois de fechar, senta numa espreguiçadeira e vai dedilhar uma música no violão. Sente que finalmente é reconhecido por seus talentos de que mais se orgulha: por hablar em línguas, ser um cozinheiro de mão cheia e saber tudo sobre Phuket de cor e salteado. Já até conseguiu certa visibilidade por chamar alguém da clientela para dançar cha-cha! De resto, segue resgatando animais, e tem sempre um novo peludinho em sua casa. Ah, e, por acaso, os  seus dias de trambique são águas passadas, tá? Ele jura. O Anna Bar funciona com dignidade, com alvará e tudo o mais.

[pesquisalitoranea]

Eu prometi e cumpri, viu? Voltei aqui hoje com um roteiro de 1 dia na ilha de Phuket! Eu espero que você passe bem mais tempo do que isso por lá, mas eu só quero te mostrar o que te aguarda nessa ilha! Vamos lá?

Eu te indicaria começar o seu dia bem cedinho, assistindo o nascer do sol lá na Praia de Kata! Confia em mim, você vai adorar a vibe mais calma e a companhia dos surfistas.

Em seguida, vá direto pro Grande Buda! É uma estátua gigante de mais de 45 metros de altura. Dá pra você ver tudo lá de cima.

Depois, visite o templo Wat Chalong. Vai por mim, você pode não ser budista, mas o lugar é muito bonito, colorido e é um clássico da ilha. Só se lembra que você não pode entrar lá com roupas curtas e nem usando sapatos!

Almoce no Three Monkeys, um restaurante em Mueang Phuket localizado praticamente na porta do Hanuman World. A decoração te leva pra dentro da selva!

Explore Phuket Old Town! O centro histórico é bonito, colorido e vai te surpreender, pode acreditar. De longe, uma das minhas partes favoritas da ilha.

No fim da tarde e à noite, se você procura um agito, vá para Patong! A Praia de Patong é sempre muito movimentada, então com certeza você vai achar algo pra se entreter ali.

Caso a praia não te entretenha o suficiente (e caso você não esteja com a família), passe pela Bangla Road, nossa Las Vegas Tailandesa. Tem de tudo naquele lugar, acredite, mas repetindo: eu não recomendaria para um passeio familiar.

Você pode escolher jantar em alguma barraquinha do Malin Plaza ou em algum dos vários bares de Patong que ficam abertos uma noite inteira! Ah! Se for no fim de semana, você tem a chance de conhecer o Naka Market, que tem uma vibe parecida com a do Malin.

Caso você esteja com a família ou só não goste de um lugar movimentado, fuja de Patong e procure algo mais próximo de Surin que é bem mais reservado (e se quiser algo mais sofisticado, sempre tem a opção de ir ao Black Ginger, só prepare o seu bolso pra desembolsar, ele é, realmente, um restaurante de luxo).

Se você tiver um pouco mais de tempo do que isso, eu super indicaria o passeio à ilha de James Bond, onde foi gravado um trecho do filme, e uma visita à minha Rádio (sim, ela é aberta a visitação), vai que você me encontra por lá?

Não se esqueça de passar o protetor solar e usar roupas confortáveis! Ninguém quer ficar queimado com esse solzão, né?

Udon Thani

Udon Thani

Udon Thani (Thai: อุดรธานี, pronounced [ʔù.dɔ̄ːn tʰāː.nīː]) is a city in Isan (Northeast Thailand), the capital of Udon Thani Province and the sixth largest city in Thailand. The city municipality (thesaban nakhon / city proper) had a population of 130,531 people as of 2019, while Udon Thani's urban area, Mueang Udon Thani, has a population of approximately 400,000. Udon Thani is one of four major cities in Isan, the others being Nakhon Ratchasima, Ubon Ratchathani, and Khon Kaen. Together they are known as the "big four of Isan".

Location

Udon is approximately 560 km from Bangkok. It is a major official and commercial center in northern Isan, Thailand, and the gateway to Laos, northern Vietnam, and southern China.

History

The city's economy was boosted by the proximity to Udorn Royal Thai Air Force Base during the Vietnam War and retains reminders of that time in the form of bars, coffee shops, and hotels. "Udon sort of became like Pattaya when the GIs arrived," said a local architect.  "Restaurants serving Western cuisine, hotels and nightclubs sprouted up everywhere to meet their needs. It was an extremely busy city back then." 

The BBC has reported that Udon Thani's Royal Air Force Base was the site of a CIA black site, known to insiders as "Detention Site Green", used to interrogate Abu Zubaydah, Saudi-born Palestinian, believed to be one of Osama bin Laden's top lieutenants. In December 2014 the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) published an executive summary of a secret 6,000-page report on CIA techniques. The report alleges that at least eight Thai senior officials knew of the secret site. The site was closed in December 2002. 

Earlier reports alleged that a Voice of America relay station in a rural area of Udon Thani Province, Ban Dung District, was the CIA black site.

Administration

Udon Thani town municipality (thesaban mueang) with an area of 5.6 km2 (2.2 sq mi) was established on 15 March 1936.  On 27 May 1953, the area covered by the municipality was increased to 8.3 km2 (3.2 sq mi).   As a result of the town's continuing growth, the total area of the municipality was enlarged for the second time to 47.7 km2 (18.4 sq mi). on 31 December 1993.  On 25 September 1995 Udon Thani was upgraded to city municipality (thesaban nakhon),  and is divided into 21 sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 248 villages (mubans). (chumchon), 130,531 people in 60,659 households.

Transport

Udon Thani International Airport, close to the city centre (within the ring road), serves a number of domestic airports: Chiang Mai International Airport, U-Tapao International Airport (Pattaya), and Phuket, with approximately 24 daily flights to Bangkok (Don Mueang International and Suvarnabhumi Airport).   During the 2020-2021 COVID-19 pandemic flights were reduced to 10-14 daily to  Bangkok airports only.

Udon Thani railway station in the city centre receives four trains daily from Bangkok railway station (Hua Lamphong) including overnight sleepers.

Economy

Mining

 

Asia Pacific Potash Corporation (APPC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Italian-Thai Development PLC, owns the concession to the Udon North and Udon South potash mines and plans to develop them.  Potash deposits in northeast Thailand are believed to contain the world's third-largest—after Canada and Russia—unexploited potash reserves.  Potash is one of the main components of agricultural fertilizer.

Climate

Udon Thani has a tropical savanna climate (Köppen climate classification Aw). Winters are fairly dry and very warm. Temperatures rise until April, which is hot with the average daily maximum at 36.2 °C (97.2 °F). The monsoon season runs from late-April through early-October, with heavy rain and somewhat cooler temperatures during the day, although nights remain warm. The range of reliably recorded temperatures in the city is from 2.5 °C (36.5 °F) to 44.1 °C (111.4 °F).

BAE MINWOO

FACECLAIM: Jisung - NCT DATA DE NASCIMENTO E IDADE: 17 de fevereiro 2002, 22 anos GÊNERO: Homem cis ETNIA E NACIONALIDADE: Coreano, Coreia do Sul OCUPAÇÃO: Garçom no Yona Beach Club É MORADOR OU TURISTA? Morador DISTRITO: Mueang Phuket @minwoopht

PERSONALIDADE:

Bastante espirituoso e sonhador, possui um apreço notável por tecnologia e coisas que englobam a evolução humana em geral. Visionário e curioso, é falante e expansivo quando envolvido em algum assunto de seu interesse. Quando criança, almejava profissões heroicas como a de policial, bombeiro, astronauta, muito também influenciado pelos desenhos e filmes que gostava de assistir.

Às vezes pode ser considerado um pouco mimado ou genioso, talvez pela criação no posto de filho e irmão mais novo e toda a proteção que recebeu da família, o que traz, em contrapartida, uma leve rebeldia característica também da pouca idade e maturidade ainda em construção.

HEADCANONS OU BIOGRAFIA:

Nascido nas primeiras horas de um 17 de fevereiro gelado no ano de 2002, o calor da família aqueceu o coração de Minwoo desde o primeiro instante de sua vida. Muito bem recebido pelos pais, advogados renomados da capital sul-coreana e pela irmã mais velha Sonah, cresceu envolto no conforto, amor e proteção proporcionado por todos.

Criança muito enérgica e espirituosa, Minwoo era fascinado por super-heróis e imerso em desenhos e animações futuristas. Aos poucos, a personalidade rebelde e expansiva se diferenciava totalmente da doçura característica de Sonah. Eram opostos como yin-yang e talvez por isso se davam tão bem. Eram complementares. Além de tudo, era também o único filho homem e a pressão para que tivesse uma carreira tão promissora e renomada quanto a do pai intensificava ainda mais essa rebeldia, fazendo-o seguir o caminho completamente oposto ao esperado: apesar de ter encerrado o ensino médio com louvor e excelentes notas, estava decidido a servir ao exército sul-coreano antes de ingressar em uma universidade, especialmente sendo Direito a de vontade dos pais, coisa que abominava e torcia para que esquecessem completamente quando retornasse do serviço militar. O estava fazendo principalmente para fugir da "obrigação".

Contudo, o sumiço repentino de Sonah após mudar-se para a Tailândia atrás de um suposto namorado alterou completamente os planos e o rumo da vida de Minwoo. Preocupado com a irmã e sua falta de comunicação com a família por meses, decidiu voar para a Tailândia sozinho em busca da filha mais velha dos Bae. Certo de que a encontraria vivendo ao menos decentemente com o homem, o baque foi ainda maior ao encontrar Sonah abandonada por ele, que era um golpista, passando por incontáveis dificuldades financeiras e envergonhada demais para se abrir sobre o ocorrido. Já totalmente inserido no contexto da mentira, decidiu não expor a irmã para os pais, mas sim ajudá-la a se reerguer.

Apesar da dificuldade com o idioma tailandês, que ainda está aprendendo por viver há pouco mais de cinco meses em Phuket, falar coreano e inglês fluentemente foi de muita utilidade para que conseguisse um emprego de garçom no Yona Beach Club, local frequentado por muitos turistas que necessitam de atendimento em outros idiomas.

É visto passeando pela ilha com seu skate, que o leva para absolutamente todos os lugares que precisa ir.

Hidden Gems of Thailand: A Guide to Phang Nga's Stunning Beaches

The Beaches At Phang Nga

Have you ever visited the lush, white sandy Phang Nga beaches? You need to if you are looking for a gorgeous, serene place to relax. Lucky for you, these gems can be accessed easily as part of a Phang Nga Bay tours or a kayaking tour of Phang Nga.

Phang Nga Bay's beaches offer a bustling array of activities for visitors. With numerous restaurants, options for swimming, snorkelling, boat rides, and tours are plentiful. For those seeking peace, there are serene beaches perfect for relaxing and leisurely walking along the sand. If you desire a destination that caters to all preferences, the beaches in the Phang Nga region are an ideal choice.

The most exquisite beaches stretch south of Takua Pa to the area facing Phuket. Several spots remain wild and undeveloped. Before the 1980s, it was possible to stroll along these beaches without spotting a single hotel.

Having introduced Phang Nga, let's explore the notable beaches within its mainland area, starting with Khao Lak Beach.

Khao Lak Beach

Khao Lak Beach, known for its stunning white sands, greets you as you near Phang Nga Province's coastline. "Khao Lak" encompasses the entire 30 km seaside stretch from Khao Lak Beach northward to Takua Pa.

This beach in Phang Nga Bay is ideal for swimming, with its stunning array of uniquely shaped rocks. The area's tranquillity is further enhanced by majestic pine trees, making it a perfect spot for relaxation.

The Chaopho Khao Lak shrine is a revered local landmark deeply respected by the community.

Increasing local businesses have contributed to Khao Lak Beach's self-sufficiency, reducing its dependence on outside ventures. These include numerous seafood restaurants with bamboo and thatch decor, an Italian eatery, and a handful of bars and shops. As a result, visitors have an array of options available. A must-visit is the Siam Turmeric restaurant, conveniently located at the entrance to the road leading to Khao Lak Beach.

Bang Lut Beach

Bang Lut Beach, another secluded gem along Phang Nga's west coast, boasts untouched natural beauty. Characterized by its serene atmosphere, this powdery beach is adjacent to a small fishing village with a quaint pier. With no development on its shores, Bang Lut is enveloped in lush palm and casuarina trees, adding to its tranquil charm.

Natai Beach

This beach stands out for its cleanliness, tranquillity, and untouched nature, making it ideal for relaxation. The gentle waves provide a peaceful setting perfect for photography. Its sandy expanse welcomes leisurely walks along the shore or to the pier, and the stunning sunsets are not to be missed. While it's great for picnics and basking in the evening sun, swimming is less advisable, though still safe. It might explain the limited number of resorts in the area.

Thai Mueang Beach

This beach in Phang Nga Bay boasts clear waters adjacent to pristine white sands. As one approaches the Tableau Naval Base, the landscape gradually ascends into forests and mangroves. Its proximity to the highway enhances accessibility. A unique feature of this beach is its role as a nesting site for sea turtles between November and February. Locals celebrate the hatchlings' journey to the sea each March with the annual "Sea Turtle Releasing Festival."

Sunset Beach

Sunset Beach, nestled within Phang Nga Bay, is renowned for its clear waters, soft golden sands, and gentle tides. The beach is lined with resorts offering stunning waterfront views. For those interested in marine life, snorkelling here provides an opportunity to explore a diverse array of fish and underwater plants.

Khuk Khak Beach

This vibrant beach in Phang Nga Bay is fringed with various resorts. Its crystal-clear waters are invitingly near a quaint fishing village, where visitors can observe local fishermen at work.

The Ultimate 3 to 5 Day Krabi Itinerary | Best Things to See in Krabi

Best Things to Do In Krabi

Krabi is a stunning province located in southern Thailand, known for its beautiful beaches, limestone cliffs, and lush jungles. It's a popular destination for tourists looking to relax, explore nature, and experience the local culture.

Today, I will talk about everything you need to know to create your ultimate 3 to 5 day itinerary for your Krabi trip.

Bangkok to Krabi

The best way to reach Krabi from Bangkok is to take a flight. Both Suvarnabhumi (BKK) and Don Mueang (DMK) International Airports offer a daily direct flight taking only 1 hr 25 min from Bangkok. Prices are similar from each airport, but I noticed that DMK usually has more flights and better departure times than BKK. 

Choose the airport based on where you are in Bangkok and what time is the most convenient for you.

From Krabi Airport to Your Hotel/Airbnb

There are several ways to reach your hotel from Krabi Airport. You can take a taxi, airport bus, shuttle service, Grab, or private transfer.

I prefer private transfer, as you can book these online long before your trip and they will greet you at the airport to offer a hassle-free transfer to your hotel.

Where to Stay in Krabi

Ao Nang is a popular tourist destination located in the Krabi province of Thailand. It is known for its beautiful beaches, easy access to nearby islands, and a range of activities like kayaking, rock climbing, and diving.

Ao Nang is a convenient base for exploring the best of Krabi, including famous islands such as Railay and Koh Phi Phi, as well as nearby beaches and national parks. In addition to its natural beauty, Ao Nang also offers a vibrant nightlife scene with plenty of bars, pubs, and live music venues.

Overall, Ao Nang is the best central base location to stay and explore Krabi.

Instead of giving a day-by-day itinerary, I will describe what you must not miss in Krabi. This way you will have flexibility to create your own itinerary with the attractions that are important to you.

Island Tours You Must Not Miss

There are so many tours in Krabi that it’s easy to get overwhelmed. However, my top recommendations are the two tours below before you try any others.

1. James Bond Island Longtail Boat Tour

2. Phi Phi Islands Speedboat Day Tour

Pro Tip: Book these tours months before your trip. If you are going to Phuket, you can take these tours from Phuket as well. Compare where (Krabi or Phuket) you’ll get cheaper options. You can shift one or both tours to Phuket if necessary and book other tours not mentioned here.

Top Things You Must Not Miss in Krabi

There are so many things to do in Krabi, but these are my top favourites and you should try these first before doing anything else.

- Visit Railay Beach - a popular spot for swimming, snorkeling, and rock climbing

- Visit the Tiger Cave Temple - a Buddhist temple located on a hilltop, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding area. Warning: There are 1260 steps to climb, so assess your fitness level.

- Experience the local night markets and sample authentic Thai cuisine.

- Visit Ao Nang Beach and other beaches.

- Visit The Emerald Pool and also the nearby Blue Pool, which is a deeper and more vivid pool of water.

- Visit Krabi Town - the main town and the cultural hub of Krabi province.

- Take Elephant Bathing Tour at Elephant Shelter or Sanctuary. Opt for responsible sanctuaries that prioritize animal welfare over exploitative practices.

Pro Tip: Some of these sightseeing spots may already be included in the day tours you are taking, so make sure to avoid duplicates before visiting them. 

Embrace the flexibility this guide offers. Craft your dream Krabi itinerary, incorporating the experiences that resonate most with you, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
