How to say “Happy Birthday” in Thai.

This is a phrase that you can use.
สุขสันต์วันเกิด
สุขสันต์ mean Happy
วันเกิด means Birthday
Let’s talk a little bit about สุขสันต์
Eventhough it means Happy, but it is not used in the sentence like “I am happy”.
If you want to say “I am happy”, then you’ll have to say ฉันมีความสุข
Normally you will find สุขสันต์ in a phrase like Happy Birthday, Happy Mother’s Day, Happy
Valentine’s day , etc.
I give you some example, Mothers’ day , In Thai we say วันแม่
So, when you want to say Happy Mother’s day , you will simply say สุขสันต์วันแม่
ok, how about วันพ่อ, วันพ่อ is Father’s day.
Now can you tell me how to say “Happy Father’s Day”.
Give you 3 seconds… 1…2….3 Yes, you got it. สุขสันตัวันพ่อ

In this story, a wax bowl of stinky tofu named Stinfu wants to transform into real food. How does he do it? This is Part 3 of 4. 

The night market had finished and all the satisfied customers had left. There was only the restaurant staff, working very quickly to pack up. They didn’t want to spend another minute around a kitchen. They wanted to get home to their warm houses and relax. 

Stinfu stayed where he was. From his view in the showcase, he couldn’t see any of the workers, but he could definitely hear them. He heard plates being washed and stacked; and he heard spray bottles used to clean tables. 

Then, right on time, just like every night, Stinfu was picked up and moved out onto the counter. A waiter then reached inside the showcase and wiped the glass. 
Stinfu looked out at the lonely, empty night market and wished for a miracle. 

I’ve done my service… I’ve attracted thousands of customers to eat stinky tofu… I’m done. I’m tired of living a fake life. I know I’m something real, something more than this wax figure. 

And with that thought, Stinfu saw the homeless man return. 

The homeless man creeped forward, trying to stay hidden from the restaurant workers. He crouched down behind a table and looked straight at Stinfu. The homeless man’s eyes said everything: I’m going to get that stinky tofu or die trying! 

Stinfu lit up with absolute joy and sung a little song in his mind. 

Eat me, eat me, eat me—I’m ready. Eat me, eat me, eat me—I’m delicious! 

When the time was right, and the workers were nowhere to be seen, the homeless man ran forward to the counter and snatched Stinfu.

Today's topic is "Shinkansen" which is bullet train.
I enjoyed the travel from Shin-Osaka to Shinagawa.  Restaurants, souvenir shop, and inside of Shinkansen are very interesting.  
I hope you enjoy Japanese travel by Shinkansen.  Thank you!
*******************************************************
今日は久しぶりに新幹線に乗りました。
新大阪９時３３分発ののぞみ１００号で品川着１１時５６分でした。
品川の東京の一つ手前の駅です。　５４５．６キロを２時間２０分ほどで走ります。本を読んだり、少し居眠りをしている間に着きます。
今回私は、朝、早めに新大阪まで行って、駅の構内で朝ごはんを食べました。それから土産物店でお土産を買いました。関西の有名なお菓子や京都の抹茶を使ったお菓子など品ぞろえも豊富です。大阪名物のたこ焼きや５５１の豚まんなどもあります。大きな駅の土産物店は、本当にいろいろなものが置いてあって面白いです。
最近まで私は知らなかったのですが、インターネットで新幹線の座席予約ができるEX予約というサービスがあります。EXカードがあれば、事前に切符を発券する必要もありません。当日、改札機にEXカードをかざせば、EXご利用票が改札機から出てきて、そのまま新幹線に乗ることができます。支払いも事前に登録しておいた決済方法で処理されるので、財布やカードを出して支払いをしなくてもいいです。めちゃくちゃ簡単で便利です。変更したいときもネットから簡単にできるし、予約した内容はメールで送られてくるので、メモを取る必要もありません。乗車方法が見られるサイトのURLも記載されていて、至れり尽くせりです。
新幹線の中は、いつもきれいに掃除されていて　気持ちがいいです。ずいぶん昔に乗ったときより、座席もゆったりしているような気がします。それに前の座席との距離も十分にあって、広く感じます。今回は泊りがけなので、小さいスーツケースが一つとリュックが一つ。それに新大阪で買ったお土産の紙袋が一つ。座席の上の棚にコートとスーツケースを置きました。　その棚も十分にスペースがあるし、１５５㎝しかない私でも　届く高さになっていました。
座席はリクライニングにできるので、少し後ろに倒して　リラックスして座ることができました。
新幹線の旅が好きになりそうです。でも、ちょっと値段が高いことだけが残念ですけどね。
