Taken at the beach near Baan Krood Resort in Prajuab Kheereekhan, Thailand. Went there with the other 4 friends from CMMU. Had not intended to go that far (about 4-hour drive from Bangkok!), but somehow ended up picking this resort when a friend provided choices. However, we didn’t regret going this far to this resort at this beach. The resort was not big, but nice and clean. It just made me feel like home. Plus, the dinner we got for free was unexpectedly delicious! The beach was clean and peaceful. There was a restaurant near there that had a nice chef.. Yeb, the food was good as well! We just walked by the beach, but swam and played around in the swimming pool. We jumped a lot from the artificial tiny waterfall! Fun!

Taken during a business trip to Charlotte, USA, during 30th June - 10th July 2009, with colleagues. Meant to stop in Salisbury, UK, for 2 days, but sadly, the US departure date was postponed. Thus, I was just in London during the transit time back to Bangkok (as the ticket had been booked TH>UK>US and then US>UK>TH). The weather in the US at the time was exactly like Bangkok, so no problem with the weather. The town was not much impressive although the malls were big (I’m not a shopping maniac.. Haha!). I had a chance to visit a few malls there, doing a little shopping (got foods mostly and a pair of Ninewest flat shoes) and checking Blackberry prices for a colleague (around 8-10k Baht cheaper than Thailand!!). However, the hotel was nice, esp the amenities and the bed. The Internet fee was $12.95 for a day, which was considered expensive. Shouldn’t that have been included in the room charge? Duh! The U.S. Whitewater Rafting was something I would want to re-visit. Tried different styles of foods. I kinda like iHops, a pancake house, the most, apart from the spinach salad I had very often. In London, it became the first time I used an Oyster card (not mine, but a colleague’s cousin’s) for a bus. Lastly, Wagamama suck.. Twice that I tried and the dishes were not nice both time.. LOL!!

This is a special postcard made for the owners of the Websters Bed & Breakfast only :) I stayed there when I was in Salisbury, UK, from 7th to 20th February 2009. The BB was very nice and cozy. The food was good and the room was hygenic. Love it a lot. Hope I will have a chance to go back there one day. Thanks to John and Ronie for the comfortable place!

Taken this photo at a Starbucks in London. There were a lot of Starbucks shops than I had expected. Thought Londoners would prefer something ‘English’. LOL.. Maybe not! (I saw one Starbucks in Salisbury.. Perhaps, there are a few in Salisbury, but not so many. Tearooms were better!) Just happened to like this blurred photo, so I made it a postcard :p

The way the light changes in London is different from what we have in Thailand! In London, when the light will change to green, it will show like what you see in this postcard, i.e. red with yellow together. In Thailand, red will change into green right away. There is never a chance that two colours of the light will show up at the same time in Thailand. On the other way round, when green turns to red, in London, yellow will not show up (if I am not wrong); while in Thailand, it will go green, yellow and then red. Different, eh? Good to know.. Interesting to see!
