Once upon a time, Rayong residents used the Rayong River that flows through the city center. It’s the main river for trading & doing business. There was a shipyard business that using water transportation to transport goods up & down to various cities

Until the era Phra Sri Samut Phok (Im Yomjinda), the last ruler of Rayong has begun to build the 1️⃣st road to be parallel to the river called Yomjinda Road, which became the road that was the economic center of Rayong in the past. Built in 1917, this road has a Sino-Portuguese building with a decrepit wall that would make a nice background for portrait photos in landscape orientation & has been restored into a charming old town with teak buildings consisting of Chinese influence & a strip of quaint century-old houses

You’ll enjoy visiting the King Taksin Shrine, the City Pillar, Lum Mahachai Temple, Wat Pa Pradu, amazed with beautiful street art done by the local Thai talents, cafe hopping, exploring small museums (FB: https://www.facebook.com/people/บ้านสัตย์อุดม/100076653469563/) , art galleries etc.

It measures 🔟m in height & is surrounded by thick mangrove forests 🌳 🌳 In the olden times, this pagoda was a landmark for people to let them know they had reached the Rayong precinct. Now many mentioned that all visitors to Rayong must visit here to prove themselves they’ve reached Rayong 😁

SiennyLovesDrawing 👩🏻💖  has received blessing hits from the Thai monk during her prayer session here that made her travel mates laughing 😄 😂 at her that time as captured in her IG album via 📹📸🌐

Refired Not Retired Day To Live Life To The Fullest

Updated 6 March 2022, 12pm

SiennyLovesDrawing 👩🏻 has recently read about how to celebrating Refired, Not Retired Day, 1st March annually, it’s as simple as reevaluating any of your ideas (If yet to have, can start exploring now 😃) of what it means to you to be retired. What have you got planned for the years after you retire or even retire early❓⁉️

Refired Not Retired Day is dedicated to all those people who have retired already OR about to get retired. During retirement period of life, live your life to the fullest, yes, just enjoy your life & make the most of these retirement years by doing things that you always wanted to do, as you finally got time to do all the things that you love to do. Read more via 🌐 https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/refired-not-retired-day/

Hmm…SiennyLovesDrawing actually wishes to retire early, yes ✅, since she has graduated & starting to work 👩🏻‍💻, this is a life goal 🎯 that she is working on. It means good financial habits count, be discipline in your budget set, not wasting money unnecessarily etc. Some of her tips are reduce eating out, no unnecessarily phone upgrades, unnecessarily clothing & apparel shopping, not to opt for extended warranties & not to fall into emotional impulse shopping etc.

“Planning to retire? Before you do find your hidden passion, do the thing that you have always wanted to do.” ~ By Catherine Pulsifer

Apart from the major concern ie. Enough financial to support early retirement, the rule of thumb widely recognised is only withdraw 4% from retirement savings each year

Personally to her, enough meant differently by each retirees, if you can be living on a lower budget that you’re comfortably adapting to, without any luxury elements, then your “enough” for early retirement surely more achievable, as compared to those that wish to enjoy a more luxury comfortable retirement life. So, a honest & reality self reflect is required to consider your retirement lifestyle, current or long term healthcare needs, living downsizing etc. ya 💪🏻🙌🏻👍🏻

The important factor that drives her to achieving early retirement is what she is gonna do to fill her time after retire. Once retired, it means literally you have extra hours of 9 to 5 on your own, no need answering to many bosses, hurray‼️ She knows herself well that she needs to keep her time occupied, she just can’t be doing nothing for a long time, she just can’t, lol 😆

Frankly, initially when she wishes to retire early, so she can backpacking around the world 🎒🌎, however with the global health pandemic now, she needs to pen down what she is gonna do instead before her long backpacking journey then

Let’s start to craft out an actual plan for your post-retirement years OR plan a fun bucket list that you can happily tick off after each exciting completion during your retirement

It’s just a new 🆕 beginning after your retirement, enjoy new 🆕 life for your own self. It’s a 2nd chance for all retirees to live life to its fullest to stay happy vital

In this sharing, SiennyLivesDrawing 👩🏻 is gonna sharing some pointers/ ideas of what to do to fill your time during retirement. It’s important to plan well to enjoy the max benefits of an early retirement 😃

What’s your answers to these questions❓⁉️

  • When you were a child, what did you love most? Isn’t it now the time that each of us remembered the simple joy of being a child?
  • Anything you wished you would have done? Not done?
  • Who matters to you?
  • If money were not a problem, what would you be doing now?
  • If tomorrow is your last day in life, will you have any regrets?
