The stuff at the dorm of boys submerged in floodwater and all the clothes they have to wash again, luckily the dormitory of the girls were on the second floor so that our goods are fine and we can rest before Ajarn Narong came to pick us up after lunch.
At 1.30 pm we going to Folklore Museum with Ajarn Narong's Family by van of Songkhla Rajabhat University. To get into the museum, we have to pay a ticket for 100 Bath for everyone.

The
General Prem Tinsulanonda Historical Park of Songkhla is the place
which the people of Songkhla and those who have admiration for the good
deeds and sacrifices of General Prem Tinsulanonda, the President of the
Privy Council and Senior Statesman, joined together to create in his
honor. The multi-purpose building was constructed as a facility for
domestic and international meetings and seminars. Presently it is a
Statesman’s Hall dedicated to the works of General Prem Tinsulanonda.
The area surrounding the building has been improved to include a public
park, a center of learning about mangrove forests, a place for camping
and relaxation, one of the important tourist attractions in Songkhla
Province. Mr. Banyat Jansena, a previous governor of Songkhla, along
with a number of government officials, representatives of the private
sector, and citizens established this as a center of cooperative efforts
of those dedicated. Subsequently the General Prem Tinsulanonda
Historical Foundation assumed overall responsibility for the care,
maintenance and future development of the Historical Park.
