เหนือชั้น1000แปลก - สวนสนุกแนวธรรมะ Suoi Tien Par
คุณเจ พาไป โฮจิมินห์ พบเรื่องแปลก นั่นคือ สวนสนุกแนวธรรมะ Suoi Tien Park ซึ่งเป็นสวนสนุก ที่ตกแต่งบรรยากาศเหมือนวัด
In this episode of Neua Chan Phan Plaek, I've tripped across to Ho Chi Minh city in Vietnam to take a look at a fun park with a twist.
For those who have been following my language development progress over the years, you'd know that I dabbled in Vietnamese a couple of years back for a few weeks, then for another week or so during Miss Universe in Nha Trang in 2008. Well, this trip was a great opportunity to dust some of the cobwebs off of some of the language that I'd played with before and see if people actually understood me when I opened my mouth! During the clip here, you'll see me asking several questions in Vietnamese. This is a milestone for me. Although my level of Vietnamese is quite dismal at the moment, I really believe that if I stay there for a few weeks, it wouldn't take much to bring it up to par. Something just 'clicked' over this last trip, and I hope I'll be able to spend a lot more time there in the future!

If you know of any extraordinary / amazing / bizarre people, places or things that you think would make a great story, send me an email and tell me about it. We might be able to make a trip out there and cover it for the show! - stujay@hotmail.com
I have recently visited suoi tien park but did not understand the history behind it until I watched this. As a vietnamese born overseas, I find this very inspirational. thanks for this video clip!

Thanks!... it's great to know that someone's got something from the showv:) ... i had a great time shooting it and found it fascinating to learn about Vietnam's history / culture and see how it differs from here in Thailand and other countries in the region.
It's also inspired me to get more serious about learning Vietnamese!

FOr some reason, I'm getting the comments coming into my inbox, but when I come to see them here, they're not appearing. In response to the question :
"Is Vietnamese grammar similar toThai?" -
The answer is YES. THere are so many similarities - in a lot of cases, it's a one to one translation from Thai. Even the vowel system and many so called 'non-chinese' words actually resemble the Thai words for the same thing.
