    Well, first impression is that your page is too green. Second is that italic font isn't easy to read. Before you work on getting traffic, I think you should work on keeping your visitor around longer. :)

    I agree with varchar, it´s to green, it gives an unprofessional look. Take off the sound, it just makes the page harder to load. Could have a little bit more info on the main page. Apart from that it´s alright, as long as you get ride of that green

    Hello Satyrion

    I had a chance to look over your site today.

    My Thoughts

    Template
    As mentioned before, I think your site color is too green. If you are going after a natural feel to the site... I would recommend that you use an image of green plants or forest. Something that represents Thailand very well.

    Sound File & Images
    I find that your sound player and images sit outside of your content area. Please see image below:

    [​IMG]

    Content Font
    I also find that the font you chose for the main content area is hard to read. I consider my eye sight very good.... so I could only imagine those who have already have difficulties reading when viewing your site.

    Pictures
    You have an excellent set of pictures but maybe try space them out a little further and use less images per row. Right now, it is very busy the way it is ligned up.

    Guest Book Page
    I find that your Google Ads takes up to much space that could be used for your guest form. Could the guest form be placed at the top?

    I also think that the guest book should open in the current site window rather than a new window. Also, you should keep the same navigation buttons at top... so as to not confuse your visitors.

    Conclusion
    It is a very good idea for a website... but it does need some work to be done.

    This review was done with FireFox 2.0.0.9 on Windows XP SP2.

    I do hope this was helpful.
    Respectfully,
    Lhlalyam

    Hire a designer mate. Too much green.

    Good luck!

    No I don't like the green either.
    I would also design some buttons for you nav-bar.
    The idea is brilliant though and you have a good domain name. Get a profesional to design a template for you.
    Good luck.
