If you have super powers, do you want to return to the past? Time travel is thought to be ridiculous and almost impossible. However, many movies, or stories are thought to go back in time to the past. This is considered an extremely interesting topic, and has been a concern for a long time. Scientists have studied and made many assumptions about the past. Doraemon is one of the famous films about the time travel of a group of young people, and it has left a deep impression in children’s memories.

When Doraemon’s first episodes of the past return to the time machine, it has caused a fever among young people not only in Japan but also in many countries around the world. Since then, many questions have been raised about whether time machines are real and whether humans are capable of time travel.

So if you went back to the past, where would you go and what would you do? I am also one of the people watching the movies go back to the past, so going back to the past has been one of my dreams for a long time. If I could go back to the past, I want to go back to Thailand’s Ayutthaya period, one of Thailand’s most powerful historical periods.

When World War broke out, almost all Asian countries were occupied by Western countries, only Thailand maintained its independence by special policies. After that, I gradually learned more about Thai history and watched old Thai films. It inspired me and loved the history of Thailand and especially the Ayutthaya period. During this period, it was said to be a period of prosperity and development in Thai history, moreover, the Thai royal family only used a separate language to use. When you watch movies or documentaries in this historical period, you see how much the Thai people respect the king. All items raised to the king such as food, jewelry and clothing were meticulously and elaborately made. If I had a chance to return to Ayutthaya, I would learn and witness a prosperous period, and the majestic scenery of Thailand at that time. In addition, I will learn court etiquette, one of the things I most want to do when I return to the past.
What about you, are you a history lover like me. If you go back to the past, where would you go and what would you do?
