BASEBALL

         Baseball is a bat and ball sport played between two teams of nine players each. The goal is to score run by hitting a thrown ball with a bat and touching a series of four bases arranged at the corners of a ninety-foot square, or diamond. Players on one team (the batting team) take turns hitting against the pitcher of the other team (the fielding team), which tries to stop them from scoring runs by getting hitters out in any of several ways. A player on the batting team can stop at any of the bases and later advance via a teammate's hit or other means. The teams switch between batting and fielding whenever the fielding team records three outs. One turn at bat for each team constitutes an inning and nine innings make up a professional game. The team with the most runs at the end of the game wins.
Evolving from older bat-and-ball games, an early form of baseball was being played in England by the mid-eighteenth century. This game and the related rounders were brought by British and Irish immigrants to North America, where the modern version of baseball developed. By the late nineteenth century, baseball was widely recognized as the national sport of the United States. Baseball on the professional, amateur, and youth levels is now popular in North America, parts of Central and South America and the Caribbean, and parts of East Asia. The game is sometimes referred to as hardball, in contrast to the derivative game of softball.
In North America, professional Major League Baseball (MLB) teams are divided into the National League (NL) and American League (AL). Each league has three divisions: East, West, and Central. Every year, the major league champion is determined by playoffs that culminate in the World Series. Four teams make the playoffs from each league: the three regular season division winners, plus one wild card team. Baseball is the leading team sport in both Japan and Cuba, and the top level of play is similarly split between two leagues: Japan's Central League and Pacific League; Cuba's West League and East League. In the National and Central leagues, the pitcher is required to bat, per the traditional rules. In the American, Pacific, and both Cuban leagues, there is a tenth player, a designated hitter, who bats for the pitcher. Each top-level team has a farm system of one or more minor league teams. These teams allow younger players to develop as they gain on-field experience against opponents with similar levels of skill.

"Mother's Day"

The Queen's Birthday

Her Majesty Queen Sirikit was born on Friday, August 12,1932 ,
as the eldest daughter of His Highness Prince Chandaburi Suranath and Mom Lung Bua Kitiyakara.

Her Majesty was born with the royal title of Mom Rajawongse and Her name "Sirikit",
which means "Glory to the Kitiyakara Family",was Given by His Majesty Fing Prajadhipok (Rama VII ).

Mom Rajawongse Sirikit began her studies at Rajini School of the Queen's School
and during World War II she transferred to St. francis Xavier Convent School in Bangkok.

At the end of the Second World War, her father was appointed the Thai minister
to France and Denmark and full Ambassador to the United Kingdom.
She thus accompanied him and continued her education in Europe here she met His Majesty King Bhumibol.

Their Majesties became engaged on July 19, 1949 and in March of the following year,
His Majesty, accompanied by the Royal Family and Mom Rajawongse Sirikit and her family;
returned to Thailand for the Cremation Ceremony of His majesty King Ananda Mahidol.Rama VII.

The Royal wedding took place at 9.30 a.m. on Friday, April 28,1950 at Sra Pathum Palace.
On May 5 of the same year there followed the Coronation of His Majesty King Bhumibol.

Their majesties have four children, namely:

1. H.R.H. Princess Ubol Ratana, born on the 5th of April 1951, in Lausanne, Switzerland.
2. H.R.H. Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkron, born on the 28th of July 1952 in Bangkok.

In 1956, when His Majesty King Bhumibol entered the monkhood for two weeks,
Her Majesty was appointed as his Regent. During that period,
Her Majesty performed her duties so successfully that,
on the recommendation of the government, Her Majesty was given a royal title of higher distinction:
"Somdejphra Borom Rajininath".

Apart from being a royal wife and mother, Her Majesty the Queen also dedicates her tireless efforts
for the betterment of the Thai people and the entire nation.

The Queen spends much time travelling to rural areas to find sources of supplementary income
in the off-season or in areas affected by droughts or floods.
In order to help poor people in rural areas make both ends meet,
The Foundation for the Promotion of Supplementary Occupations and Related Techniques (SUPPORT)
was established on July, 21 1976 under Her Majesty's patronage.

The foundation has achieved remarkable success, today thousands of rural folks
and their families are benefiting from Her Majesty's countless efforts and initiatives.

As a tribute to Her Majesty's boundless contributions for the happiness of the entire population
and the prosperity of the nation as a whole, August 12 is now a public holiday.

We join all loyal and devoted subjects of the kingdom in wishing Her Majesty the Queen
a long life of good health and happiness.

 

Railay Beach

      Railay, this name is rarely known among Thai people, unlike foreign tourists. Railay was originally recognized as a little village of fishermen on the mainland, it’s not on an island. Due to its surroundings by limestone cliffs, people feel isolated from prosperity of the town and think of being on an island. How to get there: only by long-tail boats from Ao Nang or Ao Nam Mao or Krabi Town, if you come from Krabi. By a cruise, if you travel from Koh Phi Phi. Conservative tourists want to preserve this place as it is. So far there is no road access to Railay. Only by boat, you can get there from Ao Nang or Ao Nam Mao (the shell fossil). It depends the monsoon season during Mid of May till Late Oct every year.

     Lastly I went here on 17 Apr 08 to survey further any new resorts or changes, after the previous time in Apr 06. A lot of foreign tourists are walking along the beach, sun-bathing, taking a trip. All rooms have been fully booked now and then. Tsunami did not negatively affect here much. Contrarily due to limited accommodation in Koh Phi Phi (after Tsunami), tourists chose Railay as their destination instead.

   Why I had been here many times and What I like: we have to talk for quite a long. The first time I came here for 15 years ago. Thinking about the time before building Rayavadee and the Beach movie, so then it is my first time here.

   Things of Railay have not much changed but accommodation has. The resorts have expanded rapidly in terms of numbers of bungalows. Luckily, not changed are attractions such as lagoon, nice view point of the hill top, caves, and beaches. Activities become more attractive like sea canoeing, rock climbing, trekking, etc. Knowing that most of the resorts belonged to two big families: Ngafa and Kayankarn. Both are well known in Aonang and Railay. They and their cousins should be more wealthy when they built more properties in Aonang. However, we have to say "Thank you" to them. Under a local club "Koh Rak Railay" or "คนรักไร่เลย์" means Railay Lovers, the group still conserve and keep this rock and beach environment unchanged. During end of Apr, they arrange a competition of International Rock Climbing every year. This year 2009 is as well.

Music can be a very effective method of learning English.  In fact, it is often used as a way of improving comprehension.  The best way to learn though, is to get the lyrics  to the songs you are listening to and try to read them as the artist sings.
